21. daughter: Not Alone8butterflyboy8January 3 2011, 03:35:43 UTC
Time Period: Some years into the future Notes: The basic idea of this was planned while I was planning out "Secundus," actually. For those curious, Chester's the oldest, with Vincent & Lorina as twins

Time Period: Vague Present/Near Future Notes: I was gonna write something about his beloved butterflies, but then this popped in as a more interesting option. Besides, it's a valid question

7. family: Closer Than Blood8butterflyboy8January 3 2011, 06:04:48 UTC
Time Period: Vague point in the future Notes: I knew I wanted to do something about how Victor didn't feel close to his parents -- this somewhat sappy thing resulted. Miss Horrocks's name comes from one of the voice actresses on Corpse Bride -- Jane Horrocks, who did Black Widow and Ms Plum.
When Victor had been five, he’d asked his governess, Miss Horrocks, what exactly a family was. Miss Horrocks had explained that a family was a group of people who were related and who generally lived together. “You and your mother and your father are a family,” she’d said. “But you and Barry live here with us as well,” Victor had replied. “Aren’t you part of our family?” “Certainly not,” Miss Horrocks had said, almost too quickly. “We’re not related. You can only be family if you’re related, Victor.” “But I like you and Barry. Why can’t you be family?” “That’s just not how it works, Victor. Liking someone does not make them family. Family is who you came from - your blood. People whom you like are just friends. You cannot make someone family -

17. hot cocoa: Ordinary Life8butterflyboy8January 4 2011, 00:13:19 UTC
Time Period: Roughly present Notes: Nothing too special to say here. It's been cold, and I've been having plenty of hot chocolate myself (got a can of mix for Christmas, in fact), so this prompt's been on my mind since before Bingo.
3. luminaries: Inspiration8butterflyboy8January 4 2011, 00:30:39 UTC
Time Period: Very near future Notes: Yes, me with the glowing butterflies again. I LIKE the glowing butterflies. Besides, when I looked up the word and found that it meant "people who inspire" as well as "sources of light," I had to do a fic that hit on both definitions. Also, the title is a hint towards "Genius: The Transgression," a fanmade World of Darkness supplement about mad scientists that I've been interested in lately. The Geniuses are said to be filled "with the light of Inspiration."
It had to be the result of living in Secundus, Victor decided one morning while washing his face. Probably everyone who lived here and wasn’t already a Touched had dreams like the ones he’d been having lately. It was only natural, when one was surrounded by men and women who could bend the laws of physics, biology, and chemistry to their whims. Such things had to rub off on one. And it was obvious he’d be affected more than the average person out on the street. He lived with a Touched and his Igor - hell, he probably qualified for Igor status
