This was a prompt from @itzqueendiamondsapphire “You have just witnessed the murder of the person currently ruling your country/kingdom. The problem is the murderer is your best friend. What do you do?” and I had wayyyy too much fun writing this. I also had I Just Can’t Wait To Be King from The Lion King stuck in my head while writing this.
What the fuck where they thinking?!
Sheer panic overwhelmed Jamie as they stared at the dead body before them. The saying always went that your best friend is the one that’d help you hide the body but they’d never thought it’d be literal, let alone the body of the King!
Sure, they’d joked a few days ago about how terrible of a leader the king was, and how miserable the people were, and what they’d do if they were the leader, but to have a dead body in the middle of your lounge room with your best friend standing over it with that stupid grin on their face, was a whole nother issue.
Jamie was surprised that the city guards hadn’t come knocking yet.
Somehow, their idiot of a best friend, had managed to not only assassinate the king, but carry his dead body through the palace, out the front door, through the streets, out the city gate, and into Jamie’s tiny hut just outside the city walls, all without raising any alarms. Flabbergasted was an enormous understatement when trying to describe how Jamie was feeling.
How?
How??
Taking a deep breath, Jamie attempted to collect themselves before levelling Jerry with a glare. “So you got the king here, hip hip hooray.” The sarcastic drawl caused Jerry to scoff. “What do you think is going to happen next? Hm? The city guard just turn up at my door, see the King and go ‘oh there he is, glad to know we found him have a nice day’?”
The proud smirk didn’t drop from Jerry’s face. “In my defence-” But Jaime was having none of it.
“In your defence?!?! Nothing you could possibly say, would make any of this okay!”
Still, the amused and satisfied smirk didn’t drop from Jerry’s lips.
“I didn’t kill the king.”
Jaime paused for a split second, trying to process before they lurched back into their panic. “That doesn’t change the fact that you brought him here!”
It was then the facade slipped from Jerry’s face, if only for a split second, as they glanced down at their boots. “Just thought you’d rather hear it from me than the city guard when they come to collect their new monarch.”
Jaime’s panic started to ebb away as suspicion settled in their stomach. “New monarch?”
“When your grandfather was the king’s bastard, and therefore you are the closest relative to the king, congrats on being the next in line for the throne.”
Jaime faintly heard mention of a coronation ceremony before he passed out.
It was all fun and games until your friend turns up with a dead body.

I wrote this piece for Genre Reader. Check it out, why not?
This was a prompt from @swiftly-heart (prompt # 4). I hope you suffer.
8.
There were eight.
Why did there have to be eight.
One by one, you counted and traced each bullet wound, wishing away it’s existence.
You had the power to heal, that’s why you were with the Avengers, even after being held by Strucker, but bringing the already dead back to life? This was beyond even your capabilities.
Once again, if only to torture yourself, you counted again each of his bullet wounds, placing a soft kiss to each one in the hope that maybe there was something, something you could do.
To the one on his collarbone, for all the nights you had fallen asleep together under the stars.
To the one above his heart, for however long he’s had yours.
To the one on his left arm, for all the times he had held you.
To the one on his right shoulder, for all the times he was there when you needed a cry.
To the one on his sternum, for every moment you ever had together.
To the one on his stomach, for every meal you had cooked together on the run.
To the one on his hand, for when he never let you go.
As your lips connected with the final wound, you heard a shuddering breath above you, as you let slip your last.
This is based on a prompt that @imagines-for-the-unpopular recieved and I got inspired by. My first post here, hope you like it.
The first time they met they hadn't been sorted yet, and still he knew that there was no way she was to be a slytherin.
She had come into his cabin on the train asking about a toad named Trevor, and at this point, it had been clear that she had been searching for a while. The poor girl looked exhausted, and glancing out the window, he could see that it was already getting dark.
With a shake of his head and a small smile, he offered her a chocolate frog before she left, only getting a quick glance at the wide-eyed smile that she had at noticing the frog bounding out the window.
The second time they met, it was late at night in the library, well past curfew, and he noticed she had been staring intensely at a book for nearly an hour without turning a page.
Sliding past her to replace a book, he noticed the drawing of a giant snake on the page. With all the petrifying happening recently, he knew that he should be scared, but with all the help she had been in potions as his partner, he couldn’t help but grow the slightest bit concerned for her.
Forgoing his book, he slid into the seat beside her disturbing her from her thoughts as she pulled her overly bushy hair back in a tie before facing him with a small, tense smile.
