Summary

Collections of prompts to hopefully inspire someone to write, because I've written down literally hundreds (though it will take me a while to move them all here). Each chapter is a different fandom.

Chapter 9: Smurfs

1) A workaholic explosives expert Smurf must take a vacation and learn how to loosen up a bit. Everysmurf regrets it (a unique origin for Jokey).


2) A Smurf that's spent his entire life enslaved is freed and brought to Smurf Village to heal.

Alt: One of the village Smurfs is enslaved and rescued. Healing is more complicated than they or the others expect.


3) Brainy's finally put in charge and comes to the conclusion that he doesn't want to be in charge. How will the other Smurfs react to this change in the normally bossy Smurf?


4) Vanity doesn't like eye contact. Grouchy doesn't like having to talk a lot. An odd friendship is struck.

Alt: Both secretly enjoy the havoc Jokey brings. An odd friendship includes one more Smurf.


5) Magician Smurf is Jokey Smurf's unfortunate roommate.


6) A therapist Smurf comes to the the village, not intending to stay long. He soon finds a special place in the village, because oh smurf is he needed.


7) Smurfette thinks a bit more like a human than a Smurf. This causes problems for her.

Example: Not being able to tell Smurfs apart by face alone, not getting Smurf speak, not being quite as social...


8) When Jokey's prank ruins Vanity's new outfit and makes him burst into tears, the usually careless prankster is determined to make things right.


9) When a cross-dressing competition happens in the village, Vanity wins very easily, leading to questions about his gender.

Ending 1: Trans Vanity.

Ending 2: Boys can like makeup and pretty things without being trans.


10) Jokey just wants to make others laugh! But Pluffs only laugh when hurting others. Can Jokey find the courage to betray his village and join the nice wizard Caramel's side?

Bonus: Grouchy Pluff comes with him.


11) The story of how Hefty got his tattoo and why he chose a heart of all things.


12) His own curiousity and years of listening to Brainy has given Clumsy a rather large knowledge base — how do different Smurfs react to finding out that he's an unwitting genius?


13) Someone makes Smurfette feel bad. Jokey goes Jim Halpert (from The Office) on them.


14) Clumsy grew out of his clumsiness years ago, but it was so big a part of his identity, he's just been faking it since then.

Bonus: Clumsy reveals his secret gracefulness to save somesmurf he cares for. To his surprise, they keep his secret.


15) Brainy always keeps quiet when he's kicked out of the village, knowing they'll recognize his genius one day. When somesmurf kicks Clumsy out the same way for his clumsiness, Brainy finds his voice.


16) Gargamel must care for an amnesiac Smurf-turned-human until he can cure them and follow them to Smurf Village. But what happens when he finds himself liking being a sorta dad?


17) This is one my sister Venus created:

The Smurfs are actually amnesiac humans that Gargamel accidentally cursed, and he's just been trying to fix them this entire time.

Bonus: Papa Smurf is his brother, whose last name was Smurf, and the reason he's called Papa is because Brainy is his son and called him such as they transformed.


18) Brainy is shocked to find that Clumsy is the 'Brainy' in his interactions with Dimwitty.


19) Farmer takes care of his snails.

Martin being an overprotective older brother will never not be my headcannon.

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-12-29

Oh, you again! Hi.

Glad you like my prompt list. Protective Martin is one of my favorite things. 😊

DuchessOfGriots via AO3 on Chapter 10 · 2025-02-07

Yooo I have been reading through this and some of these are absolute FIRE. So awesome of you to just upload a list like this, it's really nice to help others find some inspiration.
I got a few that I would live to pick up, but they have to be added to my own pile of unfinished fics and random prompts hahahaha! You know how it is.
Also fun fact, but totally unrelatable, your username was very fammillair to me. I see you lurk in the Darkwing fandom as well. The world and the internet are so vast, and yet so small at the same time.
If I ever pick up on a promot from here I will let you know :) Thanks again for sharing!

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-02-07

Knowing that someone actually likes my prompts makes me very happy 😁

And I am definitely in the Darkwing Duck fandom, so... 😂

Thank you for your comment, I love really nice comments like this 😊

Nosakaya via AO3 on Chapter 9 · 2025-02-21

Oh my gosh this is wonderful thank you so much I will definitely use your ideas for smurf stories someday ^^🥺 (≧∇≦)/(≧∇≦)/≧﹏≦≧﹏≦(●♡∀♡)(●♡∀♡)

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-02-22

I'm so glad you like them so much! This comment has made me very happy! 😁

Nosakaya via AO3 2025-02-23

I'm glad you were made happy by my comment!!^^ Because these ideas are wonderful I didn't come up with something like this myself they are wonderful thank you so much ^^ 🥺🥺≧﹏≦≧﹏≦(。>‿‿<。 )(。>‿‿<。 )

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-02-23

Thank you and you're welcome 😊

C00l_person_12 via AO3 on Chapter 5 · 2025-03-24

Oh yeah! I'll definitely have to write about a few of these! I've been running out of idea lately and this is exactly what I needed! So thank you a lot! I'll make sure to credit you when I do write them:)

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-03-24

Oh, yay, someone's interested in this 😊
I look forward to reading your work!

