DBH Drabble-a-thon! Come play!

[glymr]

THE DRABBLE-A-THON is officially CLOSED to new prompts!  But feel free to respond to existing prompts!  I've made a list of all unfilled prompts here, please let me know if I missed any!

It's time for DRABBLES!  What is a drabble?  A drabble is a short story of exactly 100 words.  It might sound hard, but the challenge is part of the fun!

Tonight is the last night of Hanukkah and the first night of the Drabble-a-thon.  Like Hanukkah, it will last Eight Crazy Nights!  It officially starts at 6am Pacific Standard Time, December 9, and will last through 5:59am Pacific Standard Time on December 17th (for the rest of December 17th I have another fun thing planned, which I will announce in a day or two).

To leave a prompt for the drabble-a-thon, just make a comment to this thread.  Please try to keep prompts for drabbles to one or two words or a short sentence (your prompt shouldn't be longer than the drabble, after all!)  If you have a prompt for a massive AU crossover or something, it would probably be better to stick it on the DBH Kinkmeme.  Feel free to also prompt for specific characters/pairings!  Rarepair prompts would be awesome!  All ships are welcome on this comm, so if a pairing doesn't float your boat, feel free to ignore that prompt and go to the next. :)

To fill a prompt, please reply to the prompt comment.  You can either post directly into the comment box, or post a link to the fill on AO3. 

There might be a small prize for the person that fills the most prompts, just to make things extra fun. :)

P.S. If your drabble is NSFW, please note such at the beginning or post at AO3.  :)

i bent the rules and wrote a triple drabble because i started then discovered i am incredibly out of practise at short format writing - whoops!

Nila worked enough undercover vice assignments as a rookie to know places like the Eden club getting their licenses pulled didn’t mean they stopped trading, just that they went underground. There were a lot of anti-android bastards eager to take out their frustrations on androids that had been isolated from Detroit’s wave of deviancy.

“Stuck?”

The comment comes from Gwen, a GW300 unit retrieved from the evidence locker and reactivated after the revolution. GW series androids were private security but whatever Gwen had been securing, she’d awoken with an unnervingly comprehensive knowledge of Detroit’s underworld and a tendency towards sticking her nose into DPD business that led to her being registered as an official consultant because the captain felt it better to give Gwen reasons to stay where they could see her.

Nila’s not sure why Gwen is here, but she’s right.

Nila’s had the files a day now. They need someone on the inside but ordering any DPD android to do what an assignment like this would involve turns Nila’s stomach.

Gwen socialises with the DPD androids, maybe she’ll know a candidate.

The expression on Gwen’s face when the transfer completes is… startling. Her smile is always more of a baring of teeth and the others put it down to a design flaw but Nila isn’t so sure. She’d had tried to find out what case Gwen had been evidence for once, but the information had been locked down so tight it made her suspicious.

Especially when Gwen says, "I'll do it for you.”

It’s outside the remit of a consultant and Gwen must have her own reasons for volunteering, but she’s also far more confident in her deviancy than any of Nila’s freshly awakened rookies and Nila won’t need to assign anyone if she has an informant.

“Deal.”

Believe me, NO ONE is going to complain at getting more fic! LOL There have been several even longer fills, much to our collective delight. :)

Oooh. I love this interaction! Good name choices, and you did a lot of world building in only three hundred words. It packs a punch!

Thank you so much for joining us! Let me know if you have any questions. ^_^ We're glad you're here!

Thank you! Especially for the world building remark - i think part of the reason this turned into a triple was because I started then realised this was a lot of au to squeeze into a drabble but I liked the idea too much to tone it down :)

Oh man I love this so much! I love the world building you put into these 300 words (and getting a triple drabble is tripple the joy!) and how much you developed both of them. Also, I absolutely love Gwen as a security android who just decided for herself to stick her nose into police work. She will go wherever she wants to go and I adore it. I'm also incredibly intrigued by her locked-up-tight backstory.
