Prompt #46
„What are they doing?“
„Fighting, obviously. I mean, they are archenemies and the villain is trying to destroy this city.“
„Yeah, I get that. But why are they exchanging parenting tips?“
„I think, they just both like talking while fighting. And apparently their kids are roughly the same age.“
„Okay, weird...“
Prompt #45
A hero and a villain are a couple. They both know, that the other one is a hero/ villain and have accepted this. They still love each other and want to get married.
The only problem is, that their friends (who are mostly heroes and villains, too) really don’t like the idea of ‚marrying the enemy‘. And maybe the couple should have been a little bit more considerate regarding the seating arrangement for the wedding (whose idea was it to let two archenemies sit at the same table???)...
Prompt #44
All your life you had these stories inside your head. You even published several book series playing in different fantasy worlds. Of course you just thought you had quite the imagination, until suddenly a bunch of characters from a few of your books burst through a portal in your living room.
Apparently the stories have been real all along and they were memories from former lives.
Prompt #43
When you left home and went to college your allergy started to akt up. Which was weird, because you are only allergic to dogs and there are no animals allowed in the student dorm.
Now you find out why: your roommate is a werewolf. You probably should distance yourself from said roommate. It would be the reasonable thing to do. And your allergy is really unpleasant.
However, you never said, that you were clever and you do like your roommate...
Prompt #42
You are a pagan god. You also have recently adopted the antichrist.
Prompt 41
There are aliens that can possess humans and control their bodies and minds. Somehow these aliens managed to possess every superhero in the world and they are using their superpowers to destroy humanity.
Now the last hope are the supervillains, who have to save the world from the heroes.
Prompt #40
In a world where everybody has one superpower, your power is a little bit unhelpful...
Okay, the thing is: you can talk to cats. Which sounds cool, but cats are not really communicative. They don’t have a real language (only a few simple words) and most of the time they don’t want to talk to you (and they never want to listen to you).
How you still saved a bunch of people with superpowers like super-strength, super-speed and flying, well, that’s an interesting story.
Prompt #39
You tried to summon a demon. But apparently you messed something up, because instead of a demon a hellhound appears.
Well... you always wanted a dog.
Prompt #38
When a person, who is important to both the villain and the hero, is kidnapped, villain and hero have to work together in order to save them.
Prompt #37
Everybody is born with a name on each wrist. On one side is the name of your soulmate. On the other is the name of your worst enemy.
You have the same name on both wrists.
Prompt #36
You are the spouse of a superhero. Therefore, you get kidnapped by their archenemy quite often.
Your first kidnapping was terrifying.
After the third kidnapping you started talking to the villain (who is surprisingly polite).
Now you and the villain know quite a lot about each other. And you managed to convince them that handcuffs are really not necessary (the villain has superpowers, many security guards and your spouse will come for you sooner or later - so you are not stupid enough to try to flee on your own).
The superhero is very confused, when they come for your rescue and find you drinking tea with the supervillain.
Prompt #35
Rules:
No fights are allowed. In this household we resolve conflicts with words.
Do not summon a demon anything under any circumstances. Especially not to trade your sibling for a new Xbox.
Do not trade anyone (or their soul) for anything.
Ghosts are not allowed to scare anybody on purpose.
If humans visit, you could at least try to act normal.
We will not spend any vacation in hell (so stop proposing this idea!). Any trips to hell are forbidden.
Worship me, [name], the greatest sorceress in this reality MUHAHAHA. Only responsible adults are allowed to write things on this list. I‘m the only responsible adult here.
Don’t swap the grape juice with lamb-blood. That‘s just disgusting. And I still needed this blood.
STOP THIS STUPID PRANK-WAR! NOW!
If you consume the last bit of something, write it on the shopping list (it‘s not that hard).
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Just use your brain. Don‘t do anything that could get you or anyone else killed/ hurt/ arrested. Seriously, this list should need only one point: DON‘T BE STUPID!
Prompt #34
A supervillain and a superhero swap bodies because of some magical mishap during one of their fights. However, they both think that this is an ideal way to get some information about the other person’s plans, so they don’t tell anyone else.
But they are both horrible actors and therefore their hero-/villain-friends notice rather sooner than later, that something is amiss...
Prompt #33
What happens when a werewolf gets bitten by a vampire? Asking for a friend.
Prompt #32
Person A: *Reveals secret identity as a vigilante*
Person B: „I knew it!“
Person A: „What? How?“
Person B: „Because you are a horrible liar. I mean, every time you are injured, you have this unbelievable explanation. Like that time you broke your arm and you said you were attacked by a goose? Or the ‚I walked against a street-lamp‘ thing - you used that excuse three times! Or when you said, that you slipped on a banana peel. That only happens in movies.“
Person A: „...Actually I was telling you the truth most of the times. Except the second time I said, I walked into a street-lamp. I actually saved the world that time and got punched in the face by my archenemy.“
Prompt #31
You are a superhero. But you are also a psychologist.
