Day 2: Daydream (not quite a daydream… but it still counts XD) (this one is partially inspired by one of Freedom’s and Zemira’s)
Ship: Fynnsta (I don’t have a good ship name yet XD)
Fynn and Callista
“You know I love you,” Mother says, tucking a strand of Callista’s hair behind her ear.
Callista nods. “Yes, Mother. I love you too.”
Mother places a hand on Callista’s cheek. “You are so precious, Callie. Your worth is so much more than you could ever imagine.”
Callista smiles, leaning into her mother’s touch. Mother wraps her arms around her and envelopes her in a hug.
***
“Callista, where is your mother?” Father asks, grabbing Callista by the shoulders.
She shakes her head, tears sliding down her cheeks. Father looks up, his gaze darting around the chaos, searching for his wife. His eyes suddenly grow wide and he lets go of Callista, running into the fray of the battle.
“Father!” Callista cries, starting to run after him. Her brother pulls her back.
“No, Callie.”
Callista struggles against his grasp, but gives up, knowing he won’t let her go. Through the smoke and the rushing of the frantic people, she catches a glimpse of her father… kneeling down, over a still body.
Fresh tears spring to Callista’s eyes. No, it was impossible. There was no way. She escapes her brother’s hold and runs towards her father, weaving in and out of the throng.
No.
It wasn’t who she thought it was.
She wouldn’t let it be.
She reaches her father. He looks up at her, tears streaming down his face. Callista catches one look at the face of the woman before her father pulls her into a hug. “Oh, Callie,” he cries, hugging her tightly.
Callista drops to her knees, collapsing in her father’s lap. “Is she gone?” She murmurs softly.
Father doesn’t answer, only hugs her tighter, his sobs increasing. Callista’s world came crashing down on her and she buried her face into Father’s chest. No longer did she hear the screams of the frightened people, the gunshots, or the yelling of the soldiers. She only hears the sobs of her father… the crying of brothers… her own weeping…
And the silence of her still mother…
***
Callista shot up, a cold sweat on her forehead. Tears well up in her eyes and she buries her face in her hands. It happened years ago, but the pain was still there… it still hurt… so much…
She let her tears fall, trying not to wake the others. But she didn’t succeed. She heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see Fynn walking towards her in the moonlight. He sat down next to her. “Are you dreaming again?”
She let out another sob and nodded, falling into Fynn’s open arms. He cradled her gently. “It still hurts so much,” she said between sobs.
“Sshh, sshh,” Fynn said, rocking back and forth, squeezing her gently. “It’s going to be okay. God sees you. And He’s holding you right now, just like I am.”
She felt her weeping slowly subside as he let her cry.
“I’m right here, Callie,” Fynn said softly. “I’ll always be.”

Day 5: Heartbeat
MCs: Wanda and Bucky
SCs (Side Characters): Lexi and Patrick (their kids)
Guys, I’m totally in love with this couple XD and honestly, it took me a while to figure out the heartbeat prompt but I think I came up with a good idea XD
Wanda lifted the spoon to her lips and smiled. It tasted delicious, cooking was a specialty of her’s and she got to test her recipes on her family.
“Mommy!” Lexi ran over to Wanda, Patrick was right behind her. “What’s for dinner?”
“Food,” Patrick said with a grin.
Lexi replied with a scowl. “Will you be my patient?” Lexi looked at her mother.
Wanda looked at the toy doctor’s kit that her daughter was carrying and smiled. “Have you done Patrick already?”
“No, he said playing doctors is for girls,”
“It is!” Patrick’s face then lit up, “I want to be a soldier, like Daddy.”
“Ugh, I hate playing soldier,” Lexi stuck out her tug.
Wanda laughed at her two crazy kids and then took a seat on the couch. “Alright, then Doctor do your best work.”
Lexi pulled at the toy stethoscope and held it to Wanda’s heart. Lexi made a clicking noise and then looked at Wanda. “Your heart sounds amazing!”
“Well, I’m glad for that,” Wanda smiled at her daughter and turned her head to see Bucky walking through the door.
“Dad!” Patrick was the first to reach Bucky, but he was immediately followed by Lexi.
Lexi jumped into her father’s arms and held the stethoscope to Bucky’s heart, and made the same clicking noise. “Your heart sounds great too,”
Bucky smiled and then kissed the top of his daughter’s head.
“Now it’s your turn, Patrick,” Lexi walked over to Patrick with the stethoscope in her hand.
“No way!” Patrick ran out the back door, but Lexi chased him.
Wanda walked over to Bucky, his smile has faded and he looked sort of depressed.
“Well your heart might be okay, but you’re not.” Wanda put her hand on the side of Bucky’s face and looked into his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Bucky shook his head, “I just got in my head today,”
“You do realize you’re talking to the person who can literally get inside of people’s heads.”
Bucky let out a short chuckle and then sighed. “I just wonder how long it will be before the next Thanos, I mean what if something happens to you or Patrick or Lex-”
“Hey, don’t think like that, nothing will happen to us.” Wanda couldn’t stand to listen to this kind of talk.
“Isn’t that what we thought about Tony, Natasha, or Vis-” Bucky cut himself off.
