[Fic] wherein Liz is bored and willing to write on command

[edenfalling]

I am bored and attempting to stay awake. I am also, alas, out of inspiration for all my WIPs. So am I asking for prompts!

Give me a character or ship PLUS a scenario | setting | mood | line of dialogue, and I will try to write you a three sentence ficlet.

ETA: Prompts are closed! Thank you to everyone who contributed. :-)

[Fic] "picnic at 20,000 feet" -- Homestuck

bramblemouth said: Rose/Sollux, on a plane

They set up their picnic on the wing of a Boeing 747: egg-salad sandwiches, a cheese platter with assorted fancy crackers, tortilla chips and grubsauce to dip them, grapes and apples and carrots, celery sticks filled with peanut butter and raisins, Red Bull and red wine, and a pair of Jane's cupcakes for dessert. The psionic shield holding them in place and maintaining breathable air shimmers and flexes under the force of the wind, tiny forks and spears of red-and-blue lightning lending an otherworldly glow to their faces and the silver-white paint of the wing.

"Gremlinth, my fucking ath; everyone knowth they can't even fly!" Sollux says again as yet another frightened face peers through the airplane's windows, and Rose smirks to herself with the satisfaction of a job well done.
