Yes, our promptathons roll around again, as (semi) reliably as birds migrating.

So, once again it's the time for the Most Romantic Mini Promptathon Of All.

Or platonic. Or full of badassary. Doesn't have to be romantic. Your choice. We welcome ALL!

Timeline
Now (Tuesday, February 7th - February 14th midnight eastern: Prompt! Prompt ALL THE THINGS!
February 14th to February 21st (midnight eastern): Fill those prompts like you've never filled prompts before!

Theme
Prompts: All things Valentine's Day or love (romantic or otherwise!) related. Friendship? UST? Developing romantic feelings? Badass mission that just so happens to involve obnoxious heart-shaped candies? Excessive consumption of pink cupcakes? Living down by that rivier in Egypt or AoU-compliant? Alternate universes featuring singing elephants dressed as cupids? Post-Civil War reconciliation? All are welcome here!

Prompting
Prompts go in the comments to this post. List each prompt as its own separate comment.

Fills
Fills: Post your fill, or a link to your fill - be it fic, art, a video of you preforming an interpretive dance, etc - as a reply to the prompt comment. Please don't post your fanwork separately to the comm, otherwise b_c might explode from the squee. We'll also create a masterlist post updated as fills come in, so rest assured that everyone will see your work!

Please include title, rating, and appropriate warnings in the subject line of your fill.

Prompts may have multiple fills, please give love to your fellow creators!

FILLS CLOSED. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this promptathon so great!

I only ever read the first Dresden book - you're making me want to go back lol.

AND WHAT IS THIS???

One can never have enough Harry Dresden. This is one of my personal laws.
Or Jim Butcher in general, really - not sure whether I want the next Dresden book or the next Aeronaut's windlass book more.

What, Stephanie Plum? You've never heard of her? Series of books by Janet Evanovich (the first one became a movie with Katherine Heigl. Objectively, it really wasn't bad). They all have number titles, so it's easy to tell where you are in the series. Stephanie always has crap cars because she's always semi-broke; it's now an official running gag that she never has the same car at the end of a book that she does at the beginning, because they keeping getting destroyed. One of my personal faves is the first car her pal Ranger (half Cuban, half black, 150% badass) loans her - a Porsche that crashes into a garbage truck and then the bomb goes off. Also the truck that gets taken out by a bazooka.
The books have gotten a bit formulaic since the mid-teens or so, I think, but they're still good screwball comedy. Start with One for the Money

I totally agree on the Stephanie Plum series -- fun, screwball, easy reading comedies. I need to catch up on the last couple of them.

My favorite scenes involve her taking Bob over to Joyce's house to do his business. And the time Bob got dog-napped and orchestrated his own rescue by getting sick in the car -- I had to put the book down I was laughing so hard.