MouseMinionDuckLover via AO3 on Chapter 12 · 2025-04-17

2) Melodia and Bluegrass bump into each other in neutral territory. They start chatting. This happens more than once. They accidentally become frenemies.

Alt:
* SilverHawks/Mob: "No, that is not normal banter, that is called flirting."
* Bluegrass/Melodia: "No it– omigod it is."

Omg I can hardly wait to read this one, or take a shot at it myself, but right now I’m working on a fic based on the Dynamite Comics version of Silverhawks, wherein Bluegrass and Melodia are lovers with the same dream of musical stardom but she betrays him. My fic is what leads up to the events in issue two and ends where that same issue ends. It probably will get undone by issue three knowing my luck lol, but if that happens I’ll just add an Alternate Timeline or whatever tag.

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-04-17

Wait wait WAIT

Melodia and Bluegrass are ACTUALLY lovers in the comics??? I really have to get around to reading those one of these days...

Glad you like my prompts 😊

MouseMinionDuckLover via AO3 2025-04-17

Yep! Isn’t it great? :D Just to clarify, to make it easier for you to find it, it’s the Dynamite comics not the old Star comics. So far there’s two issues out and I’ve seen the cover art options for number three. I got the issue two cover with Bluegrass and Steelheart on it, absolutely gorgeous painting of them. And getting to see Boone (Bluegrass’s now canon civilian name) as a complete human is so awesome, he’s an adorably unassuming young man, kinda vanilla looking but in a comfortable-draws-you-in kinda way, if I’m making any sense. Like, he puts you at ease, you can’t help but like him type. Makes you wonder what he’s doing with Melodia lol!
Like, “Bro… that’s your girlfriend?!”

MouseMinionDuckLover via AO3 on Chapter 12 · 2025-04-17

32) A virus or whatever that drives sapient species feral hits Copper Kidd. Now the other SilverHawks have to catch what amounts to a hyper-intelligent yet rabid squirrel child before he destroys HawkHaven.

Another one I want to try myself! You’re so good at prompts!

33) When an experimental SilverHawks transformation facility is built in Limbo, the Mob breaks in and gets turned into cyborgs.

This one kinda reminds me of an episode of Tigersharks, the Mantannas break into the SARK and use The Tank to become humans, and somehow they manage to get even uglier lol!

34) Droids are second class citizens, beneath bios. No one can quite figure out where the SilverHawks fit in, and are not helped by the fact that said cyborgs don't seem all that interested in figuring it out.
AKA: the Hawks are nice to everyone and it's really confusing to native Limbonians.

Oh there is SO much potential in this one!!!

35) Yes-Man gets injected with Truth Serum.
Result A: He tells off Mon*Star
Result B: Everyone expects A, but it turns out he really does agree with everything Mon*Star says.

I can’t decide which of these sounds more hilarious.

37) An alternate universe where the SilverHawks are evil and the Mob are good, but everyone still has (almost) the same personalities and dynamics.
Bonus: The characters from the canon universe go to the alt verse, or vice versa.

Wasn’t there an actual episode where, they didn’t go to alternative universe or get switched with evil/good doubles, but rather some kind of magic or scientific stuff that reversed their personalities? I’m pretty sure there was, but there’s still a lot that can be done with this concept and that episode (if I’m even correct that it exists) can be a great source of inspiration/motivation!

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-04-17

I'm glad you like my prompts! I have SO MANY ideas and not nearly enough time to write them, but at least this way I can get them out there in some form.

I'm pretty sure there IS a morality-flip episode, though I haven't seen it. I love when characters get morality flipped, especially when their personalities are still the same or almost so.

MouseMinionDuckLover via AO3 2025-04-17

Oh honey I feel ya on the too many ideas not enough time thing. And yes! Morality flips are one of my favorite troupes.:D

Sundannsair via AO3 on Chapter 9 · 2025-05-01

15) Brainy always keeps quiet when he's kicked out of the village, knowing they'll recognize his genius one day. When somesmurf kicks Clumsy out the same way for his clumsiness, Brainy finds his voice.
Now THAT woumd be the fic I'd LOVE to read!😍😍😍 I will always adore and love their relationship!

3) Brainy's finally put in charge and comes to the conclusion that he doesn't want to be in charge. How will the other Smurfs react to this change in the normally bossy Smurf?
I can totally imagine it happening, even in canon. At first he would be more than delighted to be granted power, and it would be "fun" to see realisation setting in and him gradually realising that THIS is NOT he wants, at all. The confusion, the dread, the existential crisis, bottling up emotions and denying till the very last moment...Oh yes, fine stuff.

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-01

I sorta headcanon that Brainy only wants to be village leader because he respects Papa so much and wants to be like him, but getting to actually be the village leader would make him realize it doesn't appeal to him much. And of course he wouldn't know how to tell Papa that he doesn't want to be just like him anymore...

