Prompt #64

There are aliens in your backyard.

Apparently it’s a family and they are on their way to a vacation in another solar system, but they must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. They ask you for directions (you can’t help). You ask them, if they want to come inside for a coffee (they do).

Prompt #63

A: „You can’t team up with C!“

B: „Why not? C is totally harmless.“

A: „They tried to kill you. Twice.“

B: „Yeah, but that has been months ago. It’s history. They won’t harm me now, right C?“

C: ...

A: ...

B: „Alright, C, let’s go!“

Prompt #62

You lived a perfectly normal life. Then you started to remember things, impossible things. You remember them clearly. You remember magic, you remember flying. You remember dying.

Prompt #61

The League of Supervillains sends one of their lesser known members undercover. Said member poses as a superhero to infiltrate the Superhero-Team. And they succeed.

However, the villain has accidentally made friends among the heroes while undercover. They never had friends before. (Among the villains there are no friends, only allies as long as they have a common goal and after that nobody is surprised to get stabbed in the back (literally and figuratively)).

Therefore, the villain doesn’t want to betray his first friends, but neither can they tell them the truth. And if they betray the League of Supervillains, they soon will be right on top of every villain’s to-kill-list...

Prompt #60

There is a fairy that has been born without wings. To still fulfill their dream about flying like the other fairies, said fairy decides to risk entering a very strange and dangerous world: the world of the humans.

Prompt #59

When the antichrist, the devil’s child, is born, the devil feels something, they haven’t felt in a very long time: love.

So instead of starting the apocalypse (like they are supposed to do), the devil takes their kid to earth, where they live a happy (albeit not really normal) life.

If only the angels would stop trying to fight them...


Tags

Prompt #58

You are a villain.

Of course you are. Nobody ever cared about you, nobody ever helped you. Since you remember, you had to fight to survive. You learned early, that you had to rescue yourself, because nobody else would come for your rescue. Survival of the fittest was the only rule you ever learned.

So when the hero, your archenemy, saves your life and is injured in the process, you don’t understand.

You don’t understand why...


Tags

Prompt #57

You may be a villain, but not one of the really bad ones. You are actually just a low level thief.

However, you somehow accidentally acquired some kind of super-weapon, made to destroy superheroes (and everything in a 10km radius around them). Since you kinda like this world, you can’t risk this weapon getting in the wrong hands. So you look for a save way to destroy it.

Would be easier, if not every supervillain and superhero were after you (or more precisely: after the weapon).

Prompt #56

So apparently your time machine is broken. You just wanted to go back to the sixties. Instead there are dinosaurs running around.

Prompt #55

People were talking about the creature haunting the forest.

They were telling children stories about the monster of the forest, who would come for the kids, if they weren’t well-behaved. They were speaking about the ones, who went into the forest and came back pale as the dead, talking about the inhuman creature, who they nearly didn’t escape. And they were whispering about those, who went into the forest and never came back.

You hear the rumors and the stories. You know that most of them aren’t true. But if their belief, that you are a monster, will keep them out of your forest and away from your family, then you are just fine with it. And maybe you scare the few people, stupid or brave enough to go into your territory, to keep the rumors going.

Prompt #54

A lot of superheroes keep their identity a secret by acting differently in and out of costume.

So what happens, when the superhero-team finds out, that the supposedly grumpiest, unhappiest and most silent hero is without his mask a real sunshine?


Tags

That’s a really good idea, I didn’t think of that.

I would say, the villain-version of the hero gets thrown into the hero‘s original universe.

(They are propably trying to reach world domination there. Now that everyone seems to think, that the villain is a hero, said villain has a really good opportunity to fulfill their evil goals. However, even though their archenemy is a villain in this universe, too, they are still trying to stop them.)

(The archenemy doesn’t know, why the hero suddenly went dark side, but that‘s not okay. So they have to stop the hero-turned-villain, because what kind of villain would they be, if their archenemy achieves world domination before them?)

Prompt #50

A hero gets thrown into an alternate universe, where they are the villain. Then they save the world together with the alternate version of their archenemy, who is a hero in this alternate universe.


Tags

Prompt #53

You are a supervillain. You also have been de-aged due to a failed experiment. However, that will not stop your evil plans.

...If your archenemy would just take you seriously. (No, you are not cute, you are very dangerous and you will destroy this city, so if the hero could just stop looking at you, like you were some kind of puppy, that would be great.)


