I have a feeling that this one is going to be pretty angsty. But my idea is: "Slowly the proof piles up until Shinichi has no choice to accept that Kaito is cheating on him. ...But is he really?" or something like that. ^.^

*Suddenly thinks about Jii and Kaito* Oh noes.
(Though I have this nagging feeling that this was already written before)

...Wow. Frankly this sounds miserable in every possible way. I might have to opt out of participating in this one unless I get an un-angsty idea, and I might have to opt out of reading the related fics too, unless my depression suddenly lets this be a good idea. But good luck to all you who can safely participate!

it could be comedy....I think^^; if we take into consideration Kaito's fish phobia then he could consider Aoko a traitor if she told Akako or Hakuba. it could also be dramatic I think, like a scene where Vermouth betrays the organization or Gin and sides with Shinichi instead. it could be a reminiscent type of story? like Haibara's so called betrayer of the organization and so on. eh I'm not a writer so I can't really think of many ideasTvT

If I do the KaiShin one I'm thinking of, mine will end up being kind of a sweet, fluffy romance thing. *Shrugs* There are definitely different ways of doing it as dove-chan said. I think the word "betrayal" automatically predisposes us to think "angst", but with some creativity, you could do a lot of things with this theme. ^.^

Gotta seriously sweet idea for this one and oh would you look at that the writing period's open.
It will not be a happy story (unless it is). It will definitely be about Conan (unless it's not). It will keep every reader guessing (unless you skip to the end).
Might get it up by tomorrow.

Hehehe....is it bad that the first plot bunny I got for this idea is actually really cute KaiHaku (frendship or romantic, haven't figured out yet) fluff, instead of the wave of angst that I somehow manage to get for every other prompt? I thank you, plunny gods!
But on that note, so much aaaaaangst. I swear if I win, the next prompt is going to be, like, marshmallows or something. You can't angst over marshmallows.

Very interesting idea.... Very different from the prompts we've had so far. I wonder how every one'll interpret this to make a story? There's been some intriguing thoughts out there already! Good luck everyone!

Yes, Tiny. Write the HakuKai fluff. And marshmallows actually sounds like an interesting prompt. Sounds like a challenge.
