Another release, though this one is different. A series of fifty prompts, all under a thousand words. More accurately depicted as flashshots or flash fiction, these will cover Older!HopexLightning, most romantic, some angsty, others fluffy and sweet. They are chosen from a list I have created and will be released on Thursdays and Mondays. Some of the prompts have special meanings, and should be looked up. At the end, I will likely include the definitions of the special ones.

Ratings will vary from K-T. Unless otherwise stated, Hope will usually be eighteen or up. This will likely be the longest note throughout the series, unless something comes up. Thank you to all who read, review, favorite, etc.

Onward!

13. Warm Glacier

Lightning Farron was a woman of tough standards and stoic faces. It wasn't unusual to walk away from a full length conversation with her saying a total of ten words or less. Her friends and family felt a chill about her, and strangers were left standing barefoot on slippery, hard ice.

Yet, Lightning grew accustomed to the cold that waved off her. It was better to be strong, cool, and impenetrable to the world. She would never feel the sharp sting of disappointment if everything about her had numbed from cold.

Hope Estheim was an unforeseen opponent. One that could hover over her without succumbing to bitter frost. He'd lean on her for support and offer his own in return, often in the form of spells and warm words. No matter how many times she pushed and yelled and glared, he stuck to her side. It was as if his skin had glued to her ice.

And when she began to smile more, or laugh and worry for his safety, and especially when she fought to preserve his life, she realized what he was to her. What she had become because of him.

Even Lightning Farron could melt if the sun hit her just right.
