IMPORTANT! Spoilers for aired episodes are now being allowed on this area of the meme, without warning. If you do not want to encounter spoilers, please prompt at our Spoiler-Free Prompt Post.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
+Anon posting is most definitely allowed, but not required.
+All kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance--whatever. Go wild! :D
+Keep things neat! Read prompts before you post to see if something similar has already been done, and while you are encouraged to prompt as much as you like, try to fill as well.
+Please do not re-post prompts unless the last time they were prompted was on an older part. Simply put: ONE posting of each prompt per part.
+RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.
+Depending on the rate of activity, there may or may not be a prompt freeze when a part reaches 2000 and 4500 comments.
+However, there will be one when it reaches 7000. Also at 7000, after the freeze a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.
+Multiple fills are encouraged! :) Just because a prompt has already been claimed or written by someone, do not be afraid to offer up a second fill.
+re: hijacking.
Please refrain from hijacking a prompt. Hijacking may be defined as responding to a prompt by taking a portion of it and adding your own ideas about what should be added, changed or eliminated. In addition, commenting with off topic jokes or chatter.
By hijacking, the focus of the prompt can be lost, and inappropriate threads created. By doing this fillers may be discouraged which is something no one wants to experience.
If a prompt leads you to an original idea, please create your own prompt. The chatter or love posts are the proper places to share jokes or talk about prompts that have inspired you.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
Put links to your fills here. There are instructions on the actual post. I ask that if the part you wanted isn't up yet, just wait and one of the archivists will get to it, but please, once it is up, please make sure you post your fills there according to the guidelines. DO NOT skip out on doing this because it seems like too much effort.
Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods would be happy to explain.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for triggery prompts (and also for fills, because some people read in flat view) and phrasing prompts in a manner that strives to be respectful.
Things which you might want to consider warning for include: Rape/Non-Con, Death, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, Underage Relationships, among others.
That being said, this is a kink meme. As such, there will be prompts that could offend you in a number of different ways. Not every prompt will have a trigger warning, and not every prompt will rub you the right way. If you have an issue with a specific prompt, feel free to bring it up in a discussion that takes place off the meme. However, flaming will not be tolerated regardless of origin.
You are highly encouraged to scroll right past a prompt that you dislike.
Remember, guys; Be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

Fill: Handful of Dust 3/?
(Anonymous) 2012-01-03 08:10 am (UTC)(link)"Sorry, sorry," he apologized profusely as she did the same.
"In a hurry?" she gently teased as she dabbed a napkin to her coffee-splashed jumper. John frantically grabbed more napkins and didn't have the focus to appreciate the calculating twinkle in her eyes. "Let me guess: Med student?"
"How'd you know?"
"Frantic. Agitated. Strung up on caffeine but here for more. Stethoscope." She winked. "I know a man stressed by tests when I see one."
John laughed, or huffed a laugh as he was too distracted by the time to find much humor in anything. Except maybe in his own bumbling idiocy that could make himself late and run into a pretty girl with coffee.
"Oh, get on then," she'd said and John looked up from his watch, confused. "You've looked at your watch three times. My jumper will survive."
"I'm sorry," John said, longing for the exit -- but he couldn't just leave. "Let me buy you another coffee." Although the the line growing despairingly long.
"Sure." Her eyes fixated on him. "When are you done with your tests?"
John, distracted by looming assessments, was slow to see the relevance of her question. "Um, today?"
He did a double-take when she said, "Tomorrow then. Three-thirty work for you?"
And that was how he met his Mary, before even knowing her name.
*
Mary was John's soulmate, and he didn't need to read her name on his hand to know it. They could talk for hours about anything. She laughed at his jokes and he suspected she actually liked them. When she talked about working with children, he was interested, and they discussed child behavior between school and a doctor's office. She wanted children, and so did he. They got a flat together while he continued his internship with plans to become a paediatrician, she taught a class of eight year olds, and they somehow made rent. On evenings she'd put her students' homework aside, they'd curl up on the sofa with wine and a movie they weren't interested in watching, and make love.
She was pregnant before they were married because he was indecisive on how to propose. On one knee in front of her eight year old students while bringing her lunch was apparently the wrong way to go about it.
“I couldn’t get a single one of them to pay attention after that! A whole day’s lessons out the window.” The light in her eyes told him that she didn’t mind too much. Even with the frantic rush of a wedding, seven months of pregnancy and six months of marriage were bliss.
The day before she went into premature labor, they sat on the sofa watching a comedy show. He rubbed his hand across her belly, slipping under her loose shirt to tickle her belly button. A light patter drummed under his palm, and Mary laughed.
