Writing Prompt [WP] It’s your best fiends birthday tomorrow, but you have no idea how old they’re turning. You’d thought it would be funny to put an absurd amount of candles on their cake. When the cake is brought out, they look at you with terror and ask “How did you know how old I really am?”

Writing Prompt [WP] You and your spouse, who was of a species with longer lifespans than Humans, had expected your Soulbond to mean that the two of you would only live as long as the average Human.

Writing Prompt [WP] It was foretold that in Britain's hour of greatest need, King Arthur would return from Avalon. 3 things we didn't expect: (1) it would be after an alien invasion, long enough after that hope itself had died. (2) his knights came with him. (3) one knight was strangely.. (to be continued in post)

...strangely quick to learn new technology, rapidly becoming one of the world's top hackers in addition to being a knight.

And to clarify (sorry the prompt is so long), I just mean King Arthur returns NOT as a defender during the invasion, but after humanity is definitively conquered and people have struggle under alien tyranny for at least a few years. Maybe 1-2 generations. The trauma of the conquest is still within living memory

Writing Prompt [WP] This sword can only be drawn as a last resort, when nothing else matters. When one's own life is worth less than the cost of vengeance. When she heard word of his death, she drew it without a moment's hesitation.
