Drabble, Drabble, Toil and Trouble

Proclamation of Drabble Day
Remember those crazed 24 hours we had a year ago and a bit?

It’s drabble time again, darlings! Forget your elaborate plots and drawn out characterisations. We want 100 words doled out at a time, short and sweet – and this time, as clichéd as you can possibly be. That's right – this year’s drabble fest is all about those time-worn tropes we love so well. Each hour on the hour, we’ll post a new trope and/or cliché for you to drabble the heck out of. What you do with that trope is up to you: indulge the cliché to your heart's content, blow our brains by turning stereotype on its head, or just go with the ever-welcome crack option. And because we’ve spread ourselves across fandoms like a more-lethargic pyjama-clad vodka-swilling version of The Blob, this year we’re accepting drabbles about any characters you please.

Just 100 words for Stiles to convince Derek that sharing body heat is the only tried-and-true cure for hypothermia.
Or 100 words to express Tara’s confusion when amnesia makes her forget the steps to The Red Shoes.
And crossovers are allowed too, for instance if you wanted Lizzie Bennet to show off her tentacles to Kaylee or Lady Crawley. In – you got it – 100 words.

( Since it’s been a while since we had one of these, please take a look at the rules as a refresher. )