“Or Vision,” Wanda finished Bucky’s sentence, as she held back tears. “We’re husband and wife, there’s nothing in my past we can’t talk about.”
Bucky smiled at his beautiful wife, he loved her. He loved his children, but most of all he loved his life. “Okay,” Bucky kissed Wanda, and they both smiled.
Wanda leaned her head on Bucky’s shoulder and listened to his heartbeat. “Your heart is doing even better now.”
“How do you manage to make me love you more and more every day?” Bucky asked, wrapping his arms around Wanda.
“I’m not sure, but you do the same,” Wanda held on tight to Bucky, she loved him, he was her husband and the father of her children.
They both loved each other, more than anyone could ever understand.

Doing day 7 because it looked fun! This isn’t just the prompt, this is a actual scene from my second book. Curious to know what you guys think! I’m pretty happy with how this turned out, it’s the best thing I’ve written in a long time 😊
Layson reaches out for Olivia’s hand, gently squeezing it. He smiles, shedding his coffee cups sleeve into a nearby trashcan. Warmth travels through the paper cup, burning against his skin. He takes a sip, relishing the bitter taste of black coffee.
“You’re awful quiet, Liv.” Layson smiles, trying to brush a stray hair out of his eye without removing his hand from Olivia’s.
Olivia nods, pushing up her round glasses with her free hand. “Yep.”
Layson loosens his grip slightly, and Olivia stuffs her hand back into her hoodie sleeve. She looks down, watching their shadows gently waver over the polished floor.
“Can I tell you somethin’?” Liv pushes her glasses against her nose, leaving a small indent. She quickly tidies her bob cut hair with a nervous wave of her hand.
“Anything.” Layson takes another sip of coffee, slowing down to keep pace with the short girl by his side.
“I uh—” Liv pauses, nearly stopping in the middle of the hallway. “Let’s sit down over here.”
Layson swallows another sip of coffee, following her towards a cute red bench to the side.
“I just—I really love you, ok? I want to say that first—” Liv settles into the side of the bench.
Layson swallows another nervous gulp of coffee, his eyes flitting between Liv’s red glasses and their reflections on the floor. He nods for her to continue.
“I—I think what you want to do is great—it’s part of why I like you so much—” Liv pauses, her voice quivering. “I think it’s great that you have all these big dreams—and all these things you want to do and places you want to see—but I don’t think I’m ever meant to go with you.” Liv brings her sleeve up to her face, holding back a sniffle.
“Liv—You’re just the person, I mean—” Layson pauses, his eyes softening at the sight of Liv trying to hold back tears. “Why would you say that?”
“Well—” Liv pushes up her glasses to wipe her eyes. “I like being at home—I like to study—and do all kinds of things—but I don’t think traveling is one of them. I tried to convince myself for awhile this was ok—that either you would grow out of it, or I would grow to like it—but I don’t think either is the case—I want to stay here, and you want to leave—and—”
“Liv, It’s true that I want to go all those places, and it’s a big dream of mine, but being with you is so much bigger than that—”
“Layson—” Liv looks up at him. “I know it’s what you want. So—you should go have it. Find somebody who wants it just like you do.”
“These are just dreams, Liv—you said it yourself. I don’t have to complete all of them.” Layson sips his coffee again. “Maybe it’s all silly, really—”
“—it’s not silly, it’s your passion. A passion as strong as yours doesn’t just leave overnight.” Liv tries to smile through her tears.
“I-I can’t go alone though.” Layson tries to take another sip of his coffee but finds it empty. “You’re right—I have all these things I want to do, and places I want to see—but I can’t do it alone.”
Layson looks up, his eyes locking with Liv’s.
“I’m really sorry Layson, I wish I could help you—I’m doing what I think is best for both of us.”
Layson bites down on his straw. “You actually—”
“—I’m sorry.” Liv gingerly plucks herself from the bench. “I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
Layson bites harder on his straw, resisting the quiver rising in his throat.
“Y-yeah. Thanks—” Layson presses himself into the side of the red bench, suddenly feeling so small. He watches as Liv turns, her skirt twirling around her. The sound of her flats tapping down the hallway fades out, mixing with the throng of people. Layson’s eyes blur over the sight of the crowd, all the happy smiles only mocking his own failure. Tears well up in his eyes, but he refuses to blink. Layson gets up slowly and crunches the paper cup in his hand. He turns around, looking down on the little bench.
Red bench,
Red glasses,
And a quirky smile to fuel you for days.
Layson smiles in spite of himself. He slings his bag over his shoulder, which suddenly feels much heavier than usual.
Does the bag feel heavier—
–Or do I just feel older. Maybe the latter.
Layson keeps his head down as he walks down through the crowd, his mind spinning.
I thought this was all going wonderfully—I had the next chapter of my life all planned out.
And just like that… It’s all gone.
What am I even doing?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
@freedomwriter76 @zemira
Thanks!!
I just reread that and I noticed that when I was writing in present tense, I switched to past a few times, and when I was writing in past tense, I started with present. 🤣
Aww, so cute!! I never would have even thought of Wanda and Bucky as an AU ship!
@mineralizedwriitngs
I love that!! They do stay together, right? Because just from this scene, they sound perfect for each other. ☺️
