Seven Days of Marathon

Prompt List:
—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)
—Tycho the Bad Advice Columnist
—temporary deaging
—Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles crossover (or fusion)
—Is Strauss dead? Probably. Is there some pattern buffer salvaged by one of the fleeing crews? ...maybe
—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
—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)
—Durandal & Tycho during "The Big House," either Marathon 2 or the Infinity versions

Prompt List:
—(Mostly Inm.-specific) An alternate timeline where the companion (Enkidu/Durandal) reincarnated as often as the Eternal Hero and Dark One.
—Any ship (or gen): one character has to admit they aren't okay and another character taking care of them
—The security officer on Tau Ceti
—Alien beach vacation (bonus for unexpected Pfhor-on-holiday encounters)
—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?)
—The AIs have a friends-date during the journey to Tau Ceti
—The security officer goes with Blake and the BoBs in M2
—5 people [AI of your choice] didn't like (+1 they did)

I hope you've all been having fun with the prompts, and if you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on this post or send a direct message to hokuton_punch.

Prompting is now closed! Thank you all so much for the prompts, and the official prompt list/schedule will be posted tomorrow, May 17th.

The prompt post is OPEN! Go forth and prompt to your heart's content.

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.
