Vacation

Title:  Vacation
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Holmes, Mycroft
Summary: Holmes asks for a vacation. (July Amnesty Prompt 01)
WordCount: 554
Prompt: Amnesty 01 ~~~ Begin your prompt fill with one of the following:
Icy pavements and oblivious pedestrians were not ideal conditions for active pursuit of a criminal.
Mr. Mycroft Holmes was not appreciative of being roused from his slumber a full three and one-half minutes prior to his customary seven o'clock a.m.
"While I appreciate your defending my honor, to do so against three gentlemen twice your size errs on the side of foolhardiness."
Author's Note: The amnesty round started and with it starts a new arc for my bigger story! All amnesty prompts (plus July 31) are connected to one part which belongs to my overall July story. The new arc even starts with this prompt.
Thus this takes place after Call my Name.

Peace and Quiet

Title:  Peace and Quiet
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, Holmes
Summary: Watson and Holmes make a little excursion in peace and quiet. (July Amnesty Prompt 02)
WordCount: 335
Prompt: Amnesty 02 ~~~ Railway, white, snake, jump, sandwich.  Use all five words in your fic.
Author's Note: Nothing special; I just got the idea immediately after reading the prompt and had to write it like this. And after this long month of torture Watson deserves a little rest. ;)
Takes place after Vacation.

Wrong Decision

Title:  Wrong Decision
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Holmes, Watson, bad man (the same from Blood Revenge)
Summary: Holmes realizes that he made the wrong decision. (July Amnesty Prompt 03)
WordCount: 452
Prompt: Amnesty 03 ~~~ Pivotal plot point, aka The Road Less Traveled.  Take a scene, either from a known canon or one of your own stories, and re-write that scene into an AU, with one or more characters making a radical change from their previous behavior.  Show how one decision can swing the pendulum completely the opposite direction.
Author's Note:This one was quite difficult, as I do not have soo many stories to choose from. All my July prompts are connected so it was impossible to take a scene from those. I choose now my older story Guns, which was my entry for the WW challenge 03 (thus pretty old stuff). I changed a little bit with the situation, but generally kept the same scene - hope it is okay like this. Happens after Peace and Quiet; for the exact time look at my Master Post later (*nudge nudge*).

Rest of the World

Title:  Rest of the World
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Holmes, Watson, Mycroft, Lestrade, Gregson, Mrs. Hudson
Summary: The rest of the world can't let go of Holmes and Watson, even while they are on vacation. (July Amnesty Prompt 04)
WordCount: 310
Prompt: Amnesty 04 ~~~ Epistolary fic, post-it note style.  Write an epistolary fic, but each portion of the fic can only be a line or two long; the amount of words one could fit on a post-it note.  Whether you want to use text messaging, scraps of paper, table napkins, actual post-its, or whatever, the bits can only be a sentence or two at a time.  If you want to do an art post, with actual sticky notes, then by all means go for it!
Author's Note: This one was quite fun and I made it funny, too (can't torture Watson the whole time - not always at least XD). This one takes place after Peace and Quiet (or even maybe while that one) and stretches over a longer period of time (maybe a week or two?) Tried to be funny and I hope you get a laugh out of it. ;)

Furious

Title:  Furious
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, bad man, Holmes (a bit)
Summary: Watson prefers words, but sometimes he accepts action, too. (July Amnesty Prompt 05)
WordCount: 219
Prompt: Amnesty 05 ~~~ Actions speak louder than words; ergo, breaking someone's nose is a much more effective means of communicating than verbal riposte.  Use that however it inspires you.
Author's Note: Just a short one and I took the prompt almost by the word. ;) This one will make more sense if you read the amnesty fills in the chronological order. As I had all prompts I was able to better plan and connect these, so they may appear a bit more confusing than the original 31 July prompts. Just reread it after you read one of the later fills, which happens directly before this if it is too weird. So far this takes place after Rest of the World.

Warmth

Title:  Warmth
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, Holmes
Summary: Watson awakes in endless warmth. (July Amnesty Prompt 06)
WordCount: 425
Prompt: Amnesty 05 ~~~ Gratuitous and shameless H/C/Schmoop.  Cosy firelight, fuzzy slippers, hot tea, fleecy blankets, small gestures, kittens and unicorns, whatever brings out the schmooper in you.
Author's Note:I hope this is schmoopy enough for you. :) *sigh* Now I want to cuddle my kittens... Or plot bunnies, whatever I am able to catch. *gets her bait, net and traps* Hmm, weird, where are they? *does not see the small shaking and hiding shadows beneath her furniture*

Btw, this takes place after --- ehm, what have I posted so far ... --- Buried Alive. I can't wait for my chronological Master Post. ._.

