Hunted by @average-xmendrawings

Goodnight and Billy don’t come out on top in every fight. Sometimes, to flee the field and chalk the battle up to experience is the best option. But some grudge-bearing sons-of-bitches just have to push the issue…

(I removed some of the more general/broader prompts, as well as the specific but smutty prompt)

Comments in italics are comments I am adding now

Prompt 1: Billy/Goody arranged marriage

If that is too broad general and you want more to go on I have two possible options.

They are arranged to marry each other with a quite long engagement period. (Since you can chose for yourself which of them take which role in this scenario I will call them A and B) They meet and A falls instantly for B. But B has been against getting married and expresses as much to someone else but A overhears (possibly even B meant for them to overhear?) and crushed accepts that they will have to accept a loveless marriage. As they get to know each other B starts to fall for A but A still believes its a one-sided thing and B doesnt know how to convince him its real and not pity or an act they’ve been forced into. (Can be fantasy-esque, historical (I’m a sucker for victorian era), maybe even modern au?) (I never finished the untamed, but I did watch quite a lot of it, and I do admit there was a storyline there that sooooort of might have influenced this one, a tiny bit)

gang/mob au combined with arranged marriage. Billy and Goody’s respective parents are gang leaders and their families have a long bloody feud. But to combat a new strong gang they need to combine forces and for this they need an excuse, so they decide to marry their youngest children to one another to symbolically join their gangs together. (have I written a ficlet with this exact premise? Yes. I found it a couple of months back and thought “man I wish the writer would finish this.” Unfortunately I am the writer, so I thought I could unload it on someone else.)

These two ideas could probably be combined if you so wish, or pick one or another. Modify them as per your own wishes.

Prompt 2: Reverse “pretending to be a couple”-trope. For some reason Billy and Goody have to pretend to not be married, and they are terrible at it. (The reason for why they have to pretend should not be tied to “having to hide that they are queer due to homophobia”. Maybe they are spies or something where they have missions and due to the mission they have to pretend.)

Prompt 3: Masterchef(or cooking show of your choice) chef AU. Billy and Emma are friends from culinary school and both enter a cooking competition where they have this joking rivalry going on. Lots of snark and banter and they are definitely not serious about their threats to each other, because friends. Also one of the judges is this French-Cajun chef Goodnight Robicheaux and Billy flirts shamelessly and blatantly with him whenever Goody is near making him super flustered and blushing. (Look, yes, I may have written a drabble with this as premise. But what am I gonna use these wishes for if not to wish someone else will write my ideas for me?)

Prompt 4: Art (or short fic prompt?): Billy Rocks wearing high heels and a suit, or naked except for the shoes.

[If anyone else wants to do this, I suggest we all use the tag #Mag7winterprompts so those who want to pick up one or more can find them easily.]

Prompts:

I’d be very happy with art, fic or anything else, and I’d like something that includes Billy/Goodnight, though I don’t mind whether it’s relationship-focused or a general or ensemble work. Here are a few ideas:

Any kind of space or sci-fi AU (especially the Firefly AU the fandom is still so sorely missing). Show me new planets and aliens and the Seven boldly going to right wrongs!

Chief of Police Billy is married to softly-spoken mob boss Goodnight (relates to tumblr post at https://fontainebleau22.tumblr.com/post/188566185804/someone-write-this-please-even-better-if-they-are )

Quarantine fic, either modern AU of Billy and Goody falling in love in lockdown (OMG they were Zoommates! - I know there was a post about this too, but I can’t immediately find it); or a canon-era quarantine fic where all seven come across a case of smallpox or yellow fever and have to quarantine together, with all the annoyances that entails.

Are you okay with making NSFW: Yes Are you okay with receiving NSFW: Yes What do you want to receive: Either Billy/Goodnight shipfic or ensemble genfic with established Billy/Goodnight. I prefer happy endings.

Mag7 Swagbag Challenge: July!

Another month, another bag of prompts - are you brave enough to open it up and stick a hand inside?

1. Character prompt: write a fic or make an artwork focusing on one or more of the women in Rose Creek (canon characters or OCs).

2. Theme prompt: ‘Surrender’.

3. Format prompt: Remix an existing fanwork (a remix presents the same story in a different way, e.g. from a different perspective, by changing one significant element, or by foregrounding a different aspect of the story. Prequels and sequels are not considered remixes).

4. AU prompt: write or draw a crossover with another fandom

5. Sentence prompt: “Beyond expectation, beyond hope, beyond reason…”

What’s in the bag for June?

We have eight Swagbag works this month, and another full house of prompt fills!

1. Character prompt: Write a fic from the point of view of an inanimate object, or make artwork celebrating the role of an inanimate object.

Let The World Come At You Love - QuickSilverFox3

Billy looked to the ocean, the ashes of his home and his family covering him like a second skin, and heard the siren song once more. He picked himself up from the ground, the world around him no longer certain, heart hardened to stone, and began to walk. - Billy follows the song, and finds his knives, and a surprise at the end.

The Dancing-Place - Fontainebleau

I lived a lifetime, and I am grateful for that. Even the greatest of cities must be born to a small beginning, no more than a huddle of huts behind a wooden palisade or a camp of tents on a foreign shore, and no city at its start can know its own destiny.

Happiness is a Warm Gun - dancinbutterfly, FiliTheLionKing

Only things that can kill, can speak.

2. Theme prompt: ‘Role reversal’.

Beggars Can’t Be Choosers - QuickSilverFox3

Sam has a cunning plan, and he knows exactly who to unleash it on. - Joshua only shrugged, shit-eating grin plastered reflexively onto his face, slipping only slightly in the face of Billy’s glare.

“If you die, mon cher,” Goodnight pressed a kiss to Billy’s free hand, “I have poetry ready and prepared.”

3. Format prompt: Letter or Diary format

When The Edge Falls - mysticalninjakoala

…I know this is sudden Mon Cher, but I think I’ve reached my peak. My heart and body can no longer go on with this. Not without losing some of my soul in it, and I’m really not sure there’s still any of it left…

Notes Passing In The Night - QuickSilverFox3

A collection of notes, reports and letters following the Battle of Rose Creek and the developing relationship between four unlikely companions.

4. AU prompt: Steampunk AU

To Get Him Back - QuickSilverFox3

Emma Cullen knows what she needs to do, and she’ll do whatever it takes to succeed.

5. Sentence prompt: “No. You cross that line and we’re done.”

Take What’s Broken (Make It Whole) -  QuickSilverFox3

“No. You cross that line and we’re done.”

Faraday paused, eyes — aching with every blink, a dull thrum reverberating through his head — slowly moving from the screen to stare at Vasquez. The other man refused to meet his gaze, jaw clenched tight enough that Faraday winced in sympathy, nails rasping over his stubble. - Vasquez and Faraday play Animal Crossing, and talk.

3 hours later.

100% not obsessed.

At all.
