Photograph with added text: Working Together, at Fancake. Workers in India use wide wooden paddles with long handles to shove a huge yard of drying grains into big piles. The grain, most likely rice, is a beautiful golden color, and there's a mix of western and traditional clothing among the seven men and women.

Our theme for July is working together!

This round is for fanworks that feature characters working together to achieve a common goal or—and this is not necessarily the same thing—fanworks set in the workplace.

The tag for this round is: theme: working together

If you're just joining us, be sure to check out our policy on content notes. Content notes aren't required, but they're nice to include in your recs, especially if a fanwork has untagged content that readers may wish to know about in advance.

Kiss of the Vampire

Vampires tend to have a lot of sex appeal. It may be because evil is sexy for some, but not all vampires are evil, so maybe it's because they're bad boys or sultry femme fatales. Maybe people just figure hundreds of years of practice at lovemaking makes vampires really, really good at it. On the other hand, the bloodsucking may be a great fetish source, something about a quick sting of pain followed by pleasure.

When a vampire is hungry and isn't quite so decent or hard up as to lower himself to only buying blood at the butcher's or trapping and draining small animals instead, their dietary supplement of preference is human blood. However, vampires can make the experience of being a drink box not just bearable, but pleasurable for the donor.

( Text from these TVTropes articles. )

Roles
1. Vampire
2. Victim

Prompts
1. Willing - You're either a friend of a vampire offering up a quick bite...or you know what you like and that's being a giving person.
2. Unwilling - They want your blood, but you're not up to parting with it. Can you withstand the pleasure, however?
3. Fluffy - How can you make the hungry undead warm and sweet? They could just be jaded from all the cruelty they've seen or dealt out and want something different.
4. Romantic - Is it worse to be the prey of a vampire - or their lover? At least with the latter, they'll try to treat you gently.
5. Rough - The opposite of the above; this vampire couldn't care less about you and treats you like a slab of meat.
6. Dangerous - This is no kitten you're playing with. Remember, your life hangs in the balance if they sink their fangs too far...
7. Purely Sexual - Both of you are into a little bit of bloodplay. One of you just gets dinner on the side.

It's amazing how many beginnings, in stories and in life, are based on chance. A serendipitous encounter, a chance meeting, a happy accident -- life would be dull if it weren't for the curveballs flung by a playful universe. Just when you think you've got your life figured out -- splat! -- everything changes.

You may have just had a meet-cute, in which two potential romantic leads are thrown together in a contrived and atypical, oftentimes, but not always, over-the-top manner.

In short, the meet-cute is a solution to a perennial screenwriter's problem: "We have a love story between two main characters who will presumably bicker for 90 minutes and then fall in love in the last 10. If they're so dissimilar, how do we get them together in the first place?" If the meeting itself is kind of a joke (a chance collision, a mistaken identity, a hookup with a stranger who turns out to be your ex's lawyer the next day), it's a meet-cute.

We've had plenty of memes that deal with being in a relationship and even some that look at the ends of them, but here's one about the what-comes-before: the meeting!

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character and preferences.
Tag around.
Use the RNG to determine your prompt or just go with it.

PROMPTS

No Good Bad Day: Everything is going wrong. You've spilled coffee all over yourself, missed you bus, and things aren't looking up. And to add insult to injury, you've run into somebody! Shouldn't they look where they're going?
Is This Seat Taken?: The last seat on the bus/plane/carriage/dragon is next to a mysterious (or not so mysterious) stranger.
Table for Two: All the other tables are filled, so you're placed with someone else when you thought you'd be dining alone.
Love Hurts: You've accidentally fallen off of something, driven your car into a snowbank, or any other number of calamitous things. You're not badly hurt - though you may be dinged up - but you definitely need help. You need a good Samaritan.
Hope That Didn't Belong to Someone: You've accidentally ruined an item, and you have to meet the owner. Hope they won't be too mad...it wasn't really your fault!
Wait, Them?: You met someone earlier, didn't get on, only to learn later that the two of you will be working together in a close capacity. What can you do? Maybe you can ask for another partner...
No Rest and Relaxation: You're staying at a hotel or a cabin, only to realize that your room has been double booked. Well, you're not leaving. The other person will just have to!
They're After Me: You were having such a peaceful day before that asshole came running by, being chased by the [insert authority figures here]. Why'd they have to pull you into it?
Saved: ...or the shoe's on the other foot, and they've saved you from danger. Doesn't mean you have to like them, though.
Thought You Were Someone Else: You never forget a face- except when you do. Or think the face is someone else's. Maybe someone you cared for...
Arranged Marriage: You've never met this person, but you hope you like them, for the good of your...oh, DAMN IT. You hate their guts.
Ooops, I Did It Again: You totally didn't mean to run over that guy or hit her over the head with a frying pan. You're not heartless enough to not nurse them back to health, right?
I Have a Proposition: You're not keen on each other, but you're working together for your own purposes. But at least feelings won't get in the way...nope.

SUPERNATURAL BOND Meme

Fated mates. Demon and summoner. A pair of magical warriors, reliant on each other. Guardian angel and their charge. A ghost and the living person they haunt. Vampire and prey. Sorcerer and familiar. Sometimes parasitic, always deep to the marrow, a supernatural bond takes more than the weapons of man to sever.

RULES
○ Comment with your character, info, ideas, and any preferred role. The more to work off of, the better.
○ Tag.
○ Receive some juicy codependency for your troubles.

preferences or comfort zone!

Kaiju Outbreak!