Siberian Tiger

Title:  Siberian Tiger
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, Holmes, bad man
Summary: Watson falls prey to an old hunter. (July Amnesty Prompt 07)
WordCount: 603
Prompt: Amnesty 07 ~~~ Playing in another sandbox.  ( see hidden prompt description )

Author's Note: Many, many, MANY thanks to KCS for allowing me to use one of her stories for this prompt. Generally I love all her stories, but trying to connect something with my story I remembered this scene from her story Tiger, Tiger (@ff.net as I only know it's location there, hope it's okay that I use that link). I built my fill along her original, even taking some sentences from her (but changing them a bit so they are not exact copies). I hope I did it okay and am able to honour her great story rightfully. As you can see even my title was inspired by hers. :)
I can only recommend reading KCS's story (and all her others, really), because they are really awesome! Thanks, KCS and keep going! You are one of the best. *hugs*

Totally forgot - this happens directly before Furious!

Snowy Death

Title:  Snowy Death
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, Holmes, bad man
Summary: Holmes has to fight to protect Watson - and loses. (July Amnesty Prompt 08)
WordCount: 538
Prompt: Amnesty 08 ~~~ Natural disaster and its consequences.  Whether that's flood, hurricane, forest fire, earthquake (San Fran, 1906, anyone?), volcano, or whatever - use a natural disaster in some way.
Author's Note: This one was a DISASTER itself. ;( I started it and had it almost finished, but then I re-read the prompt and realised that I did not have a natural disaster. I had a disaster caused by a human, even though it was something natural. So I started to re-write the story, finished it again and I DID NOT SAVE IT CORRECTLY! AAAAHHHHHH! I lost the whole thing! ;_; I still had the old (wrong) version and was able to rebuilt the story (again), but sadly it did not turn out good. I hope it is acceptable as a natural disaster, I was unable to change it, because I had already planned all amnesty prompts around it (as it was visible in Buried Alive, which happens after this one, btw) and after losing the story I really had no energy to try something else. *sniff* I beg your forgiveness if it does not completely match the prompt, but I hope it is acceptable...

Alone

Title:  Alone
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson
Summary: Watson is alone in his snowy tomb. (July Amnesty Prompt 09)
WordCount: 100
Prompt: Amnesty 09 ~~~ Rhyme.  Crackfic or not, true poetry or not, your entire fic must in some way rhyme.  You may waive the 100-word minimum for this prompt.
Author's Note: My FIRST drabble! YES! And it was just a coincidence. ;) I wrote the thing and then counted the words and BAM - exactly 100 words without trying. ^^
It is nothing fancy as I can't write poems, especially not English ones. I used an online generator which gave me words which rhyme to the one I entered - e.g. meaning I wrote the first sentence and took the last word coldness and entered this into the generator and the generator gave me a list of words which rhyme to coldness. This way I got boundless and created the second sentence and so on.
It may sound funny to you, but I am almost completely unable to make English rhymes. My pronounciation is almost completely wrong as I mostly read/write/listen to English, but I myself never speak it. E.g. I speak breath like breathe and thus never realized that breath rhymes to death. ._. And on the other hand I just can't think of any words. xD Even though I know all the words, I just did not get them when I thought about it. :b
Thankfully I found the generator and was able to create this little piece, I even like it (even though it is quite simple). :D

This takes place after Buried Alive.

Eternity

Title:  Eternity
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Watson, Holmes
Summary: Watson and Holmes share a moment of Eternity, when a beginning and an ending meet. (July Amnesty Prompt 10)
WordCount: 551
Prompt: Amnesty 10 ~~~ Alpha/Omega - write a fic in which there is a beginning of something, and an end of something.
Author's Note: This is it - the last of my fills.*sniff* I am going to miss this - it was soo much fun. But I am a little happy about it as well, because it was pretty stressful and it was very difficult and restricting to connect all these prompts. I know that the connection between most of the prompts is very small, but it was the best I could do.
This is the real end of the story and happens after Warmth. Do you miss me QUERY is some kind of a little epilogue, but can be ignored. This piece here is really intended to be the end.
And a cookie (or catnip *hint*) for those who find the little extra I included. ;)

But now it is time for me to leave the stage - I hope you enjoyed the show! *bows*

July&Amnesty Writing Prompts ~ Master Post#1

This is the first Master Post for my fills of the Watson's Woes July Writing Prompts Challenge + the Amnesty Prompts.
