What's in the Bowl? Drabbles, drabble sequences, and ficlets under 1000 words

Let Me Know: Happy to write stuff for Sense8 (specifically Dani/Lito/Hernando, Riley/Capheus, Nomi/Riley) or X-Men (specifically focused on Jean, Maddie, Jubilee, Rogue, and/or Kitty...the rarer the pair the better, though I may have to do some research).

Other info: I don't write E-rated stuff, but otherwise, prompt away, though I may ask you if I can tweak the prompt a little if I'm not feeling it.

Sadly, I don't know those fandoms, but I hope you get requests!

[soricel]

Thanks! It's my first time doing this, so we'll see! :)

[merricatb]

Oooh trick or treat I'd love some Dani/Lito/Hernando. Anything post-canon or missing scene fics? Just them being family. Thank you thank you <3

[soricel]

You got it! I love any opportunity to spend more time with those three. :))

[merricatb]

Yay! Thank you!

[soricel]

Here you go! Hope you enjoy! :)

Thank you!!!! This was wonderful! And perfect timing since I just had my eyes checked and need new glasses AGAIN lol.

[soricel]

Yay, glad you liked it! And wow, what timing! XD

[maevedarcy]

knock knock!

trick or treat!!!

I would love to get something Nomi/Riley for the prompts "casual intimacy" or "firsts"

And if that doesn't tickle your fancy, anything Dani/Lito/Hernando will make me extremely happy

[soricel]

Ooh, totally! :))

[soricel]

Here you go! :) https://archiveofourown.org/works/93889596

[maevedarcy]

omg thank you so so much <3 <3 <3 this was so cute <3

[soricel]

Yay, glad you liked it! PS, I’d request something from you too, but it looks like you’ve got quite a line at your door already and I don’t wanna contribute to any possible overwhelm. :)

[maevedarcy]

oh worry not! Feel free to come and drop a prompt! It might be the one that gets me out of this writer's block so I can start fulfilling fic requests lol

[soricel]

Ok! I’ll try to think on some prompts and then come a-knocking’. :)

[ioplokon]

If you wanted to write anything about Scott and Jean, that would be neat! (Not a rare pair at all...)

Or anything with the Hellions (except Empath), if you like New Mutants...

[soricel]

Ooh, sure! I love Scott and Jean. :) Any particular prompts/scenarios?

[ioplokon]

Hmm... Maybe something seasonal? Like Halloween or going on a cute autumnal date?

[soricel]

Ooh yeah, that’d be fun! I’ll see what I can come up with :)

[soricel]

I'm not sure if you have an AO3 account, so I'll leave the story here. Hope yiu enjoy. :)

Scott watched the little orange-handled knife rise up from the table, hover for a moment, then pierce the pumpkin’s tough skin. As the serrated blade began sawing away, following an intricate pattern along the smooth, orange surface, a paring knife followed suit, hopping off the wooden table and getting to work carving smooth, elegant lines that curled up from the pumpkin’s blossom end. Beside the pumpkin, there was a metal bowl filled with seeds and yellowish pulp. Jean hadn’t lifted a finger scooping out the pumpkin’s insides, and the newspaper laid out across her section of the table was spotless.

***

Scott’s side of the table was a different story. The newspaper under his pumpkin was heaped with soggy seeds and stringy pumpkin guts; his hands looked like they’d just gotten a bad spray-tan. He’d tried carving his pumpkin the old-fashioned way, using just his hands, his tools, and a stencil of a classic Jack-o-lantern, but it already looked more like a creepy horror movie prop than a cute decoration that could complement the haybales at the mansion’s entrance.

Seeing Jean’s progress, Scott decided to take a different approach. He set down his knife and raised his finger to his temple.

***

He’d meant it to be a precision blast, a laser beam carving out a perfect triangle eye. Instead, it sent shards of pumpkin flying as far as the basketball court. He heard Logan curse as a piece whacked him in the head; another chunk plunked into the leaf-strewn pool.

“Sorry!” He rushed to Jean’s side, sure he’d made a mess of her and her Jack-o-lantern, only to realize she’d thrown up a psychic shield when she’d seen what he was about to do.

“It’s alright, Scott,” she said as he lowered himself back to his seat and hung his head.

***

It was alright. No big deal. Except...it kind of was. To him, anyway.

She had no idea how many pumpkins she’d carved in her life; Scott could probably count the number he’d carved on one hand. He hadn’t grown up doing things like this, which explained why they felt so hard, so loaded, when he tried them now.

“Do you want to help me with mine?” she asked gently.

“You’re already done,” he muttered without looking up.

“Not yet,” she said, turning the pumpkin to face him. “It’s missing something.”

He raised his eyes and saw the silhouette she’d carved.

***

“Easy now,” she said as he stood on the bench, looking down into the hole where the stem had been.

“I know,” he said, lifting his hand to the side of his visor; a soft stream of red light flowed from his eyes into the hollowed-out pumpkin. “How does it look?”

Jean zipped her jacket up to her chin and took a few steps backwards, joining Logan and the others a few feet away from the table.

She smiled through the steam of the hot cider Jubilee had handed her. “Perfect,” she said, staring at the flaming Phoenix before her.

[ioplokon]

This is so sweet! Also I imagine now Jubilee will explode pumpkins on purpose (but will wait til Scott leaves so he doesn't feel bad).

Thanks so much! :)

[soricel]

Haha, I can totally see that too. :)) Glad you liked it! It was fun to write. :)

Hello! Fic or Treat!

A person in a bad Darth Vader Costume is at your door.

Any combination of Rogue Jubilee Kitty possibly in your bowl? Perhaps gossip about others, talking about the trials of their powers, or just a shopping trip to the mall?

[soricel]

Cool costume! And yes, I'm sure I can rustle up something like that! :))

[soricel]

Hope you like it!

[flareonfury]

TRICK OR TREAT! ♥

[dressed up a Madelyne Pryor/Goblin Queen from the X-Men]

I'd absolutely love anything Dani/Lito/Hernando or I have so many rare pairings for X-Men! Would you do Rogue/Cyclops? Or I'd take Scott/Maddie or Maddie/Rogue... whatever inspires you!

As for prompt something seasonal appropriate? :D Pumpkins/costumes/etc

(also I'm flareonfury everywhere)

[soricel]

Great costume and great prompts! I'll get to work whipping something up. :))

[soricel]

Here you go! Hope you like it! :)

[soricel]

Yay! I’m glad. :)

[impala_evolved]

*knock knock* Hello neighbor! I'd love some sense8 fic for any of the ships you listed. Hopefully one of these prompts strikes your fancy: midnight stroll, a storm is brewing, or fall baking tradition(s).

[soricel]

Hi! I definitely think I can rustle up something like that! :)
