Happy Friday! I'm Sagitta33 (LJ and DW). Today is Venus Day and the Fourth of July in the U.S. It is the day of fireworks and barbecue. If you are celebrating this day, have fun and stay safe.

Synethesia is a condition where one sense can trigger another. I had a TA in college who had this condition. He saw color with sound. I imagine my voice being the color of pink since it's my favorite color. Today's theme is about the color red. I wonder what sound would make red. You can use red literally, figuratively, and/or symbolically.

The rules are as follows:

No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut. Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name] Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Other guidelines:

You may add specifics or guidelines to your prompts. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are welcome.

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Title: From All The Spaces Between Times
Chapter: Chapter 51 - Hanging Inside Dreams and Blood
Author:

elrhiarhodan /

elrhiarhodan
Fandom: Star Wars, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars — Obi Wan Kenobi (TV), Star Wars — Jedi Apprentice Books
Characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Shmi Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Watto, Quinlan Vos, Padmé Amidala, Sabé, Darth Maul, Yoda, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, Quinlan Vos, Professor Huyang, The Force, Plo Koon, Vokara Che, Siri Tachi, Aayla Secura, Bant Eerin, Bruck Chun, Xanatos du Crion, Sheev Palpatine | Darth Sidious, Hego Damask II | Darth Plagueis, Komari Vosa, Bail Prestor Organa, Bail Antilles Prestor, Rael Averross, Nim Piana, Original Characters, Other Characters To Be Added
Pairings: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Shmi Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi & Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker, eventual Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon Jinn (we’re arrived)
Word Count: ~ 5300 this chapter
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Graphic depictions of medical torture. Sith lightning.

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Darth Plagueis needs to decide what to do with his apprentice, Darth Sidious. The man is, by all accounts, a failure.

Sidious, though, isn’t going to go down so easily. His body may be wounded, his powers diminished, but his mind is still sharp and he has put plans in motion that will bring his master down.

I'm writing a story where my main character stops his friend, a dad to a 13-ish year old boy, from purchasing some ~~anime~~ manga books because the main character knows the book series is too adult (sex, violence, both) for a 13 year old. The main character then recommends a different series because the story line is more appropriate for the age of the teen.

The story is the relationship between the main character and the dad, so this is a small piece of the larger story. But I know absolutely nothing about anime (or manga, obviously!) and would appreciate some recommendations of titles that would fit those categories.

Thanks!

ETA: I'm looking for currently available titles and perhaps where they are best purchased (a bookstore, a comic book store, a specialty shop, online?)

ETA2: I'm looking US-centric here.

Challenge 265:
TRICKSTER

a dishonest person; a person skilled in the use of tricks and illusion; a cunning or deceptive character appearing in various forms in the folklore of many cultures

Maybe he’s a con man, tricking other people out of their money or time. Maybe she’s a stage magician who can make your keys disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye. Maybe they’re an ancient being who’s been around for a very long time and enjoys playing tricks on unsuspecting mortals.

How does it go? Are your tricksters good at what they do, or could they use a little more practice? Do your other characters enjoy the experience?

Write a story about a trickster.

BONUS GOAL: “You can just call me ‘goddess’. Most people do.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 7 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 265 – trickster
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

Reading

Still on New World Witchery by Cory Thomas Hutcheson, but I'm very close to the end! Not that I've taken much time to read this week since I'm using the roommate's car to commute.
Ficwise, I'm still deep in Gradence. I think I'm starting to run out of the good stuff though, so we'll see how long until I switch to something else. Maybe the Stobotnik fics my friend sent me a couple of weeks ago lol

Watching

The roommate's out of town, so I've been watching some movies she doesn't like. So far:
- Python and Python 2. I liked Python alright, it had some fun moments and good character dynamics. The second movie starred the best character from the first movie, but they committed complete character assassination on him imo, which sucked.
- Piranha. I was really surprised by how well this one held up! I liked it a lot, actually more than Jaws, which it's very similar to.
- Dinoshark. Pretty ok, but definitely of the bad CGI variety lmao
- Bad Moon. I was expecting to like this one more than I did tbh. Really did not like the werewolf guy and the werewolf effects were honestly pretty terrible.
- Underground. Only made it 30 mins into this one before I gave up bc literally nothing was happening. They were still doing set up! And it was boring!
Forgot to say last week that I started watching some PBS Nova episodes that they've got posted on youtube. They're great to work to! So far:
- Arctic Ghost Ship, about looking for the ships of the Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. It kind of made me want to watch The Terror lol
- Arctic Sinkholes, about arctic sinkholes caused by defrosting permafrost caused by climate change. Oof.
- Ötzi the Iceman: A 5,000-Year-Old True Crime Murder Mystery, about researching Ötzi's origins and creating a replica for study.
- Ancient Maya Metropolis, about a particular Mayan city but also about the decline of the civilization as a whole. It made me miss studying anthropology...
- Ancient Builders of the Amazon, about the relatively new research into city building in the Amazon.
AEW as usual. It's fine.

Listening

Lots of radio time while I've got my roommate's car. Wish they'd play more than the same couple of songs on every station :/

Writing

I'm trying to get back to being active on comment_fic for the first time since leaving LJ. I've written three fills so far!

Happy Wednesday! I'm Sagitta33 (LJ and DW). Today is Mercury Day. Let's tackle the middle of the week with a micro-story.

All stories have a beginning (status quo, in media res), middle (conflict), and resolution (new status quo). Micro-fiction contains word counts of as little as six words to a hundred. For this first week of July, let's write 50-word stories.

The rules are as follows:

No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut. Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name] Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Sunshine Revival Challenge #1 - Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month.
Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.

I'm working my way through 25 things in 2025, and have completed the first 14, as well as chosen 2 for April to September. Which means it's time to choose the next 5, leaving 3 for the final quarter, plus Thing #1 which is simply to complete and write about the other 24 Things.

They are:

Quarter 3 - July to September

18 - Take part in the Big Butterfly Count
This runs from 18 July to 10 August and further details can be found here. Part of my plan to support wildlife.

19 - Sort out my current papers/documents
They're all filed in an expanding file, so I can find everything, but it's time to move the oldest papers elsewhere, so they can be stored but I don't need them to hand. Another of the 'I really should do this sometime' tasks, which should now get done.

20 - Sort Anchor threads
A few weeks ago I bought a box for storing my Anchor threads, so I can find the colours I want easily. All I have to do now is get round to sorting them. That is definitely a challenge, which is why I've added it here.

Half 2 - July to December

21 - Take part in the weekly Garden Bird Watch
I started this as part of 30 Days of Wildlife, and the intention is to keep going for six months, after which I will automatically continue or realise it's simply not working.

22 - Revise some German
I only have very basic German, which every so often I go back over. As we shall be on holiday in Germany next April, it wouldn't hurt to go over it again. We're on a tour, so it mostly won't be needed, but there's always buying cakes etc!

23 - Autumn Holiday
We haven't decided where we're going this year, but we'll be going somewhere, probably in early October, which is when we usually go, so I'm including this as one of my things I'm doing this year.

My full list can be found here
