Prompts from this post—Breaking the Rules, Pool

I struggled with this for weeks and then suddenly yesterday the rest of it just poured out. I don’t know how good it is but thank you for the prompt, and happy birthday!

Sai was very sure they weren’t actually supposed to be here; it was well after midnight and the gates around the pool had all been locked. Neither were there any other patrons at the pool nor any lifeguard on duty, but Kankurou had assured him that he knew what he was doing so he followed without question, for now at least.

“C’mon.” Kankurou peeled off his shirt and dove in, so Sai followed suit.

He liked being in the water; the first cool-wet shock and the sense of semi-weightlessness were very pleasant, and the runnels and rivulets cascading over his skin as he surfaced were a sensory experience that he found invigorating.

Despite the desert cooling considerably at night Suna’s buildings still held the heat of the day, so when Kankurou suggested a midnight swim Sai had readily agreed, and it was in fact as refreshing as his boyfriend had promised.

He hadn’t expected they’d be breaking any rules to accomplish it, however.

I’m back and gathering all the fic prompts and memes that I can find here in one place. This collection is here for your convenience, for authors to have a central source for inspiration and interaction with readers/followers.

It’s your resource! So if you find memes or prompt lists you’d like to see included, let us know. Or, if you create a list, consider submitting.

Here are our guidelines for materials included on @ficmemes:

Must be multi-fandom/non-fandom-specific

No overtly offensive content (abuse, slurs, hate)

Nsfw content will be tagged, please blacklist/block accordingly

No links to personal askboxes (users can add this later if they want)

Diversity welcome! OTP prompts are great, but we also want to be inclusive to many different authors and fic styles

Reblog, don’t repost. Content generated and posted by another user should always be reblogged--credit where credit is due! And, of course, we’ll credit any submissions

Prompts from this post—Weight of the World, Good Enough

Hakkai sighed, leaning gently against Jiipu while the little dragon dozed in vehicle form, faint purring noises emanating from under his hood. Hakkai wished he could rest as easily, with as little apparent care, but—

The sound of a lighter interrupted his thoughts and Gojyo settled next to him, face downturned and cigarette dangling from his lips as the flame caught. Gojyo drew in a breath, pocketing the lighter and blowing a thin veil of smoke into the still morning air.

“Oi. What’s got you lookin’ all thinky this early, eh?”

Hakkai tipped his head back, taking in the soft color of the sky, letting Gojyo burn down his cigarette a long moment before finally offering an answer by way of his own question.

“How long have we been on this journey, do you suppose?”

“Fuck if I know?” Gojyo rolled his lanky shoulders in a shrug, long red hair spilling forward with the movement. “Too damn long, how about.”

“Mmh.” Hakkai crossed his arms, tilted his gaze toward Gojyo. “Too long, yet not long enough it would seem, as we’ve yet to reach our destination.” He sighed again, straightened up. “The fate of the world hanging in the balance, by all accounts, but the four of us with all our…baggage—we’re meant to save it. Sooner or later.”

“S’what I keep hearin’, yeah.”

“Hardly the most sensible option, wouldn’t you say? Surely there are trained scholars and warriors better suited to stop whatever is happening in India.”

“Betcha they could get there faster‘n our sorry asses, too.” Gojyo took another long drag.

Hakkai sighed again. “Sometimes, then…I don’t wish to question the workings of the divine. But I can’t help wondering why the Sanbutsushin, in their infinite wisdom, decided that we should be the best choice to accomplish the task.”

“Anh, well.” Gojyo drew on his cigarette one last time and flicked the butt into the dirt, crushed it absently under his heel; still leaning on Jiipu’s hood, he slid over until he could bump his hip comfortably against Hakkai’s. “Somethin’ I’ve picked up ‘round the card tables over the years: you don’t always gotta be the Best.” He draped an arm over Hakkai’s shoulders, tilted his head and touched his temple briefly to Hakkai’s. “Sometimes you just gotta be Good Enough.”

Hakkai let that sink in, soaking in the warmth of Gojyo’s body alongside his and Gojyo’s casual arm around him, pondering that simple yet profound wisdom; after a moment he allowed himself a tiny laugh, looking back up at the sky which had grown the littlest bit brighter blue in the interim.
