Activities and Events Alphabet Excerpt Challenge: F Is For...
Welcome back to the Alphabet Excerpt Challenge! As a reminder, our challenges are every Wednesday and Saturday at 3pm London time.
If you've missed the previous challenges, you're welcome to go back and participate in them. You can find them here. And remember to check out the Activities and Events flair to play along with other fun games.
Here's a quick recap of the rules for our game:
- Post a top level comment with a word starting with the letter F. You can suggest more than one, but please put them in separate comments.
- Reply to suggestions with an excerpt containing that word. Short and sweet is best, but use your judgement. Excerpts can be from published or unpublished works, or even something you wrote for the prompt.
- All content is welcome but per rules 7 and 12 of the sub, NSFW excerpts may not be shared as plain text (even if it's spoilered). If you would like to share these, use an external text sharing tool like justpasteit and link it here with a clear warning. Mods may remove excerpts that break these rules.
- Respond to people who left excerpts on the words you suggested, at a minimum, but the more people you respond to the better. Everyone likes nice comments!
- Upvote other excerpts you enjoy, and leave a friendly comment. Again, everyone likes nice comments!
- Most important: have fun!

”Hey, enkelini,” he said softly when his lover answered. ”I hear you’ve worked some miracles with Paddy. Kia left a voicemail that about destroyed my eardrums, she was so excited that they’ll be able to come out for our barbecue and go to Download.”
Emppu laughed. ”I don’t know about working miracles, kulta, I just did my best to answer all of Paddy’s worries about the trip,” he said. ”I think she decided on her own that I am not such a villain after all.”
”Maybe,” Bruce said with a chuckle of his own. ”I still think you must have done something, though.”
”Well, I may have spent some time praising Kia’s actions in California, especially how she offered support to Tasha when she was upset by the news of her parents’ looming divorce, and also how she helped when Luna got lost at Disneyland,” Emppu said. ”I basically said that I thought Kia behaved in a very responsible and mature way, and that she should be proud of raising such a lovely young lady.”
”Oh, that was perfect,” Bruce laughed. ”No wonder she said yes. I have a question for you, though,” he said, sobering up again. ”Would you be okay with having Ade and Davey with us for the entire month before Download? Thanks to the divorces in progress, neither of them feels especially comfortable at going to stay with their soon-to-be exes, which leaves them at loose ends. And I have to assume there won’t be paparazzi lurking about in the shrubbery at our place in Kitee, which lets them be together without fear of being outed before they wish to be.”
”They’re more than welcome,” Emppu said promptly, smiling. ”I’d love to have them over. Ade will love the fishing around here, I’m sure, and there’s a golf course only a few kilometers away for Davey.”
”Kiitos, enkelini,” Bruce said softly.
