insomnia;

the i n s o m n i a meme


It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

[ Sleeping over at the Barns is still new to him. The entire place is a dream that shouldn't be real but is. It was supposed to be a quick trip down to the kitchen and then back to bed and the tangle of limbs that is Ronan Lynch when he's asleep. Except in a house full of marvels and impossibilities so of course it's goddamn impossible to do something as simple as get a glass of water without setting off some dream object.

This time, it's a tea kettle that when Adam knocks it into the sink bursts into song. And not just regular song. Operatic soprano pouring out of its spout as Adam tries to smother it with a dish towel while he quietly swears a blue streak in pure Henrietta syllables. ]

[This might be the longest he's gone without being within a hundred miles of Ronan Lynch since the day they met. And that's weird for him. It's weird the same way that Gansey never thought about life after Glendower. Never imagined what that would look like. He never stopped to imagine what would ever bring them to be in different places.

Ronan belongs to the Barns and Gansey to the world and those are two things that are not always mutually inclusive.

Henry and Blue and Gansey are somewhere in Bangkok and he can blame the time difference on why he feels so funny. For a day, at least. And it's not even a lie he bothers to tell Blue. He misses Ronan like he'd miss his foot and Adam like his other foot and Noah like his knees. If that makes any sense.

She'd understand. If anyone would, it would be Blue Sargent. He very much doubts that she's sleeping either right now, when he rolls on to his side, and slips an arm around her middle. They share a small room here, Henry down the hall. It's allowed. It still marvels him.]


Jane. I keep thinking we left the stove on.
