hey look I'm stealing memes again
Here’s how it works.
◦ Pick 3 characters from my muse list, or from the canon character list below.
◦ Now pick 3 prompts from the table to go with each character.
◦ I will write three snippets, based around your picks.
If you pick from the muse list, you can add one or two others to the prompt.
(ex. My muse+your muse. My muse+your muse 1+your muse 2. My muse 1+my muse 2+my muse 3. Etc.)
If you picked from the canon list, you can request one canonmate.
You can also add a genre/tone and rating, if you prefer.
I dun care about canon/character lists, just pick a fandom that you and I share from...whatever. :V

(I'd also kind of like to see things about Edward, due to my having a lot of feelings about him too. But I'm having trouble picking a prompt. Maybe 29. Or 4)

It was just supposed to be a duel. A simple, goddamned, I-beat-you-and-take-the-program duel.
One minute he was relishing the shock on Robert's face as Blood Mephist appeared on the field. The next minute, Bolger was the one rendered mute with surprise as Mephist's final attack hit the older man square on, knocking him into a shelf that toppled over him and pinning him down. He must have surely broken something.
Dread and fear blossomed in his stomach as he heard the loud boom of an explosion, and while his thoughts were filled with prayers for it not being real, just the Solid Vision, that cold rational part of him knew that he'd been screwed over again. That he had trusted in the wrong people again. Not completely, mind you, but enough so that he'd used the card...what was he thinking?!
He walked forward. One step. Two. Three. Then another explosion threw flaming debris at his feet. Looking up brought more fear as he saw that the flames were spreading fast-this place was a fire hazard, he remembered now, how could he not, with all his complaints to Robert about working there?
Robert. Robert. Right. The guy he hurt because he was dumb enough to trust in the wrong people again. Another step. Then more debris. Another explosion. Out. Out. Had to get out. The most important thing is the survival of the self. No matter what was given up.
Really? No. No doubts. No time for doubts. Out. Had to get out. Self-preservation was the most important thing.
Not worrying about idiots who trusted in the wrong people like him and got themselves killed.
Because he trusted in me.
[Edward]
When Edward first met Ivan, his first impression was that the boy was like glass. Fragile and meant to be supported lest he fall.
Maybe it was his budding hero complex that drew him to Ivan. After all, here was someone to protect and guide, like a hero should do! Like he was learning to be! It was perfect. It was like Ivan was enrolled to the Academy just for him. Of course it would be natural that he would grow so fond of Ivan. It was natural for them to be friends over time.
Edward just forgot one thing. When glass broke, it cut. Embedded itself into your skin and wouldn't come out. And he saw that in Ivan's guilt-ridden eyes on that day, an expression showing how much he was breaking inside, what that wrong step had done to the both of them.
And Edward shattered.
ooc: haghlsdkfdsl oh god I don't think either of these two make any sense uwah this is why I don't write when I'm half-asleep
this... turned into the most incoherent FEELINGS-vomit ever, even by my standards
And that is my Bolger headcanon forever. With his stupid, skewed ideas of loyalty and what's right tangled up with massive trust issues and Faustian bargains never end well. For anyone.
And Edward is just a precious cheerleader, and I still think he has a hidden insecure streak of his own and needs all the hugs and ugh.
(uh, so yea it made perfect sense and was beautiful and oh, those boys. My heart. ♥ ♥ ♥)
FEELINGS! 8D
ALL THE FEELINGS. FOREVER!
And everyone should write Edward all the time forever because he is the the most precious little angry jerk in that entire show. Then again, my fixation on angry jerks is odd and should be disregarded at all times. XD

It always cuts Rick to the core whenever he sees Bolger in one of his fits. He doesn't understand why, really, just only that it's because his boss is supposed to be strong and fierce, like he is in his negotiations. It's hard to think that whatever he is in the outside world is just a front.
And part of Rick actually feels a little triumphant. This way, he's of use. Instead of just meekly standing behind him and holding his files, chiming in, he's here lending support. Emotional support. Whether it's stroking his hair as Bolger vomits into a toilet during the last of his hangover, or just sitting on the edge of his bed and murmuring nonsense words to get him to sleep so that he stops being emotionally drunk...or even threatening to lockdown that entire shelf of fine wines that he knows is there for more than just show...he gets to mother him. See him and comfort him in his darkest moments so he can stand strong again.
And yet there's a current of something else in his mothering. Something determined, more fierce than his usual self.
Because he knows that there's someone, or something, that made Bolger like this before. Someone that did this before him. And they left their mark. Something that Rick won't be able to smooth over or heal or replace. And it's infuriating, in a way.
But in the end, it's just one more thing to encourage him to redouble his efforts, to try. Because it's all he can do.
Because he wants to, and trying to make Bolger see that he's not looking for any benefit out of it is part of the challenge.
