1. one fell swoop - one movement that became a catalyst for the plot twist, or the story's tour de force.

2. spoilers, spoilers, spoilers - making a drabble that focuses on YnM's spoilers, or the inclusion of it.

I'm going to need some clarification on both of these. The first only seems to retread the basic structure of a drabble, and the second breaks down a bit given the two versions of canon and their ages. What were you thinking for a cut-off point there?

Thanks for these suggestions! Some people have real difficulty writing a drabble to a prompt of a quote (or lyrics or line of poetry), so I tend to keep the prompts as brief as possible.

Thank you for all of these! Though I hope you don't mind, I changed "the four elements" to "five," in keeping with the Asian system.

Thank you! The thing with one-word prompts is, even if one word is similar to another, it can still send your imagination off in a wildly different direction. So I have no qualms about doing variations on a theme.
