The Ramblings Of A Creature Of Hobbit

Okay so the format is different this year and the prompts are all about colours, with this one being red. So here are some icons of my favourite redhead, Supernatural's Rowena Macleod:

Any, any, remember me, think of me/picture me, never forget me/you must remember me (Legends of Tomorrow, Nate/Zari)

Zari knows what it was like for Nate to arrive in Zambezi in 1992, confronted with an Amaya who had no memory of the time they spent together, and yet she knows she has to do the same, has to erase the timeline where she joined the Waverider in order to save him.

Yet she also cannot bear to think of a future where he will not remember her, will continue to tour history without remembering that Zari Adrianna Tomaz was such an important part of his own.

Now as Nate takes in the Zari at her father's birthday who is so different from the Zari he knew, who has no idea who Nate Heywood is, he is determined that one day she will remember him.



any, any, lying without lies (Pretty Little Liars, Charlotte)

The man who had called himself her father had visited Charlotte once not long after she was admitted to Radley, started talking about how he had genuinely believed her deceased for all these years.

As Ali had also tried to defend him, Charlotte nodded along, pretending she was taking it on board, knowing all along she was never going to forgive that man. He may have told his stories of believing her dead, of believing she had been trying to drown Ali, without the intention to lie, but they were lies, lies which had kept her apart from the life that could have been hers for so many years, and when she finally got the hell out of Radley, he wasn’t gonna know what hit him.


Any, any, kingmaker, oathbreaker (Game of Thrones, Littlefinger)

Littlefinger laughs to himself as he pretends to go along with Eddard Stark’s plan to install Stannis on the throne of Westeros. His suggestion of installing Renly in the (certain) event of Joffrey proving unsatisfactory was also something he had no intention of carrying out; weak as Renly may be, he still would not allow Littlefinger to achieve his ultimate goal of being the power behind the throne.

With Joffrey still too young to rule, Stannis absent, Renly too weak, who else would be able to pull the strings other than Littlefinger himself?


Historical RPF, Any, Alternate Universe- Daemons (Richard III and the Princes in the Tower)

He knows that people are beginning to talk, to question what happened to his nephews since he claimed the crown, yet Richard knows he would not be believed if he ever told the story of the daemons who had swooped down, carried them off before his eyes.

Many still lived who remembered the days of King Henry, knew what it was to live under the rule of a king who was insane, and if Richard ever spoke the truth, it would be the end of the House of York, a return to Lancastrian rule once more.

On Bosworth Field, he soon learns that it would have in fact made little difference to his eventual fate.


Any, Any, "This was supposed to be fun" (Supernatural, Rowena, alt!Charlie)

Although the intention had been to get the hell out of there, to shut the door on hunting, on her previous world, Charlie hadn’t been sure that she would have a good time.

But Rowena had been persistent, insisted to Charlie that their road trip was supposed to be fun, had taken her to places Charlie had never been to before in her old universe, correctly guessing that she wouldn’t want to see her old haunts as they were in this one.

And much to Charlie’s surprise, she did find herself enjoying the trip.


Any, any, reasons I’m still alive (Roswell New Mexico, Rosa)

She thinks of Jim Valenti, technically as her biological father one of the reasons Rosa Ortecho exists at all, who had tried so hard to help her get clean; that guy is the reason Rosa never ended up with the drug fuelled death everyone thinks she had back in 2008.

She thinks of Noah Bracken, although she doesn’t like to think of him since he was the one who originally killed her in the first place, he had preserved her in that pod thing allowing Max the opportunity to bring her back.

And she thinks of Max Evans, who had sacrificed himself to bring her back, to do that one thing for Liz; she had never approved of him for her sister, but he’s done the one thing she can never repay.


Any, any, you are a vile old woman (Harry Potter, Harry and Umbridge)

There had been so many times –when he, Fred and George got banned from Quidditch, when Hagrid was put on probation – that Harry itched to look Dolores Umbridge in the eye and tell her she was a vile old woman.

As he stood in the witness box when she was brought before the Wizengamot, he couldn’t help but remember his own trial, several years before, when Umbridge had repeatedly called for his conviction, conveniently ignoring the fact that she herself had summoned the Dementors he had to justify using magic against.

Yet he chose in the end to state the facts to the inquiry, leaving his personal feelings towards the woman unsaid; the life sentence in Azkaban which she was expected to receive was enough for him now.


