Pathologic Prompt Meme!

[maximumhusky]

Hello, welcome to the Pathologic Prompt Meme!

Please make anonymous prompts for things you would like to see, or anonymously fulfill prompts by creating stories, poetry, drawn art, music, or anything! I just want to say that this prompt meme is open to people of all skill levels, so have fun!

Some basic rules that were recommended to help out before we get started:

- This is the Pathologic Prompt Meme, and it's SFW! Please post any NSFW prompts or fills into the NSFW Pathologic Kink Meme. A good rule of thumb is whether or not you'd be comfortable with your boss at work looking over your shoulder and reading what you have on screen.

- If you're worried about anything being a little too gore-heavy (e.g. certain medical procedures can be), or etc., please post it in the NSFW Pathologic Kink Meme. This decision is for folks who have limits in regard to certain explicit things. Speaking of explicit things...

- Please use tags and content warnings, especially for things that people might be triggered over. For prompt fillers, please put those tags in the beginning of the post so that way people can skip over them if need be. Tags can also attract people to your art if it has content that they're interested in, so it can be a helpful tool for content creators as well.

- No writers of incest (kains which does include aglaya and her relatives, stamatins, olgimskys, etc), underage/adult ships (which DOES include Clara,) or rape. Please don't make anything gross happen to underage characters!

- Multiple fills to a single prompt is not only accepted, but wonderful! It's a win-win for everybody!

- In the case of a filler of a prompt going inactive for a long time in the middle of a story, it's okay for a different person to continue where they left off. Please make it obvious that you're not the original author, and then feel free to write.

And that's as much as I have in regards to rules! Hopefully these answered answer any questions you might have! Feel free to recommend any rules of your own, or ask me for clarification on the current ones.

AND THAT'S IT! Have fun! :D

Latest Fill: [fill] (Mod note: This is Peter coping after Andrey's death, but I'm having a hard time finding the corresponding prompt post for this for some reason. It's well-written, but for some reason Dreamwidth glitched out on making this post visible. Please give this author some love! (link)

Victor and the empty marble nester syndrome

[(Anonymous)]

Khan and Capella are finally married! For some reason or another the couple breaks from real-world tradition and khan moves into Capella's wing. (maybe something about how a mistress cannot live in the physical domain of another? But khan isn't a mistress so he can move just fine). In response Victor gets a little anxious, of course he loves his son---but it wasn't like he and Nina ever really visited or wrote to their own fathers once they were married. What if Khan is the same? To cope, Victor ever so slightly tightens his bond, and his grip, on his apprentice Grief---desperate not to be left alone in the Crucible

Capella and the price of being Papa's favorite

[(Anonymous)]

As white mistress to be it was always quite easy for Capella to win the favor of others, whteher through natural or supernatural means---but alas she is not all-powerful, she cannot control how people feel about hose other than herself, and that includes her father and brother, a great source of potential stress in her family life

Ideas
-Capella knows she is the favorite child and feels guilt
-Capella is frustrated that she cannot do anything about this guilt, she cannot make her father love her any less and she cannot make him love her brother anymore
-Capella is concerned this dynamic has strained her own relationship with her brother, who might view her more as an obstacle than as a sister or even a mistress
-please do not be weird about their relationship as siblings.

Father (and mentor) knows best

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no! Grief has caught f-f-feelings for somebody. Diurnal ending so it isn't like he can just bury them under crime anymore. But he's too embarrassed to go to his friends for advice, and not fully confident they won't tattle or would even offer very good relationship advice (they've all been pretty unlucky in love thus far). Oh what is a poor grief to do?
Unless....
Hey Mr. Kain, you've been in love before right?

-found family father/son Victor and Grief!
-maybe some little-brother khan?
-Grief/Artemy? Grief/Lara? Grief/Rubin? Grief/Danil? Grief/anyone!!
-ok grief/maria would be kind of weird.

