Drabble Detail
Here's another new activity we're trying here at Fox_River Fic. People expressed interest, now's the time to show it!
How it works:
We give you some prompts. You write drabbles (no real specific word length - we're not picky), we make a drabble tree.
1. The first person to respond uses the prompts, writes a drabble and puts it in the comments.
2. The next person to respond also uses the prompts, but starts their drabble using the last sentence, word, or phrase from the first drabble. (your choice) It isn't a strict rule and generally using the last sentence somewhere in the beginning is good enough.
3. The third, fourth, fifth, etc. persons, can respond to any previous drabble by using the prompts and the last sentence/word/phrase from whatever drabble they are branching off.
4. Any number of people can branch off from the same drabble. People can write multiple responses to different branches or multiple responses to all of the same drabble, so long as they use the prompts and last word/phrase/sentence of the previous drabble.
5. Use any PB characters or pairings, they don't have to follow the original drabble you are branching off. Just use the prompts and the last word/phrase/sentence of your drabble branch.
6. Example: Drabble 1 is written with the prompt "teeth" about T-Bag getting dentures and ends with the sentence: "Now he could smile properly for Pretty." Drabble 2 branches off from that and is about Lincoln losing his first tooth and starts off: "Pretty soon, Lincoln's tooth grew back but in the meantime, it made whistling difficult." Drabble 3 also branches from Drabble 1 and is about Sara trying to kill Kellerman as she gnashes her teeth, and it begins: "What she was going to do wasn't pretty, but it needed to be done." And so forth!
7. If your drabble requires warnings, please be kind to the other participants and readers and include them. Same with any spoilers - leave space and warn. Thank you!

This is our first Drabble Detail, so to make it easy, you have choices: use one or all:
Candlelight, a warm blanket, the word: "twinkle"
So come on guys, let's give it a go.
