[#284 | Home for the Holidays] Challenge Post
Dec. 17th, 2025 10:12 pm| Challenge 284: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS |
A midsummer festival filled with dancing and flowers? A midwinter feast decorated with colorful lights? A solemn time for contemplation as the new year begins? Whatever the holiday, it’s often traditionally spent with family. But family can be a tricky topic, especially when it comes to traditions. Do your heroes have somewhere to go home for the holidays? Maybe there’s a childhood home they look forward to visiting – or maybe they spend their holidays with their closest friends, and the home they built for themselves. Write a story about coming home for the holidays. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, December 29 at 9:00PM EST. Please note that this will be a two-week challenge! • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 284 – home for the holidays • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

[#283] little bird, fly through my window (Futurama)
Dec. 15th, 2025 08:32 pmTheme Prompt: #283 - First Impressions
Title: little bird, fly through my window
Fandom: Futurama (Specifically referencing the pilot and mostly "Lethal Inspection" [Season 7, EP6])
Rating/Warnings: Very cautious Teen rating/PG-13 due to Bender's canonical suicide attempt in the pilot being mentioned.
Word Count: 679 words
Author's Note: I promise I did not intend for this to be late as it was!! My internet acted up really badly partway through the editing process (aka it cut out at least three times!!). Please forgive me here, mods. Please enjoy my humble attempt at Futurama fic :)
Summary: Hermes' first moment working with a bending unit moves him to pursue a new employer. Three years later, a depressed bending unit named Bender has the strangest job interview he's ever had by choice, with an oddly familiar Bureaucrat as an interviewer.
