There are plenty of moments in the Hypnotists trilogy that live rent free in my head. Most of those moments involve the series villain. This one does not:

AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A HYPNO TRASH PARTY

Griffin: Time for plan G. Ben: Don’t you mean plan B? Griffin: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties. Melissa: What about plan D? Griffin: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt that Logan did half an hour ago. Savannah: What about plan E? Griffin: I’m hoping not to use it. I die in plan E. Pitch: I like plan E.

Logan: If I fall…  Savannah: I’ll be there to catch you.  Ben: *looks at Melissa* What if I fall?  Melissa: Then I’ll fall with you, never leaving your side.  Griffin: *watches these two interactions*  Griffin, to Pitch: And if I fall?  Pitch: I’ll be the one who pushed you.

Savannah: We’re kind of missing something guys.  Melissa: Cohesion?  Ben: Teamwork?  Logan: A general sense of what we’re doing?  Pitch: And Darren is not here.  Griffin: Oh, and that, yeah.

Savannah: You can’t have a gun on stage!  Logan: WRONG AGAIN! I can have a gun, and I must have a gun, that’s the rule of Chekhov’s Gun: have a gun. And now that it’s been seen, I will have to shoot someone before the end of the play.

Three Sentence Ficathon Roundup (To Date)

Prompting for Dreamwidth's Three Sentence Ficathon has closed for another year! Writers can respond to prompts year-round.

This seems like a good time to pause and share what I wrote while it was active. I ended up compiling most (not all) of my prompt fills on AO3, mostly (though not exclusively) with one multi-chapter work per fandom and one fill per chapter:

Brief and Strange (Stranger Things)

Flashes Through the In-Between (The Owl House)

Slivers of Shivers (The Magnus Archives; this one actually combines fills from more than one year)

Small Suggestions (The Hypnotists)

And here are my prompt fills for the Masterminds series, most of which exist as separate works because I didn't realize I'd be writing so many:

Unsustainable

I Try To Own My Destiny

Breaking Containment

Scattered Sketches (3 parts)

Life in the Fishbowl

I probably wrote more for this round of the ficathon than I did for any of the previous ones, and I had a blast! Also, if any fans of Gordon Korman's Hypnotists series are reading this post and want to respond to one of the prompts I left (1 2 3 4 5 6), I would be beyond thrilled. <3

Little Scenarios (Hypnotists/Masterminds crossover edition)

@venusdear @wh0sthe5pecial0ne some of these might interest you?

Kira and Amber become college roommates (oh my god they were roommates...) and don't know about each other's Bizarre Pasts. I am working on a fic about this right now.

One of Amber's fellow clones has hypnotic powers because their genetic donor did (and Jax and Kira learned about that person in one of their "Hypnotism! Through! The Ages!" lessons). I'm not sure which one it is, but probably not one of the core five whom we follow in the books.

This one is probably the silliest - many, many people in the real world have similar or even identical names without being connected in any way! - but the idea has lodged itself in my head and will not be disputed: Felix Hammerstrom was friends with Elias Mako, who became the namesake for Felix's adoptive son/lab rat, Eli.

Tamara Dunleavy has also met Dr. Mako at one point, because you can't tell me that he wouldn't want to add an extremely wealthy tech genius to his collection. She probably escaped being mind-whammied into adoring him by telling him what he wanted to hear anyway.

At some point, after Kira does tell Amber about her powers, Amber asks her to tag along when she and Tori meet with Tori's parents for the first time in years (in case the meeting goes sideways). Kira has very mixed feelings about this.
