IT IS TIME AGAIN!

🌸🍀 Hello and welcome to our (first) Flufftober Spring Edition 🌸🍀

SURPRISE 😁

Yes, we've decided that one month of the year simply isn't enough anymore! So we would like to fill two weeks in March with as much fluff as possible 🥰 for that to happen, we present you with 14 prompts, some of them neutral, some very much sping-themed.

How does this work?

Pretty much like our regular Flufftober event in October, so you'll find all the common rules and info below the cut. Contrary to the big event though, this one here only runs for two weeks instead of the entire month, and we set the date from March 11th to March 24th! So prompt one is NOT supposed to be posted on March 1st but instead on March 11th! Prompt two is for March 12th, prompt 3 for March 13th, and so on...

Since this is a smaller prompt list, you also won't find any prompt extras to switch these out with, sorry. Maaaybe if this event is a success, we'll think about changing that in upcoming years 😉

Below the cut, you'll find all our rules, posting info, and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us asks 🥰

Friends, we so hope you love this surprise and that the prompts may inspire a lot of fluffy creations! We wish you a great start to the new year and as always

Happy Creating 🥳

Standard Blog Rules & FAQ

(Due to previous asks, we made sure to add more points to this section - while they're not new rules, they're new to this list, so you'll find them colored green)

No inc*st or p*dophilia - we can’t keep you from writing it or creating art for it but it won’t be reblogged. No inc*st: This rule does not apply to distant cousins and such, as you might find in the LotR fandom (or basically in all of European Monarchy). The line we draw is at direct blood relations (siblings, (grand)parents, kids) and/or legal guardianship. No p*dophilia: This rule does not rule out fandoms that feature teenagers such as Harry Potter, Heartstoppers, Hunger Games, etc. It also doesn't mean you can't write about their time together as teenagers! It's aimed at ships in which one is a minor and the other is not - but since even that has grey areas, the rule is this: if you keep it SFW, all is good and allowed, we don't care; if it turns NSFW, be mindful of the legalities of the world/society/times your characters live in.

No hate or ship bashing - we’re all different and we all love different things. As long as it doesn’t go against rule #1, it’s allowed.

Tag correctly! Trigger warnings (including cheating!), ships, ratings, (pure) smut, etc - it’s all fine as long as you tag it.

There’s absolutely no word count restriction, write as little or as much as you like.

In regards to art, anything goes: drawings, paintings, collages, mood boards, gif sets, videos, playlists… the sky’s the limit (though not really…). If you would like to create a podfic, the fic you're using does not have to be new - your creation will be new!

You can mix and mash different mediums however you like, be it within one prompt or on different days.

While we can’t force you to write fluff or create fluffy art, please try to keep in mind that this is a fluff event 😉 that, of course, doesn't mean you can't combine it with angsty/whumpy prompts - hurt/comfort is absolutely welcome!

You can start creating as soon as you see this - but please refrain from posting before the respective day.

If you post early, we will schedule your post for the correct day; if you use multiple prompts in one creation, we will post on the earliest day you used.

You can participate on as many days as you like, even if it’s just one; you can also create multiple entries for the same day.

You can replace as many original prompts as you like with our prompt extras; you can also combine them with the original prompts or create for them in addition, that's completely up to you.

It’s okay to write one story/a series for all the prompts.

You do not have to stick to one character, ship, or even one fandom - switch as often as you like to or even write for multiple ships for one day.

The ship does not have to be a romantic one! Friendship and family feels are more than welcome (but this is not a way to get around rule #1!)

Original works as well as OCs in fandoms are welcome! But please make sure to mark these clearly, either in the tags or the post itself. We're not familiar with all fandoms (though we're definitely learning a lot!), so we're not always sure what might be an OC and what might be such an unknown side character not even Google can find them...

Reader insert fics (for example "character x reader") as well as RPFs are absolutely allowed.

Other languages are also welcome - just make sure to clearly mark the day and fandom so that we can still easily reblog.

This event can be combined with other events as long as the other event allows it.

Late entries are always welcome, even if it is months or years later.

All fandoms and ships are welcome - fanon and canon - as long as they’re of age (in case you want to add smut) and not related.

First & Last Lines

Rules: post the first and last lines of the last 10 fics you posted.

Thank you for tagging me @auofgoldandfantasies !

