Non-fiction book idea: "Short Story Long"

It takes the very short, single sentence story "I went to the store to get milk" and expands on basically every aspect of that story.

the biological mechanisms that allow you to walk

the history of urban designs and sidewalks

the history of commerce and capitalism

the history of milk consumption

the production of milk from the biological processes inside the cow to the milking, processing, and distributing

the history of credit and the complicated bureaucracy that keeps the financial system operating smoothly

and on and on

Each one of these topics could fill many books by itself. Which means that ironically this book would also have to keep a lot of long stories short or else it'll never be finished.

That “we saw you across the bar and we really dig your vibe”

But it’s

“We saw you across the battlefield and your raw violence, elegant precision and desperate determination has enthralled us”

Concept: individual gets "rescued" from hive mind, their body and identity warped and unrecognizable. They struggle to reintigrate into society, to conform to the expectations of their friends/family/colleagues. Everything feels wrong and they can't figure out why they want to go back.

Thinking about being TF141’s hybrid and getting sent out to help another team with a mission without any of your other pack teammates.

Thinking the captain of the loan team doesn’t like hybrids much.

Thinking about getting geared up for the mission and all your gear is at its normal length until the loan captain decides it’s too loose and tightens it until it’s uncomfortably digging into your skin. And when you voice that he shuts you down and tells you to shut up it’s for your safety. But it’s really not and it digs right into your inguinal crease (crease under the thighs) until you don’t notice it anymore. Getting back to base and being so sore and overwhelmed you go straight to your room instead of letting the team know you’re back.

I’m thinking it’s Ghost who notices first that your loan team is back and wonders why you haven’t let them know you’re back yet. Obviously he gets worried and goes looking for you eventually finding you face down on your bed still geared up. You’re unresponsive until he tries to roll you over which makes you cry out as the straps dig into your flesh more. He’s confused until he sees the dried blood around the straps mutilating you.

He’s mad.

He carries you to Prices office despite your protests. Mostly because the movement causes more pain.

He only stays in Price’s office long enough to show him what happened then he’s storming out to let off some steam (he goes to the gym and beats the shit out of a punching bag)

Thinking about half sitting half laying on Price’s lap while he comforts you and tries to hold you still and Soap surgically cuts and peels off pieces of the strap because it was so deep there was no other way to remove it. Ghost sits on the couch watching. Him and Soap want to jump the team that did this to you but Price put down his foot and told them they had to take care of your first.

Price eventually convincing Ghost to hold you so he could file paperwork against the other team while him and Soap are tending to you.

Ghost being the gentlest he’s ever been with you. Barely holding you down against his chest. Even when he nuzzles your neck to comfort you his touch is barely felt.

Gaz is not gonna be happy about this when he gets back from HIS loan mission :(

some of the whump prompts that are very dear to me:

character being so traumatized by the assault they went through that they’re not able to sleep properly and always jerking awake at every little noise, because they’re paranoid and scared that the people who hurt them will barge through the door and hurt them again

character being so exhausted, weak and wounded that they sleep like the dead, still and limp and are practically in a coma-like state. they are completely unaware of the presence of any other people in the room (maybe these people are doctors and nurses who are helping them, maybe they’re the people who have hurt them, or maybe they’re their loved ones making sure they’re safe and okay, but regardless they are so deep asleep that do not stir one bit)

Monsters are only what we make of them, when we write and cut a line around what it means to be a person.

Destiel fic idea (cause apparently there aren't enough)

Hallmark-esque movie style AU, where the Winchesters are farmers and have nothing supernatural ever going on. Sammy went off to pursue his dreams of becoming a lawyer in the city, and during the weeks to Christmas/New Year he goes home to visit Dean.

His boss/coworker, Castiel Novak, who's never really had family/close friends (a workaholic) is annoyed that he can't reach Sam but luckily found an address and goes to insist there's a case they need to work on.

Bonus points if Castiel finds Dean chopping wood shirtless in a barn during a snowy day/night.

If anyone has seen fics like this already please drop their name below 💜 and feel free to write this, I'd love to be tagged though for reading interest and credit.