Glad you like my prompts 😊

Sundannsair via AO3 2025-05-01

His journey of self-discovery would be such an interesting topic, as he learns how to form his own identity instead of becoming Papa's exact copy😍

It's always such a treat to read about your ideas!❤️

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-02

Brainy is just such an interesting character, full of potential.

Thank you 😊

Droewyn via AO3 on Chapter 18 · 2025-05-14

Tried to report for TOS violation, but looks like someone already has.

This belongs on social media, not AO3.

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-14

Excuse me? It's prompts for fics, I'm hardly the first person to do this. I've seen like four others already. And I don't use any social media, so that wouldn't be an option for me anyways...

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-14

Wait someone reported it for something? Does that mean it's going to get deleted??? I have stuff on this I don't have anywhere else, I will be very upset if it gets deleted, I hate losing stuff like this...

Droewyn via AO3 2025-05-14

Yes. It is prompts for fics, not fics. Non-fanworks are expressly forbidden by the TOS. Doesn't matter who else does it; when those get reported, they will also be removed once reviewed by the Policy and Abuse team.

AO3 is an archive. It is a library. Would you walk into a library and take a steaming dump on the shelves? Respect the space you are occupying.

Get a tumblr account; they're free.

Droewyn via AO3 2025-05-14

If the Abuse team finds that you have violated TOS, then this will be removed, yes. I would suggest that you download a copy if you don't already have it saved somewhere.

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-15

I don't use social media because it sent me into a depression. It was dangerous for my mentally health, I cannot use it.

This is actually a misunderstanding, though. I thought the same thing when I first read the rules, but upon closer inspection it actually means you can't copy-paste too much canon content. Otherwise, why would there be 'No Fandom' and 'Original Work' tags? Both of which have thousands of works in them?

And you can criticize me respectfully. This is more like leaving a notebook filled with scribbled ideas on a library shelf, maybe a 'how to write book' or a magazine, than pooping.

Arukir Author via AO3 2025-05-15

I copy-pasted each chapter into a notes file, just in case I'm wrong about this being allowed. Honestly, thanks for this warning, it really hurts to lose stuff like this.

Note: disagreement on one fic does not need to poison others. If you read/comment on any of my other fics, I won't try to block you or anything for doing so. And if not, that's fine too.

Have a nice day :)

KayDubs_TheKoiFish via AO3 2025-06-28

While Droewyn is right and prompts like these aren't allowed, there is a way to post these without resorting to social media! Or libraries I suppose haha

AO3 has this thing called prompt memes.
These are specialized collections or subcollections where you can post your ideas and also see works by writers who were inspired by them.
And of course, there's even a detailed tutorial, which I'll link here:
https://archiveofourown.org/faq/tutorial-running-a-prompt-meme-on-ao3?language_id=en

I'll admit I haven't done any myself, but I'm certain people could see them on your profile if you set it up to public or something.

Hope this helps!

Gontonyak via AO3 2026-05-30

Prompts are very much allowed on AO3. People paste all kinds of things on this site: Fics, podfics, art, original work, things that are less than 10 words long, and yes, writing prompts (so the story may get out there, even if the person doesn't have the time/capability/bandwidth/just doesn't want to write it). All of which are allowed.

Even if it wasn't allowed, there is a right, respectful, way of saying it. No need to insult their work.

Maybe you should spend less time insulting other's writing, and more time working on your own.

TheEverlastingDragon via AO3 on Chapter 4 · 2025-07-02

A favorite idea of mine is the villains doing their thing and pissing off some nature guardian (Ex: Boitata, a serpent from Brazilian mythology describe as either breathing fire or being made of fire that is said to protect. the wilderness from harm).

Outta curiosity, how many times do you think they'd do this before realizing that they should probably stop purely for their own health?

Solar_AC89 (Guest) via AO3 on Chapter 1 · 2026-05-25

Since Stephen Silver was character designer for this PBS series, I would like crossovers with Kim Possible, another show he designed characters for but on Disney. I mean if those two know the Kratt Brothers, surely the Creature Power Team knows Middleton’s humble super cheerleader

Novsi via AO3 on Chapter 4 · 2026-05-25

i could kiss u tysm

Inarticulation0_0 via AO3 on Chapter 5 · 2026-06-01

Dad bushroot is such a wonderful idea, I might write it one day

Inarticulation0_0 via AO3 on Chapter 11 · 2026-06-01

LOONATICS MENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

MouseMinionDuckLover via AO3 on Chapter 11 · 2026-10-13

I’m trying to spread the Loonatics Tech/Rev ship to all who will listen because of the popularity of Wiley/Roady stuff exploding all over the Net because of that wonderful movie.
Whenever a friend says “Ok, hear me out, Wiley and Roadrunner!”
I smile like a proud bemused mother and respond “Oh Honey. Have you heard of a little show called Loonatics? Those boys great-grandsons sprinted so their granddaddies could fly out of the closet finally.” 🥰
