notes: feel free to mix and match prompts and ignore sections of them at will. anything referencing a book/film/anime au is only meant to be an illustration of a concept, you do NOT have to read or watch it at all and feel free to write whatever - it's just meant to be the spark of an idea.
1. OPEN OPTION: Do you have any favourite aus or wips lying around that you'd like to finish? HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! I would be absolutely overjoyed to be surprised with your pet project. Carte blanche! (as long as you don't include anything from my will not read list. ^^

2. inspired by the anime Dennou Coil PLEASE DEVIATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE/EXTENSIVELY
person a is moving to a new town and falls in with persons b, c, d etc. It's set in the future, where everyone wears glasses to be able to see the digital pseudo-reality layered over everything. But there are urban legends of being able to forge a connection to close to the glasses, the danger of being trapped in the digital world. Person b's friend died last year, ruled a accident caused by a lapse of judgement on her part, excessive use of digital reality, and the group of friends wants to get to the bottom of the case.
bonus: kid au would be fun but anything else is great too

4. inspired by The Magicians (trilogy) PLEASE DEVIATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE/EXTENSIVELY

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

“Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else.

18.Halsey - Hurricane
mini heart tattoo (photo)
I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please
―Charlotte Eriksson
19. Zola Jesus - skin song lyrics
open interpretation, maybe a Romeo and Juliet theme like this or this
20. When person a is young (a uni student or something) he meets an older person (person b) and falls in love. They have a beautiful relationship until the older person suddenly dies (they were quite old but not THAT old). Although his friends tell him to move on, person a can never quite get over it, though he's not bitter, he just lives a quiet but happy life with friends and his work and it's enough until he meets another uni student, much like himself in the past, and finds himself falling in love...but this time he's scared, remembering what happened last time.
21. NELL the day before mv lyrics
Prompt idea: Person a is a documentary filmmaker tasked to film person b's life story.
Note: please take the mv/song/lyrics/book sections, discard which ever parts you don't want and run with the rest. Feel free to disregard the prompt idea above as well
Note: in the mv a clear liquid is poured into the coffee. Just to clarify, most coffee shops in Korea provide simple syrup as sweetener. This is NOT necessarily poison.
Note: Lee Minki's character in the mv is reading a book: John Berger's And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos (1984). The camera zooms up on the first parts of section 1 (below), the other sections are other pages that show up briefly in the mv.
# section 1
3. Leaving
pain
cannot
endure long enough
tracks vanish
under snow
the white embrace
of leaving
I have tried to write the truth on trains
without an ear
the tongue takes fright
clings to a single word
the train is crossing a bridge
black ice collects
on each letter
SAVA
my river
# section 2
We woke up in a friend's house where there was a piano. We had slept on a mattress on the floor. The piano was in the room below. The two children of the house were playing an exercise before going to school. An exercise for four hands. Sometimes they stumbled and began the phrase again. If ours were the eighteenth century, when questions opened idly like doors onto gardens, I might ask you: Do you remember? But in our century, when only evil and indifference are limitless, we cannot afford unnecessary questions; rather, we need to defend ourselves with whatever there is to hand of certainty. I know that you remember. The two children were playing lightly and dutifully and the notes filled the house. You were lying with your back to me, your breasts in my hands. Neither of us stirred. The music commanded a little listening and we listened—just as one can gaze at the wallpaper in a hotel room without really looking at it. Waking up to that music played lightly and dutifully by the children before going to school was the nearest we shall ever be, my heart, to waking up at home before we left.
# section 3
A VIEW OF DELFT
In that town,
across the water
where all has been seen
and the bricks are cherished like sparrows,
in that town like a letter from home
read again and again in a port,
in that town with its library of tiles
and its addresses recalled by Johannes Vermeer
who died in debt,
in that town across the water
where the dead take the census
and there are no vacant rooms
for his gaze occupies them all,
where the sky is waiting
to have news of a birth,
in that town which pours from the eyes
of those who left it,
there
between two chimes of the morning,
when fish are sold in the square
and the maps on the walls
show the depth of the sea,
in that town
I am preparing for your arrival.
# section 4
What reconciles me to my own death more than anything else is the image of a place: a place where your bones and mine are buried, thrown, uncovered, together. They are strewn there pell-mell. One of your ribs leans against my skull. A metacarpal of my left hand lies inside your pelvis. (Against my broken ribs your breast like a flower.) The hundred bones of our feet are scattered like gravel. It is strange that this image of our proximity, concerning as it does mere phosphate of calcium, should bestow a sense of peace. Yet it does. With you I can imagine a place where to be phosphate of calcium is enough.