Any, any, "maybe I was brainwashed, but that still doesn't mean I need you to fix me" Riverdale, Kevin/Fangs


There was a time when Kevin Keller thought that a reunion with Fangs was what he wanted.

Now faced with the possibility, Kevin realises he needs time to be single, to work on rebuilding his relationship with his father, to regain the trust of his oldest friend, to come to terms with his unresolved feelings around his relationships with Joaquin and Moose.

Maybe one day he and Fangs could reconcile; but right now Kevin doesn’t need to be in a relationship with him, he needs to focus on himself, to come to terms with his brainwashing by Edgar and Evelyn Evernever, to get back to being Kevin again.


Any, any, “don’t worry, you’re with us now” The A List, Zac

“Don’t worry, you’re with us now,” Amber had said the day Zac had asked her to take away all feelings he still held for Kayleigh, allowing him to accept her relationship with Brendan, to still be best friends with him and not care about it.

Now Mia and Alex have woken them all, and Zac remembers the year of memories Amber erased from them all, remembers his relationship, the way he had felt when Amber had influenced Kayleigh to believe she loved Brendan and not him, he knows that allowing Amber to brainwash him, to be part of her inner circle, was the wrong decision.

Kayleigh’s having a hard time with the fact that he chose to be influenced to forget her rather than to fight for her, the things he and Brendan had said to each other are still fresh in his mind, and Zac wishes he had turned his back on Amber, and chosen to stay with Harry, Alex and Mia, the “us” who would have actually helped him.



Any, any, mirror universe The Flash, Iris

Iris thinks she can kind of understand how Eva had given up hope of ever escaping the mirror universe after six years, but she’s determined not to do the same.

As she watches Barry in their apartment watching TV, she’s sure that something has changed since Eva repaired the broken mirror, that they had weakened it somehow, that there will be a way they can get back home.

Barry can sense her there, she’s sure of it, and it won’t be long before she escapes the mirror world and returns to him.


Harry Potter, any, regrets (Percy Weasley)

Maybe he should have been in Slytherin, Percy wonders, after his desire for power at the Ministry of Magic, his determination to rise within the ranks of the Ministry, had blinded him to what was important.

He knew his family, knew now that they wouldn’t have believed Harry’s tales of Voldemort’s return if they didn’t think they had good reason to, and he knew Harry too, had known him for years as his brother’s best friend, had never had any reason to see him as a liar, an attention seeker, any of the things the Fudge and Umbridge regime had made him out to be.

He still had the opportunities to rise at the Ministry under Kingsley Shacklebolt’s new regime, although he now questioned whether he deserved them, but he would never have the opportunity to get those last three years with Fred back again.



Any, any, the end of the world is overrated (Supergirl, Kara and Lex)

Lex Luthor laughs it off, minimises the time they spent together at the end of everything, before Oliver Queen had saved them all and created Earth-Prime, acts like the end of the world was overrated, asks what did it matter when they had all been saved in the end?

When Lex says that, Kara wants to punch him even more than she usually does; she’s already lived through one end of the world with the destruction of Krypton, and now she’s had to face the end of her world here, and even though everyone she cares about is here on Earth-Prime, it’s still not Earth-38, it’s still the end of the world she knew. What right has that man to talk about the end of the world as though it was nothing?



Any, any, when engineers are bored The Big Bang Theory, Howard Wolowitz

Howard Wolowitz always used to say that he came up with his best ideas for inventions when he was bored.

His friends, however, would beg to differ. From the sex robot (which had prompted Leonard to ask if Howard had never watched Buffy, because the character called Warren had come up with something similar ages ago) to the robotic hand (the less said about that, the better), they had come to the conclusion that when Howard was bored was exactly the wrong time for him to try and invent anything.

Supernatural, Any, Angels Cause Indigestion (Sam, Jack, Castiel)


“Seriously?” Sam half groaned, half laughed as he watched Jack doubled over, clutching his stomach. “I thought I was done with this when we got out of Alaska and Dean finally got rid of all his food intolerances.”

“I did try to warn him he shouldn’t have listened to Billie, Sam,” Castiel replied, “and I know he thinks it’ll help him defeat God, but angel hearts have never exactly been a recommended food source and can cause indigestion when consumed in excess.”


Supernatural, Rowena/anyone, "That wasn't supposed to happen" (my one true crossover Rumple/Rowena!)

Rowena had never intended to fall in love with the Dark One; love is a weakness, and the Dark One was only meant to be a bit of fun for her; he understood her, they shared ambition, he helped her develop her powers.

