Salt and Pepper Fest 2017: Prompting is Closed!

[hpgoldenage_mod]

PROMPTING FOR THE SALT AND PEPPER FEST IS OPEN! closed!

Before you run off to leave us all your fab prompts, please check out the general rules for this fest and the prompting guidelines below!

Prompt Guidelines

1. Anyone can leave a prompt regardless of whether or not you're planning on claiming one. Submitting a prompt doesn't commit you to anything.

2. You can leave up to seven prompts. Prompts can be in the same comment or listed separately.

3. Prompts must be relevant to the theme of this community - any canon character at 50+. (i.e. a prompt focusing on Harry as a young parent would not fit.)

4. That said, we want all sorts of prompts! Fluffy, angsty, light or dark, gen, slash, femslash, het, threesome/moresome, character studies, mysteries, drama, comedy--anything goes!

5. Keep in mind that this is not a gift exchange. Your name will not be listed with your prompt in the claiming stage or when the fest is posting. Claimers will also be able to deviate from the prompt if their muse goes in a different direction (switch out characters, go with a different overall tone, etc.)

6. Prompts may be edited for clarity.

7. Prompting is open now until the end of Monday, Nov 14th (midnight, EST). We'll edit this post when prompting is closed.

Prompt: Twenty-five years ago, Draco and Albus had a passionate affair. They were all set up to come clean and be together for real, when suddenly Draco and his wife moved to Paris without a word, leaving Albus heartbroken. Now Draco's back in Britain--minus a wife--and it quickly becomes clear that Albus isn't as over Draco as he likes to pretend. But Albus isn't so sure he's ready to forgive and forget.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Draco/Albus Severus or Draco/James Sirius
Theme/Tone: angst, romance, bittersweet
Additional Info: Up to you why Draco left in the first place--though I'd prefer for it not to have anything to do with him not wanting to be with ALbus. Maybe Scorpius or Harry found out about the affair and convinced him that Albus was better off without him? I'd love a happy ending with this one. :)
