By Fairest Blood - A Snow White and the Huntsman Comment Ficathon
Welcome to By Fairest Blood, a comment ficathon for SWATH. Some quick guidelines:
What can I prompt and how do I do so?
You can prompt whatever you want that pertains to SWATH. That means pre-canon, post-canon, intra-canon, AUs, RPF — the world is your fanfiction oyster. Want to selectively erase certain aspects of canon from your memory? Go right ahead.
Prompts should contain the following format:
Characters/Ship (optional) - Timeline (optional) - Prompt (which may be a song lyric, quote, etc., but is not optional)
In other words, you can leave a character and/or a ship, and/or a timeline, which are optional, and a prompt, which is not. If you want, you can just leave a set of song lyrics and see what people do with them. If you want, you can just leave a timeline with those lyrics, or a just a character, or all three.
How do I respond?
There are no restrictions in terms of word count, format, tense, point of view, etc. Please title all of your response fics as such in bold at the top of your comment (make sure to close the bold tag!) since LJ took out comment titles because they're dumb:
Title - Character/Ship - Timeline
Presumably, your fics will contain these three things even if they weren't in the prompt. You can also fill prompts that have already been filled. If something speaks to you, as it were, it doesn't matter if there's already fic for it. You can write your own.
How do I promote?

He hold the door open for her and she ducks under his arm. His bed is rumpled. Behind her he trails the halls as if waiting for the shadows to jump out at them. It is that that relaxes Snow. It's nice to know she's not the only one that still feels the edges of darkness in the castle.
Cross-legged on the bed, she wraps her arms around a pillow as she watches him close the door.
"I'm sorry if I woke you, but--"
"It is fine," he says, standing at the edge of the bed. Snow notes how much cleaner his shirt is that the one he wore in the woods. His trousers look smooth, unripped.
She sighs, "I can't sleep in the bed."
"Too soft?" His mouth almost curves into a smile as he sits on the bed. She dips towards him. Her knees touch his thigh.
"Yes!" She exclaims, grinning. "Wait, how did you know?"
The blue in his eyes darken for a second and then he shift, moving to lean back on the headboard. "Happens after you come back home from war."
Thinking of words she knows he rather not have her remember, she only nods and moves next to him. "Does it ever go away?"
Part of her thinks she'll never get used to the way he looks at her, heavy and full of meaning, some of which she's not sure she fully understands yet. However there is another part of her, one that is growing stronger, that enjoys the weight of his gaze.
"No, it doesn't." He slips an arm over her shoulders, "It might for you though."
Snow leans against his side, happy to know he still smells like the woods. "Why for me?"
"You're a queen."
"I don't think that means anything."
His mouth touches her temple and suddenly she feels sleepily again. It's different than before in her room, when she had to force herself to believe she was comfortable in the bed. Now she feels like she close her eyes and dream of the forest; the one with the bright shining trees.
"It will," Eric's voice is steady. She's not sure she like the meaning that being a queen will change things, but she feels he's right regardless.
She means to say something, but instead she yawns.
"Seems you can sleep now," Eric says.
"Hmm, yes. Can I stay here?"
His arm tightens around her shoulder and for a second she thinks he's going to convince her to go back to her room like he's done other nights she comes visit him. She presses her cheek against arm just in case--she likes remembering his smell; it's the closest thing to safe she now knows--but tonight he rests his cheek against the crown of her head and nods.
When she falls asleep against his side she barely notices when he shifts them on the bed. She's already dreaming of the forest, it's dark twisting trees spreading and unknotting as the sun starts lighting it's path across their branches. The branches don't reach for her now. They move out of her way as she forges a path through the dark wood.

Amazing!
