A while back, on a whim, I signed up for a fic prompt bingo card at
genprompt_bingo. It turned out that this kind of prompt is not one my brain finds particularly useful, so it took me a while to complete a line: almost exactly ten years, in fact. But I did it!
Strictly speaking, the only one of these that was a result of successfully pondering a prompt and then writing a fic to fit it is the fill for "Daily Rituals", which I wrote this week specifically to complete the line (after spending several weeks trying to think of something that would work). All the other fills were applied retroactively when I realised that something I'd written under another impetus happened to match a square.

This is how I do nearly every bingo/prompt list type prompt for everything, too.
