Prompt Post (Summer Round)

[hokuton_punch]

PROMPTING IS CLOSED!

Prompting Guidelines

• Please post only one prompt per comment. You may leave as many comments with prompts as you want.


• Prompts may be as general and broad (e.g., "snow," "everyday adventures," "fluff," "secrets," "gift-giving") or as specific (e.g., "a cover of the Marathon: Infinity theme that is exactly 3 minutes and 14 seconds long and uses only kazoos and banjos") as you would like to make them.


• Explicit/kinky prompts are welcome! Please put "NSFW" in the comment title of explicit/kinky prompts.


• Prompts are ideas for other people to use, not requests; not all prompts will have works created for them, and that's okay.


• Please respect others' prompts. If you see a prompt you don't like, you don't have to create for it; just choose prompt(s) that you do like/that inspire you.


• Prompts from the previous round may be reused, whether or not they were filled.

After prompting closes, the mods will freeze comments on this post and go through the prompts. Depending on the number of prompts, we will either use all of them and divide them into seven groups in order to have a variety of prompts for each day, or we will number them and use a random number generator to select prompts. If a prompt is not chosen as one of the official prompts, you can still use it for inspiration.

Have fun and shower us with prompts! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Rules Post or message the mod, hokuton_punch.

Durandal & Tycho during "The Big House," either Marathon 2 or the Infinity versions

Any AI ship: Wireplay with either an AI using the wires like tentacles OR wires as an erogenous zone for AIs

[general_radix]

Durandal (either as an AI or android) has to physically help a battered Security Officer back on board.

[general_radix]

The history of AIs (optional: and android vessels) in Marathon. Bonus points if you work in Rubicon's account of Traxus IV.

NSFW

[general_radix]

[Retry] (Inm.-specific) After a few difficult hours in the gym, Vince decides to help Durandal relax and unwind with some lovemaking in the showers.

[general_radix]

Meta stuff involving the Cortana Letters: post-Infinity, the SO gets found by Cortana and mostly agrees to partner up with her because she reminds them of Durandal (and is perhaps hoping that in doing so, they'll find him again).

[general_radix]

Tycho's clones are non-sentient helper programs by design, but in this scenario, Tycho has a chance meeting with one who became their own individual. (Nobody dies, but I imagine it's not a happy meeting.)

[hokuton_punch]

An alternate Infinity timeline where the security officer is sent on a mission with still-enslaved S'pht and has to struggle with the constraints of pretending to be conditioned (or actually conditioned) into obedience to Tycho & the Pfhor

[(Anonymous)]

Bernhard Strauss makes a grand reappearance at the most awkward time: when Durandal and Tycho are fighting over something

[(Anonymous)]

unexpected affection

[juzo_kun]

When Manus Celer Dei came back to Earth, the SO was with Durandal, and he has a bunch of contrasting thoughts about this.

[juzo_kun]

Durandal asked "why do you always do what are you asked to"? at a certain point.
And yes... why?

[hokuton_punch]

Day Off

[juzo_kun]

Is Strauss dead? Probably.
Is there some pattern buffer salvaged by one of the fleeing crews? ...maybe.

[weakinteraction]

Daily life on the Marathon while it was in transit to Tau Ceti. (AI bickering a plus.)

[general_radix]

The SO and Durandal come across the rusty, cobweb-choked remains of an AI core; they get to work seeing what, if anything, was left behind, while Durandal tries to hide his unease.

[hokuton_punch]

Battleroids: history, making of, use of

[general_radix]

(Mostly Inm.-specific) An alternate timeline where the companion (Enkidu/Durandal) reincarnated as often as the Eternal Hero and Dark One.

NSFW

Alien gangbang (can be Pfhor/security officer, S'pht/security officer, S'pht/an AI, whatever inspires you)

[hokuton_punch]

The garden from the "Kill Your Television" unformatted terminal

NSFW

[general_radix]

Android!Tycho/SO hate sex, or at least angrily making out (must be consensual).

[wllw]

Durandal and the Security Officer bump into aliens from a different sci-fi canon.

[hokuton_punch]

Crossovers and fusions

[(Anonymous)]

Any ship (or gen): one character has to admit they aren't okay and another character taking care of them

[hokuton_punch]

Alien religion (rituals/ceremonies, buildings, music, anything)

[(Anonymous)]

Infinity is just the W'rkncacnter playing with all the characters to see what happens when it mixes them up

[wllw]

Durandal meets the Jjaro.

[hokuton_punch]

The security officer on Tau Ceti

[general_radix]

Alternate setup to Rubicon's Tycho Plank where, after being contacted by Tycho, the Security Officer goes straight to Durandal, and the three of them figure out what to do (after Tycho stops grumbling about it).

[hokuton_punch]

Scars

Tycho the Bad Advice Columnist

[hokuton_punch]

Alien beach vacation (bonus for unexpected Pfhor-on-holiday encounters)

[(Anonymous)]

Person of Interest fusion

[(Anonymous)]

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles crossover (or fusion)

[hokuton_punch]

A day in the life of the Pfhor garrison on Lh'owon

[cloudwrack]

Tycho tries to get Durandal’s attention by sending the SO a series of gifts (optional: these gifts get increasingly weird as time goes on). Durandal, predictably, is less than pleased.

[general_radix]

Durandal and the SO finally break into a Pfhor black site. Turns out they vastly underestimated how awful things are there, and Durandal's attempts to keep it together slowly break down.

The security officer goes with Blake and the BoBs in M2

Groundhog Day/repeating time loop AU

[(Anonymous)]

Security Officer back story. Body horror optional but definitely OK.

[weakinteraction]

Durandal's long term goals are agnostic about whether the Security Officer survives. And yet the Security Officer always seems to be involved in the methods he comes up with to achieve those goals.

Will Durandal update his parameters or not? (Perhaps he's confronted by some external stimulus that highlights the contradiction?)

[hokuton_punch]

The AIs have a friends-date during the journey to Tau Ceti