Grief gets a half

[(Anonymous)]

Notkin always believed that the souls-and-a-halves should be open to everyone---even adults, so he is super excited when his FAVORITE adult in Gorkhon seems to have attracted the attention of a potential half

-please give me that good found family brother dynamic pleassse

(I'll be crossposting this onto ao3 btw)

Not even the whispers of the town could give a moment’s solace. Nothing could, the words just drifted by his ears trying to turn his attention from the harsh reality before him. They were all so loud overwhelming.
Maria had words, Daniil had words, Anna had words. But none of them had a god damn thing to help.

Not that there was anything to help at this point. His brother was just one of the many bodies claimed by the sand plague. But yet his fist clenched thinking of how everyone failed his brother. The Bachelor most of all. Yet it was hard to hate that man, he owed that man his own life and logically he knew that he had done all he could.

And none of it had been enough to save his larger than life brother, who while had accomplished much could have done so much more with just scraps more time. He had done every impossible thing that he came across, except beat death.

The studio was dim as if a blanket of clouds blocked out the sun, yet through the dirty windows was a view of the first clear day the town had seen in nearly two weeks. Candles carelessly placed on the floor flicker shining light over half finished pages and ink stains.

Peter sat at his desk, hunched over a design for a grave. As he drew the final line it hit him, there was no one to place this idea into reality. A sad laugh echoed through the all too quiet loft. Andrey was the one equipped for this, not him. It was by a miracle he hadn’t already drunk himself dead.

For all the complicated feelings and misery Andrey brought on Peter still had loved his brother. And needed him, needed him badly. Staring at the design of his brother’s headstone made it hit real and raw. He had not a clue what to do without his brother.

Wood scraped against wood as he pushed himself up from the desk. His nails scratch and dig into the worn wood of the desk. His face scrunched up till he couldn’t see clearly as tears rolled down his weathered and exhausted face.

“I wish we could speak one last time, brother.”

The air didn’t reply.

Their last talk had been as mundane as circumstances allowed. They had just been questioned by the Inquisitor and going their separate ways. Andrey had seemed like he wanted to talk about something later, but Peter would never be certain now.

“Please… just tell me what to do without you…”

He never fathomed the idea that Andrey’d be the first of them to die. He always had reckoned it’d be him.

His hand grabbed the nearest bottle of twyrine and without a moment’s hesitation had the cork out of the neck of it. The warmth in his chest from the alcohol was the only warmth he could say his heart had felt since the news broke to him.

Poor Daniil had to be the one to tell him, had to be the one to see the pitible outburst that came afterwards. Shouts turned to sobs turned to silence. At some point during the sobbing or the silence Daniil had left as when Peter had looked up again he was gone. He couldn’t blame him for leaving.

As he started to move in the direction of the couch his coat, trailing behind him brushed too close for comfort with one of the burning candles. But comfort was for sober men with brothers who were alive.

Strength of will was something he had always lacked. Maybe that’s why he so often went along with Andrey’s ideas. He never was able to fight his own battles, it was one of his greatest flaws. And worse was that his problems weren’t ones someone else could save him from.

Ha, he couldn’t even make it to the couch before giving up and sinking to the floor. Letting the twyrine’s song sooth him to some sleep. Perhaps at least he’d see his brother in his dreams.

Perhaps that’s where some sense of closur-

Daniil & Artemy Age Regression, Comfort

[(Anonymous)]

CW: non-sexual age regression in response to stress/trauma

After the plague Daniil mentally regresses to a young age, but unfortunately his childhood was full of responsibilities and pressure to be perfect (not unlike his adult life), so the regression doesn’t help him cope.

I’d like to read about Artemy comforting Daniil in both his age-reg state and after, helping him to not feel ashamed about it.

+ super bonus points for Daniil being autistic
+ more bonus points for Artemy learning about Daniil’s love for beetles (maybe they look for beetles together in the steppe!!)
+ I imagine this scenario being a step along the way to romance because of Daniil’s vulnerability and Artemy’s affection, but the amount of future Burakovsky addressed is up to the filler :)

I would love to tackle this! I can't guarantee how much future burakhovsky this will lead to, but I hope to still write something tender!

Re: Daniil & Artemy Age Regression, Comfort

Aaaaaa I’m so excited! Artemy being gentle and tender with Daniil is just *chef’s kiss*
