Prompt Ideas
I need them.
No kidding, my brain has failed me. I have a billion ideas for my Star Trek fic,,, just none for my Royal Pains one. I am in desperate need for some prompts.
HELP A FIC AUTHOR OUT
If you haven’t read them already, @royalpainsandsuch has two WIP RP fics going over on AO3 - the Hank-gets-drugged one and the Hank character study one (which SHUT UP just posted a new chapter I have to go read!). Send in your prompts!
@jadziana @renuka13 @redlibrary @onenewphoenix
Okay, first off THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I honestly love the cooking and the background check ideas - in fact, I’m going to run with them. It’s going to be amazing, I can feel it. I’ll even start writing tomorrow!
And for the Star Trek AU, I was planning on making that into a full fic because there’s no way my Trekky heart would let me leave it at 1500 words or so. I actually have most of the AU planned out. Although, I’m struggling on how much from the show Royal Pains I should put in there - the characters obviously, but which ones and to what extent? No clue.
I’m actually on spring break for the rest of the week and hopefully that will give me more motivation to write and I can get a lot done before school drags me under again. Although, I recently got Song Vegas Pro 14 for my laptop (which is for video editing and is like a god to me,,, I have no clue how I was able to get it) and it’s 100000% above my comprehension level. I’m attempting to use YouTube videos to help me understand, but it’s slow going. Hopefully, with enough practice, I’ll be able to start making Hank/Boris video edits again - but no promises.
Weeee prompt ideas, let´s see ( I guess you mean the harmless stuff that´s not “adults only”? ooops ). I have been thinking about writing some Bones/RP crossover for ages. Brennan turns out to be one of Boris´ ex-girlfriends ( some loose stuff for a few months that was basically having some fun only for both of them ) and the guest house goes crazy and everybody wants to take a look at the woman who managed to get Boris. And she throws some private information in their faces, like you know, Brennan style. And Evan goes like “oh god, I can never look in his face again” .
Another ones is: Boris wants to take Hank on a new adventure trip to Tibet and it´s all very top secret and stuff and Evan and Paige manage to sneek in on that ( Evan is the usual nuisance and Paige just gets dragged in ) and they end up doing the trip together. Which of course sucks because all preparations were made for two, not for four. And Evan whines all the time about this and that and Boris is constantly in the edge of getting really angry with him. When they finally arrive at that legendary monastery the Lawsons find out they had been smuggling medication for the monks and Boris is doing all kinds of stuff to help them. And because he is a sucker for kids, he plays with the novices in the river getting wet all over. And there´s some talk about Boris´ family members serving frequently as knights of St. John.
And some less developed ides:
1. Hank gets drunk ( or Boris gets him drunk ) and it turns out he can´t handle alcohol very well.
2. Hank nearly drowns and Boris safes him, calling him “the worst swimmer I have ever seen”.
3. Nurse Boris turns out to be “EMT Boris” because he got taught by the military. That comes in extremely handy as HankMed is currently short of staff.
4. Shadow Pond has secret passages, hidden rooms and all kinds of stuff like that and Evan, Hank and Boris get lost in them, making a few unexpected discoveries.
5. Hank invites Boris and Marisa for barbecue and there´s another guest who goes completely fangirl mode on Boris because he/she knows exactly who the noble is and the whole evening get´s really strange and uncomfortable.
6. Carlos interacting with his godfather calling him “uncle Hank”.
7. Boris´ mum showing up at SP and Boris being all formal and calling her “Lady Mother”.
8. Boris and Marisa finally have their religious wedding. Europe´s royalty attends and the Lawsons too get invited. And find themselves in the middle of priceless jewels, gowns and all kinds of crazy.
9. Marisa wants to learn German so she can say her weding vows in Boris´ mother tongue. She takes lessons in town, of course without Boris knowing. Evan sees her there saying goodbye to her teacher and thinks she´s cheating on Boris. All kinds of crazy things happen, while Evan desperately tries to keep the wrong secret while being totally afraid of Boris. Chaos unfolds.
10. Boris is addicted to chocolate.
11. Some official addresses Boris with “Your Imperial and Royal Highness” and everybody just stares with their mouths open while Boris is all casual about it and shrugs it off.
12. Boris sympathizes with Divya because he too was trapped in an arranged marriage when he was younger and he too bailed out of it.
OHHHHH MY GODDDD I LOVE EVERYTHING?????!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!
Drunk!Hank would be hilarious, EMT!Boris would be HELLA AWESOME, Shadow Pond absolutely has secret passages and hidden rooms, LOVE everything with Marisa but especially Marisa learning German <3, anything with royal!Boris is awesome, REALLY LOVE Boris sympathizing with Divya, and THE TIBET ONE!!!! Boris playing with the novices!!! I may actually cry at my kitchen table right now oh my god.
And to add onto the fun, here are some fic ideas I’ll probably never get around to writing:
- 7.07 Boris creates an online dating profile to anonymously seduce “HamptDoc17″
- Boris and Hank are soulmates who have been reincarnated countless times over the years, always torn apart right when they find each other again. Boris’s curse is that he always remembers their past lives; Hank’s curse is that he never does. It’s all very tragic until they break the cycle and live happily ever after.
- Anastasia AU. Boris doesn’t remember that he’s the ruler of his country. Dima is in charge while the long search for his half-brother continues. Milos wants to kill Boris before he’s found so that the throne will pass to Milos. Hank just wants to treat the country’s poor. Enter Evan with his best idea yet - find someone they can pass off as their lost ruler so they can get the massive reward, Evan can have anything he desires, and Hank can keep treating people basically for free without worrying when they’ll have their meal.
I just love the soulmate thing. Don´t know where this prompt came from, but I read several stories from different fandoms with this prompt and it still works for me.
Oh and I have another one:
13. Emma earns some extra money by leaking inside pics and info about several Hamptonites. How much money would she get if she sold some juicy pieces about the Hamptons most wealthy and most exclusive resident? Unfortunately the guy in question can get really dangerous when his privacy is violated.
I LOVE ALL OF THESE IDEAS - although I know for certain which ones I’m going to leave for you two to write because I always love it when you both write fanfiction! The privacy thing with Emma actually seems like it could happen in the show and the Bones AU sounds like so much fun! Although, I must admit, I’ve watched a solid 3 minutes of Bones…
Along with the soulmate idea that I see a lot is the Sentinel AU idea, which I think is amazing. I actually figured out where the idea for the AU came from: The Sentinel, a late 1990’s American TV show. Anyways, long story short, I could definitely see Boris and Hank as a Sentinel and Guide. I’m not sure who would play each role, but I’ll get there lol.
Bringing this thread back because I promised myself I would write royal pains soon
