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).
- 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.

”No.” she said.
”It's my house.” he said and waited only a moment before he opened the door. She was sitting by her desk, not crying (Thank you God, Albert whispered in his head). ”Anne.” he said. She didn't answer. ”Anne.” he said again. ”I am so sorry.”
”What are you sorry about, you are not the one who have gotten your heart broken.”
”Can you not forgive me?”
”No.” she said. ”Never, we are going to run away.” she said. ”I mean it this time.” she said. And she did, Blenkinsop knew that she were. She had that special spark when she was serious, it was an eerie spark, defiant in every way.
”You can't.” he said.
”I don't care what you think, you haven't even told me why I can't marry him!”
Blenkinsop sat down on her bed, and after a while she sat down besides her father. Her tired and old father that had been so sad, she almost felt sorry for him, even though he was evil.
He took her hand. ”Do you like your mother?” he asked.
”Yes.” she said, because she did. She loved her mother much more than her father, that she barely knew actually.
”That's good, don't go and break her heart then.” he said. ”I have made this decision as the man in this household, now please follow it. You will find someone else. I didn't marry your mother until I was 29, and then I had been at war and...”
”Just go, please.” she said. Blenkinsop nodded and left the room. His Anne was not going to elope, and he was determined to find her someone to marry. Or maybe he shouldn't.
Anne decided that James Smith wasn't the one for her after all, especially since he hurried away to marry another girl, who soon all too soon delivered a baby boy, called Richard.
Later in her life she was even grateful of her fathers words, when she met the most charming man, John, who was the most romantic man she ever laid her eyes on. And he only had her eyes on her. But more of that later.
His and Helen's relationship did not take any strain from (one of) the secret(s) being out. They just pretended that it wasn't, because after all they had lived together for too long to care.
She sometimes wondered why he didn't seem to care all to much about it, but still loved Anne as if she was his own. Helen liked to pretend that she was after all, she didn't want to think about that. The postman was long gone, and he had probably fathered more children. Helen sometimes wondered why he thought that she had a lover? He was all she needed, but... she had have a weak moment... a couple of times almost 30 years ago, and it had resulted in a baby. But she didn't need a lover, why would she want that? ”Helen, you are thinking to much again.” Blenkinsop said and smiled towards her.
”Yes... sorry, here's your lunch dear.” She got herself a kiss on the cheek. He was a good husband.

(not really, that would be odd.)
