Sad lack of actual fic thwarts vague desire to throw name in feedback meme.

Blah blah distractability disclaimer; drabble prompts? As detailed or un- as you like - if you know I've seen/read something, I'll probably give it a whack.

(Though I'm feeling kind of contrary, so perversion of prompts may or may not be expected.)

PEE ESS, is LJ crapping out on comment alerts for anyone else? Quel ennui.

Comments

Yes. I'm not getting any of my comment replies at the mo :-P

[sophistry]

A cynic might find something to remark upon in choosing a comment-blackout to ask for drabble prompts. Oh well.

Hmm...anything you like to do with BSG? You always bring the mythology like nobody's business.

IDK, WHAT.

[sophistry]

When the sky opens up for Kara Thrace, she stops being able to hear; the pressure outside plays the metal bones of her Viper like a song, and the Eye unfurls beneath her, like a rose of perfect beauty. Round and round, the clouds go, as Kara sinks down and down - not a fall, but a swan-dive. In each swirl and pocket, she finds a little piece from her life, all a-puzzle, jumbling out from the box that says: Kara Thrace and Her Special Destiny. Now, she is born; now, her fingers in the door, to make them bones too the stronger around the controls of her Viper, that she may not falter.

(And a steady hand worth frak-all if there's not a steady mind behind it; Adama tells her this, rain-tracks on the cockpit glass lining his face with care, and fatherhood.)

And this is the mercy of the gods: if a piece of the puzzle is missing - or warped, from long years of (damp and) disuse, if Pythian Apollo has set a snake in the grass for Eurydice: all is not come to wrack, and ruin.

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
Round and round, the clouds go, as the snake biting its tail, and Kara Thrace flies up, and up. And as the glass shatters, and as the lightning cracks across the end of the song, Kara Thrace sits up from the tall Caprican grass, wet and green with rain, to the musket-crack of her mother's voice.

"Kara. In from the storm," she says, "you stupid child, and if I even think I see mud - "

Just when you thought it was safe to look back into your DT-free fandoms...

Leoben = Stephen King in disguise.

Re: IDK, WHAT.

[sophistry]

That actually makes a little bit more sense than I want to contemplate...

:o SURPRIES OUROBOROS.

Yes, I just took this beautiful piece of fiction and turned it into a cat macro. It is beautiful, despite my general incoherence. And I love the way you've made it fit together with that phrase and the shape of the storm and the snakes and the circular destiny. Which is totally what I meant by surpries ouroboros. Yeah.

Aubrey, Maturin, pirates. PotC flavor or not. This is another in a long line of desired Implausible Crossovers.

Oh, or that RPS thing you were contemplating. I know, I don't like RPS either.

a;lskda;sda I need to make notes for this one or something *_*

SORRY

"Come on," says the castaway, wheedling and dark-eyed; Stephen greatly mislikes the proprietary way he leans in, and he not yet examined for communicables. "The immortal Captain Jack Aubrey. Can't tell me you don't like the sound of that."

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I will be grinning over this for days. HEEE.

Re: SORRY

[sophistry]

...I think I actually just ficbunnied myself, but I need to finish Desolation Island, which I have set aside the past few days because it is close to the end and I do not want it to end! which is why I am not quite as saturated in O'Brianprose as I could be and yes. But there might could be something a little longer than, uh, two lines coming.

Re: SORRY

[unravels.livejournal.com]

:D!!!

I have not read Desolation Island, but if it's that awesome I am adding it to the Book Queue. And! More! *claps hands giddily*
