hhanonRound 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.

Date: 2011-12-21 12:39 pm (UTC)“oh god not spin the bottle Laz” groaned Jim
“come on you know you want to”
“no we really don’t”
“come ooonnnn”
Jim rolled his eyes
“pleeeeeease”
“alright, alright, just don’t be surprised if it degenerates into a big row like last time”.
“but I like the rows” said larry “they’re hilarious”. Last time Mat had got really huffy with Simon when he’d suggested that doing a show on Sky was selling out to the Murdoch empire. He had been doing it on purpose of course to wind Mat up, knowing how Mat felt about the whole News International conglomerate. Ben of course had waded in on Mat’s side and then Martha had had a go at Ben for picking on Simon. It had ended with everyone shouting at pretty much everyone else while larry sat there in hysterics.
“don’t worry, I’ll choose a non controversial topic this time”
“yeh right” Larry was never knowingly uncontroversial
“right so spin the bottle..no shh shhh it’ll be fun...ok, the topic this time is love”
“love” said Simon
“yep love in honour of our newly loved up friends over there” he nodded at Mat and Ben who were over on the sofa, snogging - again.
“oi” larry threw a cushion at them “put each other down and come and play”
“alright, a;lright we’re coming” said Mat grinning
“ok right” Larry spun the bottle. It landed pointing at Jim
“Jim! Ok if you had to snog a fellow cast member, who would it be?”
“what???” Jim choked, “I’m not bloody answering that”
“you have too otherwise it’s a forfeit – don’t make us, make you do, the truffle shuffle!”
“you wouldn’t!” said Jim
“oh he would” said Simon
“bastard!! Oh er um er Katy”
“oooooooh” the others all giggled
“shut up” said Jim “are we all 14 or something?”
“temper, temper” said Larry and he spun the bottle again, and rather poetically it landed
pointing at him
“ha!” said Jim “I’m asking this one. If you ahd to snog a fellow cast member of the same sex who would it be?”
Larry grinned “oh that’s easy” he said “Mat”
Mat went very red and Ben’s face went very tight
“why Mat?” asked Jim
“oh he’s nearly as pretty as a girl” said Larry “no offence to the rest of you but you’re all a bit to blokey, so you know if I had too at gunpoint, there’s no contest”
“I’m worried about how much you seem to ahve thought about this Laz” said Martha
“well it’s the insomnia, I think about all kinds of things at 4.30 in the morning.Ok lets go again” he span the bottle and this time it landed pointing at Ben
“Ben” smirked Larry “ok Ben, first time you had sex”
“oooooooh” giggled everyone else “Ben losing his virginity”
“with a man or a woman?” Ben deadpanned back
“arghhhhh noooooo, Ben! you tart you! we thought you were gay” choroused everyone
“well I am now” he grinned “but it doesn’t mean I haven’t you know tried out the otherside”
“both, we want to know both!” said Martha laughing
“ok, with a girl when I was 16 at a Christmas party at my parents house. On top of the coats, a bit clumsy and hurried with coat buttons digging in my back”
“hahaha you went underneath” laughed Mat “that’s a rarity”
“well she was 21” said ben, familiar half smirk creeping across his face “and she seemed to be more familiar with the mechanics than me”
“21!!!! Benjamin! we’re shocked”
Ben laughed and took a sip of his drink “you’re so not you know”
“alright, alright, first time with a bloke”
A slightly shamefaced look fluttered across ben’s face “university”
“and...and...” the others leaned forward
“and...nothing...we had sex, we were drunk and we had sex”
he paused
“on the cricket square”
“noooooo” the others howled “you didn’t!”
“we did, and it was bloody uncomfortable”
“well well” said Larry “it’s all coming out now!” and he spun and landed pointing to Mat

Date: 2011-12-21 12:43 pm (UTC)“oh ho Mathew!” grinned Larry “right first time you were in love”
“argh god” said Mat “do I have to?”
“YES” shouted the others, except Ben whose face was wearing a guarded closed down expression
“alright I was 18 and he was 30”
“30! You toy boy you” laughed Martha
“he was a teacher at drama school and well he er realised i was gay before I did”
“ooooh”
“and yeh well he offered me a lot of one to one tuition”
“hahah the old ‘special tuition' eh? “ laughed Simon
“and one afternoon he kissed me and well that was it”
“was he the first person you slept with?” asked Jim
“yes” said Mat softly “he was much more experienced and well, yeh, it was lovely”
Ben jumped abruptly to his feet
“I think it’s time we were going” he said to Mat
“oh Ben, but we’re having so much fun”
“we’ve got to be up early in the morning” said Ben “come on”
Mat sighed, Ben was right they did have to be up early but somehow he didn’t think this was about needing to be up early..
When they got outside, Ben cupped Mat’s face and pulled him in for a very very long involved kiss.
“I love you you know” he said winding his arms around Mat
“i know you do” said Mat “but”
Ben stiffened in his arms “but?”
Mat leaned back so he could look him full in the face “we don’t have to be up that early, why did you make me leave?”
Ben wouldn’t meet his eyes “we do have to be up early”
“Ben" said Mat firmly “i’m not an idiot! It was because of the game wasn’t it?”
“n nooo”
“liar” Mat smiled at him sadly “you’re a hopeless liar”
“i didn’t want to hear it ok?” burst out Ben “i didn’t want to hear about how lovely some other man was and how he was the first, I wanted to be the first ok? I wanted to be the first person you loved! I just..the thought of you with other people, I can’t stand it”
“oh Ben” Mat sighed “ I was 28 when we met, you were never going to be the first were you?”
Ben muttered something unintelligible
“WERE YOU?” said Mat more firmly
“no but....I don’t want you to talk about it. I don’t want to know about the others”
“but..”
“promise me, please Mat, promise me” ben sounded close to tears
“alright Ben I promise” said Mat. I mean he thought, it’s not as if I do need to talk about them after all they are all in the past
Ben smiled and kissed his nose “ok” he said “let’s go home”

Date: 2011-12-21 11:13 pm (UTC)Which is a compliment, it just means you're doing a great job of writing.
“Shut up” said Jim “are we all 14 or something?”
Apparently, yes - as we're playing Spin the Bottle. :D
“And...nothing...we had sex, we were drunk and we had sex” he paused “on the cricket square.”
Just to check. Is this still the 'verse where it was Alexander and Ben was just lying about it there? Or is it a different one?
