Happy Holidays Meme

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Wherever your character is, whatever their feelings on the plethora of holidays found in December, they're bound to be caught up in the festivities. It's up to you what kind of holiday they'll experience! (Feel free to exchange Christmas for whatever holiday your character celebrates.)

Directions
1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc.
2. Roll a number between 1-17 (gen) or 1-4 (smut) for a prompt.
3. Reply to others and play out the scenario!


Gen Prompts
1. Tree Shopping — There's nothing like a freshly cut tree at Christmas. Do you go out into the woods to find one yourself, or do you stroll through a lot while it's snowing, looking for the perfect tree?

2. Ice Skating — Do you skate at rink or out on a frozen pond? Have you ever skated before? How many times do you fall?

3. Pinterest Fails — You're set on making your own gifts this year, so you try out some adorable Pinterest ideas... And fail miserably. How do you salvage Christmas?

4. Secret Santa — The names have been drawn and now you're tasked with finding the right gift for someone who you may hardly know. Is it easy, or do you have to do some reconnaissance before making your decision?

5. Christmas Market — There are stalls of handcrafts and delicious goodies lining the streets, with crowds of people out walking in the snow and drinking mulled wine.

6. Decorating the Tree — How will the two of you decorate the tree? Do you spend a half hour untangling the twinkle lights, make popcorn strings while listening to carols, argue over who gets to put the star on top?

7. Road Trip — The snacks are packed and you’re ready to go to grandma’s house. But what happens when you lose GPS signal and get lost in the middle of nowhere or the car breaks down?

8. Stuck in the Airport — You’re snowed in and the hotels are full of fellow delayed passengers. Why don’t they make these chairs more comfortable for sleeping in?

9. Avoiding the Family — You’re obligated to go home for the holiday, but there’s only so much you can take of your family. Go for a walk, stop by the bar, whatever it takes for a little peace and quiet - and meet someone along the way.

10. Christmas Party — Are you hosting the event, or just bringing an extra bottle of wine? Is it a work function? How many glasses of spiked eggnog have you had?

11. Baking Shenanigans — How long does it take for the two of you to destroy the kitchen, either with forgetting to put the lid on the blender or simply starting a food fight?

12. Burned the Turkey — Well, the main course is a little blackened. Time for Chinese food, or is it pizza this year?

13. Mistletoe — The little sprig of green strikes again! Are you the one stuck under it, or the lucky finder ready to claim your prize?

14. Last Minute Shopping — Are you out fighting the crowds for the best deals? Or are you behind one of the counters, stuck in the annual retail holiday hell?

16. Turbo Man — You have one last thing on your shopping list, but it's the hottest of the season and everywhere is sold out. There's only one left — but they've spotted it too! Who will walk away victorious?

17. Taking in a Show — Who doesn't love going to the theater during the holiday season? The shows always seem a little more magical this time of year, and that new musical sounds like just what you need to get in the spirit.

18. Write-in Option — Is there something we missed? Is there another scenario you want to play out? Go for it!



Smut Prompts
1. Present Under the Tree — You've wrapped yourself up and are waiting for that special someone.

2. Sneaking Away at a Party — No, you can't wait until you get home or the guests leave, you need them now.

3. Keeping Warm During a Snowstorm — The power's gone out and you have to stay warm somehow...

4. Baking Surprise — How on earth did you get chocolate there? Oh well, can't let it go to waste!

[ So, like, there's group rates for Broadway tickets.

So SHIELD has booked practically a whole aisle for their agents. A Christmas treat for a hard year, granting them a set of almost impossible-to-obtain tickets. Team bonding, they call it, and Bucky's wound up on the guest list thanks to his recent operations with the agency. He'd accepted, because when the hell else was he gonna get to see this show and laugh at it— only to realise he'd made a tactical error, since without Steve or Sam or Nat around to take the edge off, he's uncomfortable socialising in a big group like this, with people who all know each other better than they know him. And so he's wound up lurking on the outskirts, in the middle of despairing about this whole evening, until he finally spots a familiar face in the crowd—

Daisy Johnson. Quake. His partner from that one thing that one time.

Like a drowning man seizing at a lifeline, he makes a beeline to join her in line for the overpriced theater bar. He slides in beside her, bumps her arm companionably with his elbow. ]

Is SHIELD covering the drinks? I'm probably gonna need some quadruple cocktails to deal with this.

[ Bucky tips his head to the buzzing crowd around them, all vibrating with pre-show energy. Fans are wearing clothing branded in red-white-and-blue and emblazoned with that familiar star. There's a 'Rogers & Stark & Banner & Odinson & Romanoff & Barton' Helvetica shirt, which makes his skin crawl, and he'd vanished even further into his hoodie like a turtle at the sight of it, hoping no one recognises him.

Thank god Barnes isn't on any of the merch. He hadn't been around for this particular part of the Avengers' history. ]

[As the latest step in Gonta's self-imposed Gentleman Training (tm), Gonta has decided to learn ice skating! And he's roped Kaede into accompanying him, regardless of whether or not she's skating.

And so at the local rink, Gonta's dressed up in some red winter attire that is somewhat Santa-esque while he puts on the largest ice skates known to man. A bright smile flourishes on his face.]

Gonta is so excited to start skating! Is Akamatsu-san excited too?

[OTA for gen, M/F for shippy/smut. I generally prefer to take her from pre-S2, because hey, trashfire. Bring me cast and crosscanon, DCEU is boss and all the MCU peeps are welcome. OCs also welcome. 18+ for all prompts, 21+ for smut (unless it's Peter Parker because I'm a horrible person).]

Gen 2 + Smut 3

[jobbies]

[It's that time of year again. That time of year when you go on a trip to the lake with your friends but they ditch you half-unconscious on the porch of a cabin in the middle of nowhere without a key (except you can totally break in without a key anyway, thanks jerks) so you decide to call up your fwb to come over and make the best of it. That time of year. Good thing Jess is great at finding him even with the worst possible directions. Whenever she gets there, she'll find the cabin itself empty despite a fire burning in the hearth, but if she hunts around a bit outside, she'll be met with some footprints in the snow leading downhill and then a high pitched shout from the frozen lake below.

Charlie is down there on the ice in a pair of ice skates with a beer bottle in his hand, arms stretched and waving to get her attention.]

Hey! Jess! Down here! Jess!
