Grading Hell and a prompt meme

[eirenical]

OMFG.

IF I NEVER GRADE ANOTHER PAPER AS LONG AS I LIVE, IT WILL BE TOO SOON.

That was just... it was painful. Really. I need to scrub my brain clean from all that atrocious grammar. UGH.

So... a prompt meme. ^_~

Use one of your favorite icons, and post a ONE WORD prompt with it in the comments. I will then write you a ficlet to go with it.

Ooooh, you should do this meme every night. I like waking up to notifications of things like this waiting in my inbox.

I love how part 1/3 could have been a complete and satisfying snippet all on its own and yet you kept going anyway. Note: NOT COMPLAINING. In the slightest. I love it.

I wasn't entirely sure I was on board with the idea that Hal had recruited Fergus when we talked about it a while back, but yes, you won me over here, and left me wanting >10k of Hal and Fergus throughout the years.

Also, Fergus's voice here. Perfect. (I mean, not that he says a lot, but he says enough and I could hear his voice on all of it)

Also ALL THE HAL AND SNOW. So messed up.
It had taken weeks, months, maybe only days -- Hal was no longer quite sure -- for Hal to begin to crack
This entire section and everything before this and all the stuff after this. YES.

Love the image of Fergus leaving Hal with that serving maid and then coming back to find him hiding from himself in the bedroom.

You realize that this is just going to have me pushing you harder to finish that other story you'd been talking about, right? Because now you HAVE to write that. Well, unless you put it off to write ALL the Hal/Fergus. That would be more than okay too.

AW. ^_^ *tail wag* Well, I feel pretty much the same way about waking up to a notification about such lovely feedback, so you'd better watch it -- it's possible I'll take you up on that offer. ^_~ I'm glad you enjoyed it! TBH, I was a little terrified to read through it this morning because I'd convinced myself that I was entirely incoherent by the time I finished it. Glad to see that wasn't the case. ;)

Re: >10k of Hal and Fergus
Uh... yeah, about that... It's possible you may get it. Because I ended up rewatching like two or three episodes last night to research for writing this and that kind of reminded me of how much I loved Fergus and... it kind of opened a floodgate. -.-;;; So, I'm glad you're on board! ^_^

Re: Hal/Snow
I had really intended that to be more explicit, but I think Mr. Snow likes his privacy too much. So, I'm glad that all worked for you!

Love the image of Fergus leaving Hal with that serving maid and then coming back to find him hiding from himself in the bedroom.

Uh... you know what? I'm putting my response to this bit in an e-mail, because it got ridiculously long. ^_^

You realize...
Yes. Yes, I do. I'm surprisingly OK with that. Because apparently I needed a little push.

Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoyed it -- especially because, for now, anyway, it looks like it's about to become part of something much larger. ^_~