Your two lifes collide, when your archenemy comes into your practice as a new patient. Of course you don’t know at first that it’s your archenemy because of secret identities. But as your patient they talk a lot to you, so you figure it out soon.
And, wow, they really have a lot of problems. Now you feel kind of bad for them...
Prompt #30
You are a famous actor, known for playing the hero in action movies. One day you and some of your colleagues (all also known for playing badass characters) are abducted by aliens.
Why? Well, the aliens need someone to help rescue their planet. So when they found earth, they immediately began looking for the strongest warriors. However, these aliens have never heard of fiction. So they saw the movies and now think that the actors are amazing fighters. And they don’t believe you, when you try to convince them, that they are mistaken.
Now you and a bunch of other actors have to save an alien planet or die trying.
Prompt #29
It‘s take your kid to work day. Therefore the supervillain decides to do something not as dangerous as what they normally do and instead takes their kid to rob a bakery.
It’s take your kid to work day. Therefore the superhero decides to do something not as dangerous as what they normally do and instead takes their kid to stop the robbing of a bakery.
Prompt #28
Vampires and werewolves are natural enemies. Everybody knows that.
Vampires and werewolves both prey on humans. Everybody knows that, too.
Nevertheless when a vampire and a werewolf find a human baby in the wilderness, neither of them want to harm the tiny human being. (Someone would have to be very evil to hurt a baby.) And since they can‘t return the baby to other humans, this means, that they have to take care of it.
However, neither of them trusts the other one not to harm the baby.
And this is the story how a vampire, a werewolf and a human became a family.
Prompt #27
You are a supervillain in retirement. But when another villain destroyed your house and more importantly your precious garden (your flower-bed had been perfect) you have to act. And well, if saving the world is the only way to get your vengeance, then so be it.
Prompt #26
Once a group of young heroes saved the world from a great evil, like it has been foretold in a prophecy.
Now there is a new prophecy and you and your friends have to save the world from another great evil. Therefore you seek advice from the last heroes.
Turns out all of them now have PTSD. And one has depression. And another one has social anxiety. They are a mess.
So they try to convince you and your friends that it’s totally not a good idea to fight great evils when you are only a teenager.
Prompt #25
„You heroes are all the same!“
„Wait... You think I’m a hero?“
„Well of course you are. Why else would you try to stop me?“
„I thought you were trying to stop me...“
„So... you‘re not a hero?“
„Nope. You?“
„Hell no. I‘m obviously a villain.“
„...“
„...“
„Wanna get some drinks?“
Prompt #24
You go to hell. Which kind of surprises you, I mean you may not have been a saint, but you weren’t that bad, right? So you ask a demon, why you are here. They look at you with confusion written on their face.
„You don‘t remember? Weird. You went to heaven and then decided to take a dive downstairs and here you are.“
Prompt #23
When the hero gets amnesia, the villain decides, that the best way to keep the hero from foiling their evil plans is to make them believe, that they are best friends with the villains. And it works just fine except... except maybe the villain, now that he gets to know the hero, may kind of... like the hero... a little bit. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the hero definitely starts to remember stuff...
Prompt #22
The child of a hero and the child of a villain are friends. Their parents don’t know about that - yet.

Every person has a guardian-angel assigned to them. And you are the first person in the world, whose guardian-angel is the devil himself. Turns out that the devil takes this job pretty serious.
(Sometimes maybe a little bit too serious.)
Prompt #20
Zuko from ATLA once said, that he was bad at being good. You however are bad at being bad.
Seriously you had this whole evil plan and it was perfect, but then another villain started their evil plan at the same time as you. So instead of reaching world domination, you saved the world. Totally unintentional. But the people now think that you are a hero and they are celebrating you and this is the perfect moment to set another evil plan into motion...
But... somehow you like the way people look at you now...
Prompt #19
They told me I could become anything I wanted. So I became a dragon.
Prompt #18
A story about the most feared Supervillain in the world, who somehow adopted a kid. It had been a total accident. The kid (now their kid) just had these hugh sad eyes. Puppy-eyes. The villain may be evil, but he is not a monster.
He didn’t mean to adopt a kid.
And then he adopted another child, because their kid had been so lonely and the villain never liked only-children (they were always so vain - kind of like the heroes).
The third child hadn’t been an accident. Because three is a lucky number, alright.
With the forth child the villain realized, that they might have a problem. But all these kids needed them and the villain somehow really likes being a parent.
The villain never meant to adopt a child - now he has adopted five little kids.
What is life like as a single parent of five and a secret identity as the most feared supervillain? Stressed. Definitely stressed.
Prompt #17
You are kidnapped by a supervillain. Unfortunately said supervillain is convinced, that they figured out his archenemy‘s secret identity. And that it’s you.
But he is mistaken, you are definitely not their archenemy. Too bad, that the villain doesn‘t believe you...
