Round 3 - Return of the Meme

General Rules

Personal attacks and any kind of abusive trolling, hate speech, or bullying are obviously forbidden. Anon comments violating this rule will be deleted, signed in members will be banned.
If your comment is deleted/screened/frozen and you don't know why, please email the mod at hhanonmeme@gmail.com. (If you notice it happening to your comments and you know they're safe, a quick email for the mod to come and unscreen them would be helpful also).
Prompt posts will close to new prompts at 3,000 comments.

Prompting Rules

One prompt per comment.
Please follow the correct format (see below).
Include trigger warnings in the subject line. Use your discretion and please be considerate.
If your prompt is missing something, such as a subject or a warning, repost it in it’s entirety. It is not enough to reply to your own comment with the missing information. The mod will delete the previous duplicate comment.
Multiple fills of the same prompt by different author!anons are allowed.
If for any reason you start a fill but feel you can't finish the WIP you've created, and if you're happy to let someone finish it for you, put it up for HH Meme Fostering and Adoption.
Prompts for projects other than Horrible Histories (ie. Spy, Gavin and Stacy, Rev, St. Trinian's, the O2 adverts etc., and RPF involving actors from those projects should be posted at the What? They've acted in other things?! post.

Format of Prompts

Put [RPF] before RPF prompts.
For crossover prompts: "[Crossover], HH Character(s)/Other Character(s), [Fandom]"
Anyone, everyone, no one? Use "Other."
Put [GEN] before GEN prompts, just so you don't get unwanted shipping.
Use appropriate warnings. I'm trusting you all to know what that means.
Don't embed any photos, videos or other media.
Copy and paste links in full; anon comments with active coded links are marked as spam and the mod doesn't switch accounts often enough - it may be a few days before those screened comments are de-screened (see: emailing the mod a heads up if it happens).

Archiving Prompts and Fills

To make the archiving job easier, please drop a link to your fill/unprompted fic here at the fills post.
Nothing here you fancy filling? Take a look at the unfilled prompts archived here or at Round 1 or Round 2.

That's nearly the end of the storia, for onto the scene comes our much loved meme: HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF PROMPTIA.

Julius frowns. “Verci, as difficult as it is for you to understand, I care about you and when you get hurt I worry.”

“You worry and care enough to disappear at every opportunity.” Vercingetorix snaps, throwing his hat onto a hook sticking out of the wall before fiddling with his long blond hair, a nervous habit of his and Julius sighs.

“Verci we’ve been through this, this city it’s…there’s nothing here.” When it’s out of his mouth he realises he’s said that spectacularly wrong and flounders to save the situation but the irritable French man is already scowling.

“Nothing, zer is nothing ‘ere? I am here Juli!” He stomps over to his workbench in his ridiculous boots and snatches up a box. “I assume you’re not staying long, ‘ere zis is for you.” He thrusts the box at Julius and then stomps off across the workshop to disappear through another door, Julius sighs after him and waits until he’s gone to open the box.

Inside is a silver pocket watch engraved with an intricate pattern across the front, upon opening the cover he gasps when he takes in the dual compass and watch interior. Vercingetorix had to have made it for him specially and here was being massively insensitive. Verci loves this city, he’s probably responsible for building half of it and at least having a hand in designing the other half. Julius sighs as he remembers when he first met the idealistic French man back when it was actually functional as a city, an industrial capital that made poor men rich very quickly. Vercingetorix had turned up with his eyes full of promise and his hands full of plans, one of which was the blue prints for Julius’ rather fine airship the Avaricum. Veringetorix had built for him as a gift! Back when the city actually worked and their relationship wasn’t as weird as was now. They should have been rivals but they somehow never were, they started off with a mutual grudging respect that turned into mutual grudging attraction that happily turned into mutual shagging with no grudges held anywhere at all.

Until the industry stopped and the wheels stopped turning and the chimney’s stopped steaming and Julius had said he was leaving. Vercingetorix had always been determined to stay, to rebuild and keep going but the only thing that he managed to keep going was his relationship with Julius.

Not that Julius bothers about all that, he knows he has Vercingetorix and the Avaricum and his freedom. He just wishes he could have all three at once is all.

“Verci.” He calls. “Verci I’m sorry, it’s beautiful, you’re beautiful.”
He gets no response from the French man and he sighs, he’s been here less than an hour and he’s already messed up…and then Vercingetorix flies into his arms and kisses him with weeks of pent up frustration and longing…he needs to come back more often, he really does.

asflkhda this is incredible. LOVE the steampunk and all the details of the city and their backstory and oh, oh their relationship is already so fascinating and gorgeous and gneee *clutches face*

i hope there's going to be more! ♥
