Uhhhhh This last week's requests! disadvantage of setting up a long q is that uhhhhh sometimes you forget to post the request screenshots that go along with the weeks posts.

so anyway! these just finished posting.

I combined pet cockatrices and huge pets a little.

Sometimes, under magical circumstances, I get a request I have no idea what to do with, and end up writing some of my favorite prompt. It happened several times this batch, which was cool.

Text: We raise Cockatrices among other magical creatures, for their strange, sometimes useful byproducts. An unfertilized egg will blind anyone who so much as touches it for 24 hours.

Deep Water Prompt #3290

Mine is the only family that can walk among the undead, barter with the cold ones, and play diplomat to vengeful gods. Rather than sustain them, our blood will turn them mortal.

Text: Soul Bonds must be trusted, even if you hate your partner. You are one body in two parts, feeling what they feel, signal tattoos transferring with a brush of skin, a silent messaging system.

Deep Water Prompt #3288

A siren lives in the room above me. I hit men trying to scale the building on the head with my broom while she sings on the balcony, in exchange for forbidden knowledge.

Text: Being cousins with death comes with a strange curse. When someone nearby is about to die, I start seeing their face in the mirror instead of my own. Begrudgingly, I become a detective.

Deep Water Prompt #3286

We raise our cockatrices with care, but eat them before they get too big. As a child I was allowed to save just one, free to grow to it’s proper size, guard the farm and all of our lives.

Text: I sell mortality of all sorts to those who come seeking it. Often they want just enough to appear human, to bleed, or cry. Some want to meet with death for business, and need to die to do it.

Deep Water Prompt #3284

Demons are dead clever, and useful once domesticated. To make a pet of one, allow it to possess a house first. Let it calm down over a century or so, before you let it touch your soul.

Text: The last god of the sea lies rotting on the ocean floor, a final blessing for the animals to feed on. It’s a scramble for us to go harvest its bones, full of power and magic, the last of their kind.

Deep Water Prompt #3282

The prince has a Cloud Mark on his face just like mine, changing shape the longer we know each other. But reading Cloud Marks is a lost art. We have no idea what they mean.

Text: The priests have been crushing fertilized basilisk eggs into my food for years, hoping I’ll develop Death’s Sight. The fifth egg I steal from the kitchen manages to hatch. My first and only friend.

Goes with this prompt, if you like

Deep Water Prompt #3280

Doppelgangers are like vampires; they steal your visage by drinking your blood. If you survive the bite, you gain their power, and inherit the faces of all their past victims.

Text: This particular fight club is brutal, no rules and only one shady medic. But unlike most clubs, they don’t test for shapeshifters, desperate for cash and willing to lose four times a night.

Deep Water Prompt #3278

Magic runs bone deep in a host, and stays there after death. Bones left to family or friends in wills can be placed in new bodies, through sorcery or surgery, and work almost just as well.

Text: As security for the nuclear energy plant, I mostly turn away dying gods. Desperate for one more taste of such power, they will say and do anything to get me to let them in.

Deep Water Prompt #3276

Our planets and their histories are wildly similar. But where earth had dinosaurs, they had what we would call dragons. And they still do.