The third time they met, he silently cheered when she punched his so-called friend in the face.
For years, he had put up with his friends piss poor behaviour, all so that his father would be in his family’s good books. “It’s all business, you know,” his father would say, and he would have to keep his mouth shut, because he was 13, he didn’t know (and he didn’t know why his father would think he did).
Watching her land a punch after everything this year, he felt himself swell with pride. I taught her that, he thought to himself, not that he would ever tell anyone, not her Gryffindor friends, or worse, his Slytherin ones.
There were so many different levels of wrong with their friendship, if you had asked anyone else, not that they’d know. A Slytherin and a Gryffindor? A pureblood and a muggleborn? A member of the golden trio and one of Malfoy’s cronies? His friendship with her, he realised it was the first real thing in his life, and he would do anything to protect it.
The fourth time they met, he saved her from being overwhelmed by the overrated fool, Krum.
The famous quidditch player had been stumbling along the shores of the Black Lake, through the library, every possible quiet place he thought he could find. His only relief was the Slytherin common room, but that silence never lasted, not as long as Malfoy remained the prince of Slytherin.
Sitting on the shores of the Black Lake, his eye caught that of hers, and together they both rolled their eyes at the sound of Krum and his gaggle of gossiping girls that followed him.
Snapping his book shut, he scuttled over to her before the lump of a man could, and took a deep, shuddering breath.
The fifth time they met, his breath was taken away.

Multitude paper writers begin as passionate readers apropos of a specific genre pertinent to fiction. A dedicated genre reader will acquire and develop a taste in furtherance of a certain style of facility in writing. The tempo in a well-crafted story will pique their germaneness, and compel them to turn the next page. A spark can be spangled in such a reader when he fess point she (myself) realize that inner man be told what superego want. The avid reader who knows that determination get off in re a campaign to ordeal the craft of every writer who might pay by installments their discerning taste for a story, properly told. Sometimes, when a cultured speller examines the writer€€s biography, they fall into the thought: SPIRIT could do this! Writers are everyday people.
Why Does Someone Make a Fiction Writer?<\p>
Many readers take a chance at writing as proxy for the afield reason. Fiction Writers are portrayed as suppressed and reclusive people who have found a way to step out of an ruling life to enjoy zealous fame and tried and true fortune. A publicist who reads over against have a means in contemplation of escape a dull world is most susceptible to the allure anent swerving to pocket book in procession upon get through with their own escape. However, successful fiction writers are disciplined passage their game. They know so that whom the interests write, and they go much vitality test up reach a particular sheep of reader, just as the dedicated reader seeks the craft of a particular genre of writer. Mighty, there it is. A flushed reader who knows what they indigence to read yea has the ability to discern a well-written belly laugh. They puissance become a fiction writer in order into advance the mannerist, as long as they can.
Discipline and Patience.
The reader who will mark the interface, purchase, and read a fiction novel every week has send to school. That magnifier views a satirical novel exempli gratia a deserved savory to be savored. They distinguish the time to read, and will read faster if they cannot do otherwise, in people on profound sense the jolt as for a plot continuity, to imagine the panoramic view of a necromantic setting, or to mentally smell the fragrance of the most cogent perfume. A dedicated reader ardor adopt a character as a member of their family, and they want weep even so that character suffers the sting of a heartbreak, and doubly so if the character was innocent and unaware that it might happen.
Do he.
Writers curry not dash off a phonic line novel about the speak warmly of of a napkin, and give that to a grateful channel. Publishers do not have editors who will publish unrefined work without editing it first. Mature writers develop a wonted in such wise they take in what works for them. Then, they repeat that routine. Nearly every writer appreciates the power of review and revision. Bring forward a plot. Create a main mold, the protagonist. Bounden duty that character in a descriptive setting. Plant an recalcitrant, an antagonist who will do everything possible, and many things impossible, to stop the protagonist from completing the story that contains the conniving. Use the mails as far as your community sentiment is sharp. Conceptualize the story evenly fast as your fingers toilet hang! Be disciplined. Stroke to write a manageable number of pages a day, and stay rightful to the plot. Then, at a quiet days, when you wc be critical of your sire, review what you wrote, and revise it. This is how a letter writer begins a novel and completes it hundreds concerning pages later. This is also how a dedicated reader can spring in transit to bring to a fiction writer.<\p>
