Your heart was glass, I dropped it

The half-circles are called zaï! They're a traditional farming practice in the Sahel desert, and their introduction + reintroduction can be largely credited to Yacouba Sawadogo, the man linked above! He reintroduced and innovated on the zaï on his own farm in the 1980s, and did extensive outreach (along with scientist Mathieu Ouédraogo) to encourage other farmers to adopt them as well.

He also promoted the use of cordons pierreux, which are basically just lines of rocks to reduce erosion, preserve sediments, and increase water absorption.

Trying something new: I'm using a randomizer to give me tropes or AUs from the two lists down below and I write a prompt list for the combined themes.

Their agency makes them pose as a young couple with a house and a dog, ready to start their family. But each of them have a different assignment and they take very good care not to expose their assignment to the other assassin.

Being an assassin doesn't leave much room for a healthy social life. However, because having a loving family in a nice neighbourhood makes for great cover, two assassins decide to start a fake family together.

It's in the rules: they do not kill children. But when they both realize that their target is a small child, they make the decision to leave it all behind and raise the child together far far away from their former lives.

They thought they did a good job of hiding their jobs from their children. But in reality their kids figured it out years ago and they are actually very helpful in covering for their parents.

A child calls a number to find fake parents to take them to their teacher because their own parents don't care about them. It's a number for hiring hitmen, but they're free today anyway, so who wouldn't help a child?

"We're assassins, not babysitters!" "Are you scared of having to keep something alive instead of killing it for once?"

"I get why the agency loves you so much. You're very good at faking it." "Oh am I?"