Yet now she hears that Rumple is claiming to have found his soulmate, some milk and water creature going by the name of Belle, someone who sounds like she’s nothing compared to Rowena, she realises that she has fallen for him, that she and not this Belle should be his soulmate.

“Damn you, Rumple,” she says, “that wasn’t supposed to happen.”


Batwoman, Kate, Mary, Alt!Beth, (giving the author free reign of whatever they want to write)


It was all Kate had wanted, a chance to have Beth back in her life; Mary has known this for as long as she has known her.

Now there’s a version of Beth back in Gotham, even if not the same one Kate had grown up with; and Mary does like her from all the time she’s spent together, finds her a lot easier to deal with than Alice.

Yet Mary can’t help but worry about what this will mean for her own role as Kate’s sister.


The Walking Dead, Daryl &or/ Carol, The Last of Us

Sometimes it feels strange to Carol to look back on the time when this all first started, to think of the people who had been with them at the start, but were with them no longer.

Sometimes she and Daryl will talk of Rick and Lori, of Shane, of Carl, Andrea, Dale, Glenn, although Carol does not speak of Merle; whatever she may have thought of him, he was still Daryl’s brother.

If she had to pick someone to be with her now, at the end of everything, Carol would have always picked Daryl.




Any, any: ordinary person in a world of gods & monsters. (Legacies, Alaric)

He was never going to have an ordinary life, not when he was co-parenting witch twins with a vampire, his best friends included vampires and witches, and he ran a school for witches, werewolves, vampires and most recently a phoenix and a fairy.

And he could understand why people had thought that maybe Vardemus, rather than himself, would have been a better choice as principal of Salvatore School; what, after all, could a regular old human like Alaric Saltzman know and understand about his pupils as opposed to a witch principal?

But faced with the support of Kaleb, MG, Landon and most importantly Josie and Lizzie, Alaric realised that actually it didn’t have to matter that he was a human in a world of the supernatural, that it was more important that he wanted the best for his students, and they all understood that.


Any, any, flower crowns (The A List, Amber)

Amber smiles to herself as she admires the way the flower crown looks against her hair, listens to Kayleigh talking about how the crown was simply made for her.

She wonders how Kayleigh would react if she were to restore her memories to her now, if Kayleigh realised that the Amber she was fawning over now was actually Midge, who the very idea of being declared queen at the party last year had caused Kayleigh to laugh behind her back.

She thinks back to the way everyone had treated her the year before as the red mist falls before her eyes, as she watches friend turn on friend, feeling finally that she is getting revenge on those who disregarded her a year ago.



Any, any, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (Manifest, Lourdes/Jared)

The tradition had never meant anything to Lourdes; yet at her wedding to Jared, her family started panicking about the fact that she didn’t have something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

In the end, she’d argued that her dress was new, the family heirloom engagement ring she was wearing was old, her earrings were blue, but she resisted their attempts to offer her something borrowed – it was just an old superstition and everyone knew it.

Then Michaela came back from Flight 828, back into their lives, and as Lourdes watched Jared pulling away from her, back towards his old love he had believed dead, she understood that her groom had been her something borrowed after all.



Any, any, discovering fanfiction (First fill: Supernatural, God)

At first God was annoyed when he became aware of the fan fiction written about Sam and Dean Winchester; HE was their creator, and who were these people who thought they could play with their lives, give them any other destiny than that which God had chosen for them?

Although he had to admit he’d taken it quite well when he watched that school performance of their Supernatural musical; while their writing was never going to rival his, they were kids, and for kids it wasn’t a bad effort.

As God read through some of the fates that people had dreamed up for Sam and Dean, he found that he could actually take his hat off to some of these writers for some of the things they came up with.


Second fill of same prompt: The Fandom book series, President Stoneback, Baba

It began with just a few changes here and there; he now had memories of his rise to power that he never had before; new characters would appear, and President Stoneback wondered how the time loop was finally fracturing.

When he discovered that a writer calling herself “AnimeAlice” was posting her own works of fiction about the Gallows Dance, the story of Willow and Rose, Baba, Ash, Matthew, Saskia, and even Stoneback himself, he realised that this Alice held the key; if he could find a way of getting her here to introduce her to life among the Genetically Enhanced Men, maybe there was a way of changing the ending to one where his people, the Gems, won.

Stupid man, Baba thinks as she watches him prepare, she didn’t need her precognitive powers to see it coming a mile off that he would never win; he could bring his writer here, but she would do whatever she could to prevent a happy ending for the villains.