Tags

Prompt #52

„So you are not really a demon?“

„Of course not!“

„Good. If you were a demon, that would be very scary... But if you‘re not a demon, how do you explain everything?“

„I‘m the devil, obviously.“


Tags

Prompt #51

You die. But instead of going to heaven or hell or any other form of afterlife, you just wake up and you remember.

„So, how did you like our new simulation?“


Tags

Prompt #50

A hero gets thrown into an alternate universe, where they are the villain. Then they save the world together with the alternate version of their archenemy, who is a hero in this alternate universe.


Tags

Prompt #49

When you woke up in the morning, your biggest concern was your next exam.

Now you are currently arguing with a ghost (who already told you four different stories about how they died), while running away from a demon and you are maybe the only person, who can stop the apocalypse.

And you haven’t even had lunch yet.


Tags

Prompt #48

A soulmate story, where you can hear every laugh of your soulmate (even if they are on the other side of the world).


Tags

Prompt #47

You are a witch and you took the wrong potion. That‘s not good. To your defense: the potions look all the same.

Anyway, now you are a frog and have to find someone stupid enough to kiss a frog. And that’s why you sometimes hate your life...


Tags

Prompt #46

„What are they doing?“

„Fighting, obviously. I mean, they are archenemies and the villain is trying to destroy this city.“

„Yeah, I get that. But why are they exchanging parenting tips?“

„I think, they just both like talking while fighting. And apparently their kids are roughly the same age.“

„Okay, weird...“


Tags

Prompt #45

A hero and a villain are a couple. They both know, that the other one is a hero/ villain and have accepted this. They still love each other and want to get married.

The only problem is, that their friends (who are mostly heroes and villains, too) really don’t like the idea of ‚marrying the enemy‘. And maybe the couple should have been a little bit more considerate regarding the seating arrangement for the wedding (whose idea was it to let two archenemies sit at the same table???)...


Tags

Prompt #44

All your life you had these stories inside your head. You even published several book series playing in different fantasy worlds. Of course you just thought you had quite the imagination, until suddenly a bunch of characters from a few of your books burst through a portal in your living room.

Apparently the stories have been real all along and they were memories from former lives.


Tags

Prompt #43

When you left home and went to college your allergy started to akt up. Which was weird, because you are only allergic to dogs and there are no animals allowed in the student dorm.

Now you find out why: your roommate is a werewolf. You probably should distance yourself from said roommate. It would be the reasonable thing to do. And your allergy is really unpleasant.

However, you never said, that you were clever and you do like your roommate...


Tags

Prompt #42

You are a pagan god. You also have recently adopted the antichrist.


Tags

Prompt 41

There are aliens that can possess humans and control their bodies and minds. Somehow these aliens managed to possess every superhero in the world and they are using their superpowers to destroy humanity.

Now the last hope are the supervillains, who have to save the world from the heroes.


Tags

Prompt #40

In a world where everybody has one superpower, your power is a little bit unhelpful...

Okay, the thing is: you can talk to cats. Which sounds cool, but cats are not really communicative. They don’t have a real language (only a few simple words) and most of the time they don’t want to talk to you (and they never want to listen to you).

How you still saved a bunch of people with superpowers like super-strength, super-speed and flying, well, that’s an interesting story.


Tags

Prompt #39

You tried to summon a demon. But apparently you messed something up, because instead of a demon a hellhound appears.

Well... you always wanted a dog.


Tags

Prompt #38

When a person, who is important to both the villain and the hero, is kidnapped, villain and hero have to work together in order to save them.


Tags

Prompt #37

Everybody is born with a name on each wrist. On one side is the name of your soulmate. On the other is the name of your worst enemy.

You have the same name on both wrists.


Tags

Prompt #36

You are the spouse of a superhero. Therefore, you get kidnapped by their archenemy quite often.

Your first kidnapping was terrifying.

After the third kidnapping you started talking to the villain (who is surprisingly polite).

Now you and the villain know quite a lot about each other. And you managed to convince them that handcuffs are really not necessary (the villain has superpowers, many security guards and your spouse will come for you sooner or later - so you are not stupid enough to try to flee on your own).

The superhero is very confused, when they come for your rescue and find you drinking tea with the supervillain.
