Prompts! Glorious prompts!

[balsamandash]

I am stealing this shamelessly from a tumblr prompt list: There are 50 75 A Softer World prompts under the cut (because I added 25 more of my favorites). Leave me a number + a character/ship/fandom/original verse/whatever and I'll write a thing.

I... think most of the worst content notes are avoided, but it IS ASW, so there might be some black humor or dark themes that snuck in here and there that I'm just too tired to notice. I may ignore any really ridiculous alt-text (the parentheses in each prompt, if you don't know ASW). Or not. It depends on what the prompt's for and what mood I'm in.

1. Our love is a forest fire and we are the little things that live in the trees. (Today is the most exciting day of our lives.)
   
2. At my worst, I worry you’ll realize you deserve better. At my best, I worry you won’t. (I’ve never been better.)

9. CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP NOT SURE HOW TO STOP (WHY STOP)
   
10. When you touch me, my mind is gone. The only words I know are lost inside your body. (right in there.)
    
11. hey, i’m liking your photos at 2am because i want to make out. i’m texting you at noon because i want to make out. i woke up today because i (we don’t need words)
    
12. It’s a full moon. I bought some rope and handcuffs to bring to bed tonight. (beware the moon.)

14. I think I’ve got fireflies where my caution should be. (Instead of slowing down, I just shine brighter.)

23. We talk in the dark as we fall asleep, and we are objects in the night sky outside of time. (it is the exact opposite of alone.)

38. You are the love of my life so far. (Tomorrow’s just a day away.)

55. Some days are magic, and I can do anything. The other days, I just have to wait, and hope it comes back. (Waiting for time to run out.)
    
56. This is how breakups work. I will give you back your movies when you give me back my twenties. (I didn't mean money, but okay?)
    
57. It's not the end of the world. Well. I mean, yes, literally it is the end of the world, but moping doesn't help! (Who can be depressed when they have a flamethrower?)

69. I've decided what I want on my tombstone. "Loving Husband." Marry me? (Or would you rather be listed as cause of death?)
    
70. Missed Connection: Everybody, everywhere. I think I have spring fever. (I... I think I like it.)
    
71. You and I will never be a great love story. That's okay! Let's see what kind of story we'll be. (Oooh! Oooh! I hope it's science fiction!)
