There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.
This Week's Question: Share your favourite crafting tip, if you have one.
If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

Rating: PG

Summary: Ryo had thought he wanted an evening at home, but Dee has a better idea.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Double drabble.
Arriving home from a tedious day in court, all Ryo felt like doing was taking a hot shower to ease some of the tension from his muscles, then collapsing on the sofa to watch some mindless TV. But when he entered the apartment, he found Dee all done up in tight jeans and an emerald-green shirt that matched his eyes. He looked good enough to eat, and Ryo perked up a little at the sight.
“What are you all dressed up for?” He made no attempt to hide his appreciative appraisal of Dee’s appearance. “Going somewhere?”
“Yep! You and me are gonna paint the town tonight. I know ya probably wanna collapse in front of the TV, but that’s not what ya need after spendin’ all day sittin’ on those hard benches, waitin’ to testify. Ya gotta move around, loosen yourself up, or ya gonna be stiff as a board come mornin’. Trust me on this. I put out a change of clothes for ya on the bed. Hop in the shower, then get dressed. I’ll be waitin’ for ya.”
Ryo felt a smile forming on his lips, all his weariness melting away. “Give me twenty minutes.”
“You got it.”

Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 36 [DW Edition]
Sep. 7th, 2025 08:10 am↑↑↑ Available dates:
September 9 & 11
September 16 & 18
[Lonely Prompts Week]
September 30 & October 2
Good morning/afternoon/evening, and welcome to this week's Lonely Prompts adoption day. :3 If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this option here.

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection.
If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site: please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site, but you are still more than welcome to participate. =)
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
A friendly reminder about our posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed.