I'm skipping Podfics for this. Also a fair warning, I did a dump of Oneshots I found, so there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to what I've posted recently and there is some smut in between. Also I am realising there are some other warnings that I added next to the title.

I - Not how this was supposed to work (WIP)

First: Foggy Nelson had never been a scaredy-cat. In general, he wasn’t afraid of a lot of things. He wasn’t scared of going to the doctor or the dentist, and he wasn’t afraid of the dark, spiders, heights, or the boogie man either.

Last: “I think it just might,” Karen answered, smiling softly. “They might not become friends, but they might make okay roommates.”

II - Ten out of Ten (MCD Warning)

First: Matt got the call from the hospital while he was in class.

Last: It was only when Foggy rested a soft, almost brotherly hand on his friend’s shoulder that he realised Matt wasn’t frozen, he was crying.

III - When the World is too much, you are my Bubble

Note: This one is a collection of ficlets for two OCs I came up with, so the first and the last line do not belong to the same story.

First: “Is it beautiful?” Jamie asked, closing her eyes as she leaned against G’s side and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on this day in early spring.

Last: “That’s cute,” Jamie hummed, then started laughing. “Buck and my Dad met when my dad was being an idiot and Buck stopped him from running in front of a car or something.” She laughed again. “Honestly, every time you ask them they give you a different story.”

IV - Of Soup, Flowers and Tattoos (WIP)

First: “Every flower has a meaning, you know?” Foggy was leaning on the counter of ‘Sweet and Spicy’, when the restaurant had a quiet moment. He was watching the guy working in the small flower shop across the street from their soup café. “Every type of flower, every colour, and even the way they are arranged can tell whole stories.”

Last: “Yes, Clint.” Matt chuckled softly. “Bucky and you own a Tattoo Studio. I would be surprised if you didn’t have Tattoos and piercings.” He traced Clint’s neck again, smiling as the other man leaned in again. “I just don’t know which ones and what they look like, so I was a little surprised when I suddenly had two pieces of metal in my mouth.” He licked his own lips, then traced his thumb over Clint’s again, pulling softly at one of the black metal rings. “I don’t mind. Actually, I quite like it.” He smirked, signing slowly with one hand still cupping Clint’s jaw. “It’s wild and interesting, just like you.”

V - Just let yourself have this (Smut Warning)

First: “Hello, handsome.” A low, rich voice, laced with an English accent approached Clint.

Last: Charles simply brushed a soft kiss into Clint’s hair, smiling softly and breathing in his scent. “Sleep tight, sweetheart.”

VI - Stop telling me you're sorry and just let me fuck you silly (unsurprisingly: Smut Warning)

First: “Tell me what you want, pretty boy.” James purred right into Clint’s ear. He was leaning on his elbow, the fingers of his other hand softly tracing Clint’s chest.

Last: “I mean...” Clint chuckled, smirking up at his partner as well, “I wouldn’t say no, if you’re offering...”

VII - Clint's Love-Hate Relationship with Food (Eating Disorder Warning)

First: "Are you really gonna eat all of those?" Tony asked with surprise and almost something like disgust in his voice.

Last: “Yeah,” Matt scoffed. “I’m definitely not gonna leave you alone with this gaggle of idiots while your brain is being stupid,” he gestured around them, vaguely indicating the other Avengers, but mostly meaning Tony. “You’re my baby hawk, you’re gonna get all the cuddles you want tonight.”

VIII - Blanket Nest

First: “Clint-Buddy, are you okay?” Foggy asked as he came back from the kitchen with a fresh mug of coffee.

Last: “You’re perfect, Clint,” Matt signed at some point, simply making Clint smile this time. “Never change who you are for anyone but yourself.”

IX - Arrow, Snowflake, Star

First: “It’s not pretty,” Bucky muttered, wrapping their arms protectively around their chest, the right one covering the weaker left. “It’s everything but pretty...”

Last: “It’s more than I need to know that you’re my little treasure,” Clint said, just like I had done earlier. “We’re always gonna take care of you, no matter what happens.”

X - Why are archers so annoying?

First: “You wanna give it a shot?” Clint asked, gesturing with his bow before going to pick up his arrows from the targets on the other end of the lane.

Last: “Both.” I decided. “Both is good.” “Then both it is.” Clint smiled nodding for me to follow him. “Come on, little Hawk, let’s get you your treats.”

KUCHEN!

@42donotpanic understands me like nobody else I‘ve ever talked too. And somehow our conversation was suddenly about cake
