Prompt Tree Challenge!
WARNING: I have turned viewer advisory off since I want this comm to be anon-friendly, but you will likely find sexually explicit material here! Turn back if that is not your bag, baby!
What we are doing here is a Prompt Tree Challenge. Any fandom is welcome, or for that matter things that aren't usually considered fandoms (historical figures, mythology, whatever you want). Gen and smut of any type are both welcome. eta: Fanart is okay, too - but if you post art, please link to it instead of posting it directly in the comments, and use appropriate warnings.
To explain how this works, I'm just going to use a really popular fandom with easily recognizable characters.
First, you leave a top-level comment with the name of a character you'd like people to write about. (For clarity, please put the series the character is from in parenthesis, since occasionally names do repeat. Abbreviations are fine, since presumably interested parties will recognize them.)
People interested in that character reply to that comment with a character (or more than one character) they want to pair the first character up with (in either a gen or porny context).
(To help people find the pairings they're interested in reading/writing about, please change the subject line of the comment at this point to the pairing in question - for instance, if you responded to Edward Elric with Roy Mustang, make your subject line Edward Elric/Roy Mustang.)
People who wish to leave a specific prompt at this point can leave one either for a pairing, or for the top level character. Examples:
OR:
People can leave fic at any point in this tree - they can write random fic for the top-level single character, random fic for any of the character pairings, or fic in response to one of the prompts.
Points to remember:
I will leave some prompts to start with so everyone can look and see what I'm on about! If you are still confused after that, ask any questions here.
eta: Master list of fic so far - will be updated periodically!
eta #2: Gonna close up the challenge tomorrow (evening, probably), Thurs. Jun. 4th, which is, aha, about a week later than I said, but hey! Anything left you want to get in, go ahead and do it!
eta #3: Posting closed!

Edward Elric (FMA)
People interested in that character reply to that comment with a character (or more than one character) they want to pair the first character up with (in either a gen or porny context).
Edward Elric (FMA)Roy MustangWinry Rockbell/Alphonse Elric
(To help people find the pairings they're interested in reading/writing about, please change the subject line of the comment at this point to the pairing in question - for instance, if you responded to Edward Elric with Roy Mustang, make your subject line Edward Elric/Roy Mustang.)
People who wish to leave a specific prompt at this point can leave one either for a pairing, or for the top level character. Examples:
Edward ElricRoy Mustangclash of tempers
OR:
Edward Elricwhat was sacrificed
People can leave fic at any point in this tree - they can write random fic for the top-level single character, random fic for any of the character pairings, or fic in response to one of the prompts.
Edward ElricEd fic can go hereRoy MustangEd/Roy fic can go hereclash of tempersor Ed/Roy "clash of tempers" fic can go here
Points to remember:
- Make sure if you're responding to a pairing by itself that you leave your fic as a reply to the pairing; if you're responding to a specific prompt, leave your comment as a response to the prompt. Also remember, in the above example, if you want to leave a prompt for Roy Mustang by himself or pair him with a different character, start a new comment tree.
- As I mentioned, please use the subject lines to clarify the pairing!
- Please add "FIC" to the subject line if you are adding fic, so that people can easily distinguish between fic and prompts! Ex: "FIC: Ed/Roy (FMA)"
- ALSO, I'm going to ask that if you're writing porn, please add "[MA]" to the subject line for your comment fic, so that people who don't want to read smut can skip it. Ex: "FIC: Ed/Roy (FMA) [MA]". (HOWEVER, this is forwarning to everyone: I am sure that some of us are going to forget about the porn warning on occasion, so you may well stumble across something that squicks you. If this is a truly horrible thought, you may want to skip this challenge. XD;)
- Yes, you are free to respond to your own characters/pairings/prompts with a pairing/prompt/fic, if you want. And yes, multiple people can respond to the same characters/pairings/prompts.
I will leave some prompts to start with so everyone can look and see what I'm on about! If you are still confused after that, ask any questions here.

Re: Raven/Oz
FIC: Raven/Oz: Protecting the master is...
Gilbert wobbled a bit unsteadily as he looked down at Oz curled up asleep on his couch. He sank down to the floor - a bit more heavily than he meant to, but Oz didn't stir - and rested his head on the edge of the cushions.
"From now on, I'll try to take better care of myself, so that I don't always have to rely on you," his master had said. The words had been sobering, but the sight of his master's small back receding from Gilbert's outstretched hand had been like a bucket of cold water to the face.
Protecting the master was supposed to be his job. His job. Not that stupid rabbit's. It wasn't a logical thought, he knew; if Oz hadn't formed that contract - if Gilbert had been too late, and that rabbit hadn't been there - but she was an intruder. She was the chain that would drag his master beyond his reach. That was unforgivable.
But it didn't sting half so much as those words, as the sight of that back falling away from him.
"So you don't have to rely on me? If you don't rely on me, what use am I?"
At the sound of his voice, Oz made a small sound, and Gilbert looked up, startled; but the boy only sighed and curled toward him, flopping one arm over his shoulder.
Gilbert laughed silently at himself as his chest clenched. It was what he had wished for, wasn't it? Watching his master recklessly hold himself up like a sacrifice time and time again, Gilbert only able to run after him, hoping he could catch him before he shattered, hoping there would still be something left to save; he had wished for an end to that, hadn't he?
Gilbert pinched the bridge of his nose. He couldn't protect a master that wouldn't take care of himself, but neither could he protect a master that didn't need him anymore.
"It's selfish, but this is all I have," Gilbert whispered. "Please don't leave me behind."
The blow to the back of his head came so suddenly and so unexpectedly that he let out a short, thoroughly undignified screech. He clutched at his smarting skull, swiveling around toward Oz. His master's eyes were open, too-bright in the dark.
"Stuuu-pid," said Oz, drawing the word out in a sing-song manner.
"You were awake?!"
"Of course I was awake."
"For how long?!" Gilbert felt his face flushing hotly. "Don't just keep lying there if you've already woken up!"
Oz grinned. "But then I wouldn't get to see Gil make that face, would I?"
"You -!" Gilbert gritted his teeth and sighed in defeat. "Nevermind."
Oz propped his head up with one arm, fixing Gilbert with his gaze. "You said you would absolutely stay by my side, didn't you? You don't mean to break that promise, do you?"
"No, of course not! That's not what I -"
"Well then, that just means you have to keep up, doesn't it?"
Gilbert blinked in surprise. "What?"
"If you're going to absolutely stay with me no matter what, then you'll just have to keep up with me." And then Oz gave him that smile, that tyrannical, golden smile, and Gilbert knew he'd been defeated before he even began.
"That's certainly..." said Gilbert slowly, "easier said than done."
"That's okay!" Oz said brightly. "You can just grab my hand. I'll won't let you fall behind."
Gilbert stared at him in amazement; then he started laughing, and once he started, he couldn't stop.
Oz pouted at him, puffing out his cheeks. "What's so funny? I'm being serious here."
"No," said Gilbert, "it's nothing." He reached up and ruffled Oz's hair. "I just can't compete with you, that's all." Oz tilted his head, his mouth forming a confused little 'o'.
Gilbert leaned over to the coffee table to retrieve his cigarettes; he noticed as he lit one that his fingers trembled, just a little. "All right," he said, blowing smoke through his lips. "Then I'll do my best to keep up."
But as he saw Oz's responding smile, he wondered if 'keeping up' didn't mean he would have to let go of that hand, instead of holding on. If it did - well, he would probably fail.
