This morning on the 'Ship What You Like, Pair Who You Please' Facebook page, someone reminded us that last summer, Tychesong offered a drabble a day prompt list. Quite a few stories were posted to and AO3 as a result; perhaps some of your favourite authors took part.
I was glad of this reminder because I'm itching to write, but am stagnate with anything I've got in the works. I happily took this on as a challenge to myself. It's a prompt a day, but I can't promise I'll provide a prompt each day.
I hope you like this first one; the prompt was flambé
Tendrils of smoke rose from the hedgerow. Man and a boy stood, surveying the damage.
"We won't tell your mother, okay?"
"She'll figure it out, you know."
"True, but by the time she does, I hope to have figured out—"
"Bribery again, eh, Dad?"
"Worked the last time, son."
"What worked the last time?" called a woman's voice as it came closer.
"Erm, nothing!" called father and son.
"Severus, Ezra; what did you flambé this time?"
Silently, they pointed.
"A matching diamond necklace and earrings this time, my loves," said Hermione, smiling at the gobsmacked look on their faces.
