Many thanks to gignutshell for writing 100+ prompts for lynnsaudersfic to answer during her recovery. And many thanks to both of them for agreeing to let me answer them too for the FFF universe. I have had no time to write lately and a bit of writer's block as well. I am hoping these short blurbs will get the juices flowing and maybe give one or two of you some enjoyment. It was incredibly generous of both these ladies to let me share my drabbles with you. Any misquoting of the original prompt is due to the fact that I was entirely to lazy to copy them word for word. There are some prompts that I am tempted to skip but I am going to push myself to answer them all as a writer's exercise. Many will be semi-biographical. Have fun figuring out which ones.
16. Who cooks?
They both admit that they don't cook as often as they should, going out or getting take out far too often. But they still enjoy their "First night in town" tradition, so Anna cooks for John on his first night in St. Andrews and John does his best to cook for Anna her first night in London, though sometimes she gets there before he gets home from work. John tends to go all out and cook fancy meals for his love, Prawns Scampi being his specialty. Anna tends more toward homey comfort foods like stews and casseroles.
17. Who is too shy to call for take out and who makes the calls?
John really only feels comfortable calling in the orders if it is somewhere that is used to his business. Sometimes, when it's a new place, the employees make a bit of a fuss over him and he feels compelled to be 'on' when he would rather just be able to relax.
18. Who starts dabbling in witchcraft?
"Do we have to watch more of these witchcraft shows?" Anna asked as she sat on the sofa and tucked her feet underneath her.
John chuckled, "Not a fan?"
"They've been giving me the creeps truth be told. What's with the sudden fascination?"
"I just agreed to take a recurring role in a show on the SyFy Channel and I'm studying up."
Anna heaved a sigh, "That's a relief. I was starting to get a little worried."
"But you aren't now?" John asked, leaning over toward her in a decidedly unromantic way.
"JOOOOOHN!"
"Remember love, I'm a verrrrry good actor!"
19. Who always turns off the lights as they leave the room?
Anna is a bit compulsive about this one. When John asked her why she cared so much, after getting in trouble one too many times, she explained that her Uncle's stock answer had always been, "Anna, turn off those lights. Do you think we're made of money?" In her teen years she had once answered, "Well aren't we?" She has never forgotten the lecture she got, nor the consequences that followed her 'snotty' remark. She's turned the lights off ever since.
20. Who plans romantic nights and whose are more spur of the moment?
John loves to plan elaborate outings and dates down to the last spectacular detail. In the beginning, Anna would remind him that such efforts weren't necessary but now she understands that it makes John truly happy to spoil her. Anna, on the other hand, has the ability to take even the most mundane moment and turn it into something truly romantic. Or so John said in his latest interview.
