@Everyone else with prompt fills - Can you please help a poor girl out and post a link to your fills in the group's Guest Prompt Submission thread? I'd love to read them, but I probably won't have the time to wade through all the pages and pages of stuff I've missed the past couple of days.

I knew I was forgetting something...

And speaking of... *waits for next prompt* 

[Tigress M]

@Sarah - Thank you for linking that! I loved the ending with not one, but two precious children.

[Reika]

@Tigress - Thank you. And yes, the second one was pre-joining. I remembered from the first conversation you have with him in Ostagar that he'd only faced darkspawn once before and that it was awful.



I figured an emissary lobbing fireballs qualified as awful.

[Tigress M]

@Reika - You're absolutely right. They're still awful after you're a veteran. LOL

@Giggles - Bob!  King Alistair needs to get him a tutor.  And a chicken and marmalade sandwich?  Is Leilana pregnant?

Do you think Duncan viewed Alistair as a sort of son?

Look a good magician I never reveal my secrets.
That could have just been Bob embaressed about making such a strange sandwich. 

I dont tell people in my family that I eat peanut butter/honey and bannana sandwichs after all.

@Collider - I believe so, at first because he was Fiona's friend (I go by the general fan consensus that Fiona is Alistair's mother) then later because he did develop a paternal affection for Alistair.



@Tigress - Personally, the "average" darkspawn stopped bothering me pretty quickly. It's the broodmothers that squick me out.

Okay, I think I got the last of the guest prompts, I'll look through them later. But for now, I present:

"The Naked Landsmeet"

“Leliana, can I ask you something?” Alistair stood in the doorway of the armory where the lovely bard was sitting and inspecting her bow.

“Of course, Alistair. Come, have a seat.” She patted the empty space of the bench beside her. When he nervously perched next to her before getting to his feet to start pacing nervously, Leliana studied him with concern. “What is wrong? Is everything all right between you and Marlana?”

“Wha? Oh, everything is fine between us. It’s just…I’m nervous about the Landsmeet tomorrow. And I could use some advice.”

She patted a strand of hair behind one ear as she thought over his comment, “If you’re worried about the outcome, you shouldn’t be too concerned. Between all the talks you had before this, plus the prisoners that were freed from Howe.” A look of disgust crossed her pretty features, “Not to mention what those awful people were doing in the Alienage, you have enough leverage to have it go in your favor.”

“No, I’m not worried about that. Well, mostly. It’s well. I know if everything goes as planned, I’m probably going to have to make a speech. And…well, how do you talk in front of that many people?”

“Stage fright, Alistair?” Leliana asked, her brow wrinkling a little in thought.

She was laughing at him, he knew it. She just wasn’t laughing out loud. He shrugged helplessly, “Yeah.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t ask Lana.”

For a moment his anxiety fled to be replaced by annoyance, “I did. She just looked at me and said ‘I don’t think about it.’”

Leliana coughed slightly. Yep, she was laughing at him. There was a gleam in those pale eyes that promised trouble as her pursed her lips in thought. “Well, I might have a suggestion.”

“What is it?”

Too blandly she said, “Imagine everyone present is naked.”

The mental image that conjured was simply revolting. “Ugh, ew.”

“What?”

“I’m not sure which was worse. Naked Loghain or naked Eamon.”

“Alistair! You didn’t have to share that.” Apparently Leliana had as good of an imagination as he did judging by her expression. Served her right for giving him that image in the first place.

He smirked, “Yes, I did. After all, you’re the one who suggested it.” He sobered and sighed, “So do you have any real advice? Since you’re used to performing in front of audiences and all.”

“All right. First of all, you need to have confidence in yourself.”

Alistair muttered, “Easier said than done.”

She gave him a reproving look, “I believe in you, as do the rest of our friends. Even more importantly, Lana believes in you. What does she say when you say something like that?”

He rubbed his forehead, “It’s not what she says, it’s what she does.”

“Oh? Do I want to know?”

“She tries to kick my ass.”

Leli grinned, “Tries? What does she actually do?”

She laughed merrily as Alistair reddened without saying anything. “Well, besides being confident, remember to breathe. The lack of air will make you lightheaded and make your anxiety even worse.”

Alistair sat down on another bench as she continued to give the basics on performing in front of groups of people. The bard was a little surprised, but gratified, to see that he was actually taking notes, though the little she could see, his handwriting was deplorable.

“Thank you, Leliana. I mean it. I’m sure I’ll forget everything by tomorrow, but I really do appreciate your advice.”

She smiled, “You’re quite welcome, Alistair. And just remember, if all else fails, imagine them all naked. Even Loghain and Eamon.”

“You are an evil, wicked woman. You know that right?” He asked before beating a hasty retreat before she could conjure up any more awful ideas.

Sorry for the delay. Not much online today. However since I'm like two prompts behind, why not stress myself with a third weekly prompt I need to write? Cough. Okay here it goes:




Alistair Week 9 Prompt Challenge: Jealousy

Not overly creative but hey...there are more forms of jealousy than just love. Think outside teh big bad box Sorry busy today, just jumping in to give the prompt. *runs away again*

Ah... Sorry [has often wondered why someone has not yet come up with some text formatting convention to represent sarcasm...]

He probably would enjoy being the only one keeping his head and being sarcastic at such a do...  I think he has a puritanical streak...

And he enjoyed the education. I think that's an important thing in light of all Morrigan's snide remarks about him being stupid. People who have trouble with their studies can't usually be said to actually enjoy the learning process.

I wouldn't call that a general concensus. 'Popular theory' is probably more applicable.

Good idea for the naked Landsmeet. I was told that myself, once, and like Alistair, I really didn't see how that was going to help.

Yeah, I was remembering being given that piece of "sage advice" myself when I wrote that. 

[Giggles_Manically]

Public speaking is easy for me.



I just pretend that the room is empty and that there is a cookie in it for me if I do well.

Just think about the cookie and I am golden.

[Giggles_Manically]

I think I can write a jealousy prompt.

Agreed. Well done. If anyone has, Leliana has probably performed in front of a naked audience... *attempts to stifle further thoughts in that direction*

I think I am very good at public speeking.

I was the only one without a written paper and delivered the longest speech in my high school graduation ceremony.
And yes, I brought up patriotism in it

I was trying not to go there.


*ponders the jealousy prompt* Hm, I have a few ideas, and any of one of them are likely to get me in trouble. Oh well.

I had to talk about why rifles were a huge step up from older guns and how they were made.
Apparently I can speak very well in class.

[Reika]

It's been a long time since I was in school, but I speak to 70+ people a day over the phones so the rare times I have to be in front of people, its not as bad as it used to be.

Was it as awesome as Loghain's landsmeet speech?

I have to take a public speaking class in the spring semester.

More of a pain, but I dont find public speaking to be too bad.

Nothing can be that awesome.

The only "public speaking" I'm comfortable with involves a karaoke machine and a few shots of Sambuca

*ponders the prompt*



Already basically did a jealousy one, so I'ma have to think here. Hmmm. Might pull a sort of prequel scene from Mistakes.