Time: Day, Location: The City! Or the outskirts of the city, which, depending on the scenario chosen, may be heavily damaged, completely destroyed, or only slightly smashed up. However it is not by nuclear or bio weapons, disease or even war -- technically. No, instead it's because it's currently in the path of -- in most cases -- vicious, mostly sentient kaiju, who are more concerned with beating their opponent and declaring themselves victor supreme than worrying about squishy two leggers running around. Of course in other, rarer cases it could simply be because the city is small and they are way too big and clumsy. The threat level of these kaiju range from Godzilla verses Mothra to Clifford the Big Red Dog. Who technically may or may not be a kaiju but for this case he is.

HOW TO PLAY

➤

Tag in with a top level - I can't police blank ones, but gently suggest at least noting which scenario you're interested in

➤

Tag around to others! Make friends! Make enemies!

➤

Feel free to make use of the prompt ideas provided, mix and match them or make your own!

HOW TO PLAY PROMPTS

A-1

The Stealthy, Survior's Route Time to roll a 20 on your stealth and survival skills here, because you're running low on supplies - both first aid and food. There's a whole city out there though, so you might be lucky enough to find something that'll help you last throughout this latest disaster. Keep out of sight of the kaiju and you might live through this one!

A-2

Run for your life! Ohshit Oshit Oshit one of the kaiju saw you and is currently hunting you. You're barely a mouthful, but it doesn't care - find somewhere to hide, quick!!

A-3

Take 'em Down! Pah, This Kaiju is nothing! You can take him! You have a giant robot/super powers/GOD on your side! He/she/it has been stomping around your territory for too long - get out there and show him who's boss and save someone while you're at it!

B-1

Nope Nope Nope! Get the fuck out of dodge so you don't become a statistic; Or you can just say "fuck it, I don't get paid enough for this" and go to the movies!

B-2

The Greedy, er, Opportunistic Option! Wait it out somewhere safe and recover whatever got knocked over/uprooted/washed away to return it to their original owner or sell it for money honey!

B-3

Someone needs a hero! Help evacuation! Mind falling buildings, shockwaves from the impact of the falling kaiju and in the beach scenarios, try not to drown; Rescue anyone in need, whether someone's pinned under debris, trapped somewhere, etc.

C-1

Let's at least TRY to fix things M..maybe try to get the A.O.U.S (Animals of Unusual Size) back to normal size, either with magic or by brewing up an antidote. And for the love of cheese let's not make it WORSE. (Or do, could be fun!)

C-2

But do we Let Sleeping Cats lie? Trying to get to work/get home/do errands? Well now you have the additional issue of cats using cars as toys or lying in the middle of the crosswalk, birds thinking the cars are bugs, and dogs just derping around. How's your defensive driving?

C-3

They DO move in herds! Screw it, we're opening Jurassic Bark as a petting zoo. Go ride a dog! Snooze on a cat! Parachute from a Parakeet!

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!

o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

Name: Val

Age: 47

I mostly post about: Being Gen-X, Canadian, ramblings of day to day life, my mental health, sometimes the state of the world (though I try to keep that to a minimum), what I'm currently reading, Nelson shenanigans (my cat)

My hobbies are: I knit and crochet; writing, watching movies/television (mostly drama and British telly), reading, 'cozy' colouring with alcohol markers, music (love to listen to new things)

My fandoms are: I used to be very into fandoms 10 or so years ago, but not so much anymore. It can be exhausting.

I'm looking to meet people who: above all, are kind. 20+ of age, and have some interests in common. It would be ideal if you like to comment on entries.

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for daily, but likely a few times a week. I'm journaling again at the suggestion of my therapist.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: the usual: racism, anti-LGBTQIA+. I used to be a big Harry Potter fan, but no longer and I generally stay away from those who still embrace the fandom, JKR, and the books/movies.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a very kind and sensitive person and try to be thoughtful and respectful when commenting on others entries, so I hope to receive the same in return. Also, I have an odd sense of humour and I use "LOL" and "<3" a lot.

Fandom: Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers
Characters/Pairings: Harriet Vane & Mary Wimsey
Rating: Gen
Length: 1951
Creator Links: Beatrice_Otter on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Female friendship, Female characters

Summary: "I was complaining to my brother about how few friends I had, and he suggested that you might be an interesting person to know."

After Harriet is exonerated, she and Mary Wimsey meet for tea.

Reccer's Notes: A lovely, quietly perceptive story about two slightly lonely women finding commonalities and starting to become friends - one of Lord Peter's more successful machinations. It's beautifully written and the author's note at the end is interesting if you're a fan of the Wimsey books.

i love you, but...

1. Post your character's own riff on the sentence "I love you, but..." in the subject line. What's their hangup?

2. Tags come in the form of folks replying as if they're being confessed to! What will they argue in return?

3. Thread!.

GREEN FLAGS meme

It's not all doom and gloom all the time. Don't beat yourself up! You are a total catch.

how to play
- forget what you think you know about memes.
- forget the traditional subject line. no prefs. no character info.
- verbalize the green flag(s) that would make your character the perfect partner.

the rain meme

Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with. It waters the garden for free and ruins baseball games. It cools you off in the summer and it causes more ice and sleet to appear in the winter. Sometimes it is lovely and falls at a decent pace for a few hours, other times, it blasts the whole eastern seaboard away.

Poems and songs have been written about it, people have danced in it, others have cursed its entire existence, and still more refuse to go out and drive in it.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.

directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RNG for an intensity.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RNG for a situation.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Don’t catch a cold!
