Title: Iron and Stone
Fandom: The Hobbit
Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: N/A
Author notes: Thanks go to Zana, Morgynleri & Icka for encouragement & sanity-checking.
Summary: Just because a description is a cliché doesn't mean it isn't true

( Iron and Stone )

Title: Death By Cliché
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Rating: SFW
Length: 200 words
Content notes: choose not to use.
Author notes: I was working on a short story for my horror badge but it just wasn't working so I've reduced it to 200 words and used it for this challenge. Prompt: cliche, and SBIGTTS: Writing: "write a drabble that's exactly 200 words".
Summary: Derek just doesn't appreciate Stiles's humour.

( Death By Cliché )

Title Just Another Sob Story
Fandom: Code Black
Rating: PG
Length: 433
Content Notes: N/A
Author Notes: This feels like it wants to be a much bigger thing but it's complete enough as is.
Summary: Just being back in his home city makes Mario regret coming back.

( Just Another Sob Story )

Title: Unicorns
Fandom: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Rating: E
Pairing: Newt Scamander/Percival Graves, Newt Scamander & Newt’s Beast(s)
Length: 1,908 words
Content notes: Rough sex, bondage, pain play.
Author notes: This is for the prompts Cliché, Rough and Locked. This is also for SBIGTTS: Writing - write in a tense strange to you (past, present, future) with me writing in the present when normally I write in the past.
Summary: Based on the following prompt on Fantastic Beasts Kink Meme: Newt's menagerie contains a unicorn. Given that unicorns prefer girls and virgins this gives people the wrong idea. Newt's not inexperienced; he's just that damn good with animals.

( Story )

Title: Greg's Coffee Shop
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Rating: PG
Length: 459
Summary: Sherlock Holmes works in the coffee shop owned by Greg Lestrade, who has just employed a certain John Watson
A/N: The main cliché is that possibly over-used AU, the coffee shop.  There are other clichés liberally sprinkled around, a bit like decorations on the cup cake icing.

( "So, who is he?" )

Title: Changed
Fandom: Crossing lines/Sentinel fusion
Rating: PG
Length: 100
Content notes: It's a little bit of fluff, I guess? Nothing to warn about at all. (Sebastian/Ellie)
Author notes: I've had an idea for a Sentinel fusion/AU about Germany and the way they might have treated Sentinels and Guides after WW2. This is a tiny glimpse into that universe, mainly because I have not managed to actually write more, so far.
Summary: Sebastian watches his Guide sleep.

Author: Resonant
Title: Abstain
Text of fic on AO3
Fandoms: Stargate: Atlantis
Characters: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: Teen (warnings for torture, threat of rape)
Length: ~40 mins
Angst-to-hope ratio: Low
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.
Bookkeeping Notes: New-to-me-on-FFW fandom; repod (that's what I get for going to the classics :) ), features character in altered state of consciousness.
Summary: Aliens force John and Rodney not to have sex.
A/N: Thanks to Resonant for blanket-transformation permission!

OK, so, this is me recording a podfic in a fandom for which I have never seen the canon.  See, I went on a binge of reading SGA fics by some of my favorite classic due South authors who were also classic SGA authors, like you do.  And then, when I was thinking about how I could get some new fandoms for badge reasons, I was amused by the idea of doing a podfic entirely without canon knowledge.  I did end up having to cheat a little, because when I had to read "ZPM" aloud, I realized that surely show that made a running joke of having both Canadian and American characters would have the Canadian say "zed" and the American say "zee," so I had to check the internet to confirm this hypothesis, and that led to clicking on some clips from the show...but I'd recorded most of the podfic before I sullied my virgin ears.  Anyway, this amuses me probably more than it amuses anyone else, and I'm awarding myself unofficial SBIGTTS bonus points for shenanigans. :)

Title: Favour
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: PG
Length: 1600 words
Content notes:
Author notes: Medieval!au - right after Tourney, but should be perfectly coherent without. And the cliche being used is winning a tournament as a way of courting someone - not that either of them would admit there is any courting going on yet. Not even if there happens to be a kiss. (Or two.) (Umi winning the tourney probably counts as a cliche too. XD)
Summary: "Would you not tell us your name, and for whom you fought so valiantly?"

( Favour )

Title: Another Kettle Ruined
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Pairing: Frodo/Sam
Rating: PG
Length: 350 words
Content notes: Poking fun at a few of the clichés in the Frodo/Sam fandom (some of which I myself have been guilty of in the past)
Summary: Frodo tries to help out in the kitchen. Uh-oh!

( Another Kettle Ruined )

Title: Bodies at Rest
Fandom: The Borrowers series - Mary Norton
Characters/Pairing: Arrietty Clock/Dreadful Spiller/Peregrine Overmantel
Rating: teen
Length: ~5000 words
Content notes: bodyswap, established relationship
Author notes: I feel I should mention that this contains canon-typical attitudes and allusions that are not necessarily present in any of the more modern adaptions. This story is definitively bookverse.
Summary: When Arrietty wakes up to find that Spiller and Peagreen are in the wrong bodies, it draws old tensions to the forefront of their relationship.

( Arrietty awoke that morning to a loud crash as Peagreen jolted out of their bed with a strange, stiff-limbed jerk. )

Title: In The Rain
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Length: 500
Content notes: None.
Author notes: For fan_flashworks Challenge #22, "Cliche". Classic cliche of 'trapped in the rain'. XD Also for cottoncandy_bingo square "Stroll".
Summary: "It's England, Granger. Dear old soggy England. Of course it's going to rain."

( In The Rain )

Title : The Lightning-Fast Shake-Your-Ass Snippet

Author Notes : Written for the fan_flashworks "cliche challenge" ("undercover at a dance club" cliche) and towards the fan_flashworks "Lightning Streak Achievement Badge" for having been written in less than an hour (and with less than 45 minutes 'til the comm deadline, so unbeta'ed). Also, towards the "Cross-Pollinator Achievement Badge," written for the current dS_snippets challenge to write 300 words or less that incorporate some or all of the following prompts (and I did all) : "jazz, tap, hip-hop, modern, God wants you to shake your ass".

Summary : God must want Fraser to shake his ass...because seeing that happen is giving onlookers a religious experience.

Character: Wendy Darling
Summary: Happy thoughts can help anyone fly.

Title: Genre Mixer Prompt Generator
Fandom: Any
Content notes: Prompts include sex, BDSM, non-con, and disturbing or violent imagery. These are only included by enabling NSFW prompts in the options.
Creator's notes: I've been mulling over creating this prompt generator for a while. It combines the two prompt styles that have proven to be most effective in breaking my writer's block: the first, a ficmeme that takes a list of characters and combines them randomly with cliché fic genres; the second, a bonus round in hs_olympics where prompts were formatted with a ship and two genres to be mashed together.

This generator works by taking a user-supplied list of characters, and choosing from that list and a list of clichés and genres to create a random prompt. I've gotten a lot of really golden prompts while testing this, and I hope that any one of you can get some use out of it as well. The main sources I curated the clichés and genres from are listed on the generator page, although props must go to my lovely moirail kittyfreud who is actually responsible for compiling the majority of the genres, and who helped extensively with testing.

Click here for the prompt generator, and please let me know if anything is broken or if you think of anything I can add!
