Prompt me

I'm feeling the need for some writing inspiration at the moment. Leave me a prompt and I'll write something (of some length or other) to fit it. First ten prompts, please.

Fandoms are listed in my interests, but at the moment they are tennis and Saiyuki... or any other fandom you think you might be able to prod me into writing. I'm feeling semi-adventurous. A bit.

Also, it's the last day for Fedal fridge magnet fic entries. I spent most of yesterday rearranging words and scratching my head. It's such a good challenge - come and play.

If you're offering and this interests you, I'd enjoy reading Sanzo/Hakkai or Hakkai and Sanzo (doesn't need to be slash) - prompt: laundry/laundromat.

Thanks!

I hope this is along the lines of what you wanted. :)

"Everything's covered in blood," said Hakkai. He smiled, aware of Sanzo at his shoulder, silent and smelling bad. It had been such a nasty fight, especially for the losers. "I'm afraid."

The laundry woman peeped into the plastic bag stuffed with Sanzo's robes, hooking it open with the tip of one stumpy finger.

"Meh," she said. "What are you, butchers? It's going to be extra for the stain remover."

"We can pay," Hakkai. "Do you take credit cards?" He had it in his hand waiting. Sanzo had handed it over without a word.

"Meh," she said again, and stooped to dig around under the counter, pulling out a card swiping machine. She had eyes like chips of shiny coal pressed into dumpling dough. They fixed on Hakkai's limiters. "Don't see 'em too often. Right, this lot'll take a couple of hours."

"I want tea," Sanzo muttered. "If we're waiting."

"There's a vending machine round the back," she said.

"You're very kind," Hakkai said. Sanzo merely sighed.

Hakkai fetched the tea. They settled side by side on the hard benches and watched the great drums spin. Their clothes tumbled and sloshed in the machines. The shop was filled with their low growl.

It was warm, and the air smelled clean and fragrant with soap. Soon, Sanzo was making soft snoring sounds. He slumped, propped lightly against Hakkai's shoulder. His feet were bare - even his socks had been bloody. Hakkai sipped his tea and closed his eyes. It was good to relax for a few minutes.

"Thank you for helping me," Hakkai said, although Sanzo said nothing. "I know it's probably because of the socks, but you didn't have to come."

Sanzo snored a little louder. Hakkai smiled, and settled back on the bench to wait.

A wonderful, quiet moment. The interaction between the two of them is just right.

Thank you! It's lovely.

I was directed here by the prompter, and I really like what you've done with the prompt. Really lovely and a welcome change from the usual.
