1_million_wordsThis weekend's challenge comes with three parts, and I'm looking for either a banner/wallpaper/group of icons from the graphically inclined, or around 500 words from those of you who prefer to write fic.
Here's how the challenge works:
1. Do not go under the cut until you choose your picture, letter & number.
2. Choose a time of day, a letter from A to J, and a number from 1 to 10.
3. Go under the cut and find out which picture, place and random word your letter and numbers correspond to!
4. If you want a larger version of the picture, follow the link to my Photobucket account (and please let me know if you have any hassles finding it – it's all beta version there and I had a few issues making things load) and download from there. I've found as large, high res as I could for each picture, but didn't want to clog up this entry, so the copies here are all reduced in size.
5. Go forth and create! There are no time limits, and no rules (apart from those above) about what or how you create from these prompts - be as precise or as vague as you want in referencing the prompts, and if you have a picture you'd prefer to use that mine may remind you of, that's perfectly okay too!
6. Post your creation in the comments here, or if you prefer, in your own journal (or wherever) and link it in a comment, so we can find it later.
7. HAVE FUN! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you talented people come up with!

Date: 2013-03-11 05:56 pm (UTC)I Dream of You - Supernatural - Gabriel/Dean - 500 Words
Date: 2013-03-11 07:21 am (UTC)(For purposes of the challenge, I chose Twilight, E [On a Train/Plane/Ship], and 7 [Psychiatry].)
=========
The scenery outside the windows of the train blurred together, greens from the trees blending with the deep blues and purples illuminating the twilit sky, browns from the trees meeting the tans from the dirt road nearby. Without knowing how he got on the train, he knew his destination: St. Mary's Convent in Ilchester, Maryland - the place where everything started; when Sam killed Lilith there, with the final seal undone, Lucifer broke free. Destiny began turning her wheels, Sam would say "yes" to Lucifer, and Lucifer would be imprisoned once more thanks to the four keys.
But they wouldn't have known about the keys without the help of one Archangel, the one who Dean found himself missing more than he would find comfort with Lisa. The same Archangel sitting across from him right now on this train, despite Dean knowing for a fact that he was killed by Lucifer himself. This was in fact a dream, one he found himself in quite often lately. No matter how many times he rode in this train, though, Dean couldn't look Gabriel in his eyes. Gabriel hadn't wanted to face Lucifer; sure, it was the cowardly way out of this fight, but he hadn't wanted to take part. Yet Dean didn't listen, and now Gabriel is dead.
The guilt pooled in his stomach as he watched the skies darken; the pies in front of him grew cold, but he couldn't take a bite. Nausea overtook his senses as he looked from the window to each pie, knowing that Gabriel had an expectant smile on his face. Dean was the reason Dad wasn't there, the reason Gabe died, and the reason Sam wasn't there. The deeper he went into thought, that pit in his stomach, an insatiable hunger for love, family, and happiness, grew larger, no end in sight.
The train's horn broke Dean out of his thoughts and without thinking, he looked into Gabriel's eyes. Pure love, affection, and empathy shone brightly, and his smile spoke volumes. It was almost as if this look were saying that everything would be fine, he's okay, and Dean shouldn't feel bad at all. Except everything wasn't going to magically improve because Gabe isn't really here, and the look made Dean feel worse. Gabriel's lips began to move, but before Dean could comprehend what he was saying, the train entered a tunnel and all lights blinked out, the sound of the hard-working engine echoing off of the walls grew quieter and quieter until everything was silent.
Dean slowly opened his eyes from the familiar dream feeling more empty than ever. No amount of crying would fix what had happened, and he knew his grief was getting stronger. The dreams he'd been having about his former lover felt real, too real. It was finally time to seek help; a psychiatrist could aid him in overcoming this grief. Maybe someday, he could remember Gabe without this pit eating away at him, but right now, Dean ached to forget.

Fandom: The Hobbit. Spoilery for those who don't know how the story ends.
Tired feet sloshed through the shallow stream that meandered through the Shire, lazy water, as much here was lazy, never in a hurry, never in a rush to pass life by. The pipe he had lit long ago had sputtered out but he barely noticed as he gazed at the North Star high amidst the blackness above. The dark before the dawn, Thorin would have called it, but never so dark as the days they had survived together. Now, though, there would never be another dark, another dawn, another day for the king under the mountain. And Bilbo missed him.
