I'm a masochist when it comes to prompts.  I just signed up for ANOTHER femslash prompt challenge.

Here's the source.

TABLE

3. You have come to do an autopsy and at the first excision found a beating heart. R. Erica Doyle, Proxy
4. Our bones ache only while the flesh is on them. Djuna Barnes, Nightwood
5. Then they took the last step together, and when she kissed her, her mouth as warm as summer, the taste of her sweet and clear, she knew, at last, that she was home. Malinda Lo, Ash
6. Stand and face me, my love, and scatter the grace in your eyes. Sappho
7. That conversation we were always on the edge / of having, runs on in my head. Adrienne Rich, Twenty-One Love Poems

14. I knew that I couldn't lie beside her, without wanting to touch her. I couldn't have felt her breath upon my mouth, without wanting to kiss her. And I couldn't have kissed her, without wanting to save her. Sarah Waters, Fingersmith

Rules (copied from the femslashficlets profile page):

RULES

- For the purposes of this comm, we're defining 'femslash' as a relationship between two or more characters/people who self-identify as women in your fic.

- There are varying definitions of 'ficlet' but we're going with anything between 100 and 1000 words.

- RPF is welcome, as are crossovers, original fic and stories in languages other than English.

- As indicated by the 'or more' above, threesomes and moresomes of any kind are also most welcome.

- Please only respond to the current challenge prompt. If you're running a little late with your response, you are welcome to post for the previous prompt after the new challenge goes up, but if you're later than a day or so it's probably better to wait for the remainder period. The remainder period will be open every tenth prompt, when any previous prompts can be written.

- We also have ongoing prompt table challenges, the latest of which are Janelle Monae lyric prompts and Queer Women's Literature quotes.

- Ficlets can be stand-alone works or part of an ongoing series.

- Post your ficlet (or a link to it) as a separate entry to the community. Ficlets can be posted directly to the comm or linked from elsewhere. Cross-posting your ficlet to other comms and/or using their prompts in conjunction with ours is fine.

- If you're posting directly to the comm and your ficlet is more than 100 words or rated R or above, please post it under a cut.

- You can write as many ficlets as you'd like for each weekly prompt, but if you're awesomely prolific please be thoughtful of flists and consider posting multiple ficlets per entry.

- Use a standard header to post your ficlet. For example:

Title:
Fandom:
Pairing:
Rating:
Prompt:
Word Count:
Summary:

Anything vaguely similar is fine.

- Tag your ficlet with 'challengeXXX' (XXX being the number of the challenge you're responding to), author: yourusername and fandom: yourfandom. Only the mod can create new tags, but this will done asap. If we somehow miss that you need a new tag, please point that out to us!
