Always Anti-fascist!
Here's an attempt at one of the prompts...I don't write romantic things often. Maybe it's the date today.
A middle-aged woman(although she would probably never call herself that, she knows she is. Probably, if not as ready for support hose as that phrase makes her feel) and a young man, arm in arm, step into the hotel suite they got for their anniversary. “Can you believe it’s been a whole year already?”
He nods, looking as proud and happy as she feels, but she likes it that he doesn’t jabber to fill the silence. All this joy from a relentless best friend playing with the age range on a dating site.

I'm a powerful irritant with a long range, I guess.
Excellent story, Sox. As I expected.

Excellent story, Sox. As I expected.
You are the first person to say this to me. I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath.
Thank you so much for that.

Dream dialog fragment
Victorious hero: "Show her to him. Let him see what the goddess he worshiped really was."
Defeated villain (unflinchingly glances at corpse of the monster, then says coldly): "I never worshiped her. I sacrificed to her. Just business."
