measured_words | Prompt me!

I have an unexpected afternoon free - seems like a good time for a prompt meme!

How about another alphabet drabble challenge, then? Give me a fandom/character/pairing and a prompt for the letter of your choice and I'll write you a drabble! eg: L is for Love, Night Vale, Cecil/Carlos

Any fandom I've written before is fair game - you can look at pretty much the full list here on my AO3 page (click on expand fandom). If you want me to try something else, feel free to ask and I'll let you know whether I think I can manage it. I'm sure I have other things tucked away in here that haven't made it to AO3. Original stuff is also fair game.

A - Adventure, Diablotin, Sanadhil/Arek/Dozilva. Filled!
B - Bedtime, Return to Night, Hilary/Lisa. Filled! (heh)
C - Care, Revolutionary Girl Utena. Filled!
D - Double, Night Vale, Cecil. Filled!

C is for Care - Revolutionary Girl Utena

(hopefully this makes sense - it has been a while since I've seen it now!)

Touga chuckled. "A prince should care about his princess shouldn’t he?"

"A prince should be noble and caring," Utena countered cautiously.

"Of course." He smiled over her shoulder at a trio of passing girls. Utena could hear them dissolve into gossip and giggles. "Can a prince have more than one princess though? Would it be noble to pass by someone else in need of saving because he has already done it once?"

"A prince should help whoever needs it, but his princess is special."

"How would a girl know, then, if she'd met her prince?"

Utena huffed. "She would know."

Ha! Curiously, I was thinking of requesting "princess", since it's a term the show doesn't use very often, but P was already taken by Pirates. So you managed to fill my unspoken original prompt as well.

I love Touga's reasoning, and equating romance with rescue. That really is very him.

Prompt me!
