Is the world ending? Who's gonna throw the party?

*peers out from under her thesis-shaped rock* So I hear there's a volcano? In Iceland? Doing things? This is nuts, you guys. It doesn't seem like anyone has died, and I hope I haven't gotten that wrong. All planes are canceled in Stockholm and the air space is closed, because apparently it's incredibly dangerous to fly through volcanic ash. Here's hoping it stops soon, because danger and chaos and the ashes being potentially lethal for people who are seriously ill and they're coming right at us, guys, they're already over Sweden. CRAZY. Also, I'm supposed to leave for the US in a month and I want to see my little sister graduate. It's an extremely minor concern in the grand scheme of things, but I love my sister a lot and I want to be there. And compared to the Haiti earthquake and the Chile one, this is decidedly minor. Obviously. Still, a little nuts.

So. I would like to offer ficlets, because I want to think about other things. I'm going to do the first five prompts I like, which may or may not be the first five that appear, because what I can write right now is a little limited.

Theme: post- or pre-apocalyptic scenarios WITH HOPE. Interpret that as you will. Pairings or gen are fine. Bands/fandoms I can write: Mikey, FOB, Bob and Brian (they're a subset of fandom, right?), The Like, Panic/The Young Veins (even if my Jon voice is nonexistent), MSI, others possibly. I can also do Veronica Mars, DCU or BTVS, though the last two feel like cheating since it's not like they've never done the apocalypse thing before.

Prompt away!

ETA: I am done! Five, er, seven ficlets.

Pete/Patrick. Pete and Patrick stumble across a group of fortified, thriving humans after the holocaust of the zombie pandemic. It's run by the Way brothers and its almost as weird as the wasteland outside the walls. Naturally they fit right in.

This one would have been fascinating, but I'm pretty sure it's a longfic setup that someone should write so I don't have to! It's a fascinating idea. ♥

I'll probably end up writing it. Cuz its not like I dont have lots on my plate or nothin' *SIGH* I had to get it on...something before I lost it though because your whole...optimisitc apocalypse? Totally inspiring. *smishes you and your brilliance*

IDK if you're still doing them might asks for"Pete/Patrick when they first find each other again after a zombie pandemic" instead?

I'm done, actually! I wrote seven ficlets in completely random order and then I got tired and today I'm all about the thesis. But I suppose you can have the most important lines:

"Pete. Pete."

"Hmm?"

"It's a little hard to walk."

"I can't imagine why."

"Maybe because you're sitting on me."

"I lost you once, I'm never gonna lose you again, and you're all short, so maybe if I let go--"

"PETE. First of all, so are you, second of all, I'm not going anywhere, third--what are you doing?"

"Handcuffs! The perfect solution to all our problems."
