Weekend Challenge: Original Inspiration!

Happy weekend everyone! In honor of our long challenge, Original Fics, this weekend's challenge will bring us inspiration from other people's original fics! At the moment, there are about 200,000+ original fics on AO3, listed on about 5,000 pages!

So give me a number (or a couple numbers) from 1 to 5,000, and I will give you a title, a summary and a list of tags taken from actual posted fics on those pages (but all three items will be from three different fics!) Hopefully one of these things will jumpstart your own creativity!

(Also, if you would prefer no explicit or dark content in your tag list or summaries, let me know! As we all know, there are a lot of ~mature fics on AO3!!)

You have until the end of Thursday** in any timezone to write 300 words or make 2 icons. I will then reward you with a drabble, an icon or some words in my own original fic I need to get back to writing!

**I'm actually going to be out most of Saturday, so prompts might be late. That said, feel free to have an informal extension on this. If you finish something, please post it, no matter when it might be!

Hmm, interesting. Now to decide which bits to use as inspiration...

One question, do we have to write original fic?

I've had so much fun with this one! I used a bunch of the tags from both for
inspiration and I think it's worked pretty well.
