queensthiefTHE SIX-WORD DRABBLE FEST
Inspired bylovetip's Percy Jackson Six-Word Drabble Fest.
Each drabble is supposed to stand on its own with only six words. It can be prose, dialogue, whatever, and the drabbles can link together cohesively into a bigger unit, but in the end the point is to write a drabble with only six words.
You can post as many as you like, but my only restriction is your comment should only contain one pairing/character. So you can have twelve "drabbles" for Gen/Irene in the same comment, but a Costis character study needs its own comment.
In the subject line, write the pairing/character. Also: this isn't like a kink meme, guys. You don't put in requests, you write actual drabbles... in case I didn't make that clear.
And it goes without saying, but...no spoilers from A Conspiracy of Kings.
I thought this might be fun. :)
GEN/IRENE
Date: 2/17/10 02:36 am (UTC)He ducks and grins. "You missed."
They fight again; the attendants shudder.
Playing messenger between monarchs is traumatic.
Irene touches his wrist. Her fault.
Re: GEN/IRENE
Date: 2/17/10 06:37 am (UTC)COSTIS
Date: 2/17/10 02:44 am (UTC)The guard is like extended family.
More in common than his cousins.
Honor: Costis eats, sleeps, breathes it.

Some hidden in an orange tree.

From:The Epic of the Soap
Date: 2/17/10 04:16 am (UTC)That damn thief smells surprisingly... tolerable.
The Magus learns a hard lesson.
Never trust Useless with your soap.

From:Gen/Irene
Date: 2/17/10 04:33 am (UTC)She kisses his eye.
She kisses his ears.
She kisses his lips.
He trusts her. She believes him.
queen thief/minister of war
Date: 2/17/10 04:36 am (UTC)She flirts, smiling: steals his heart.
As she fell, the world darkened.
His heart is heavier now, forever.
Thieves, warriors, all doomed to die.
Legacy born to steal and rule.

From:Cousins/baby!Gen
Date: 2/17/10 04:48 am (UTC)They laughed loud when he cried.
Pulling him out of the water.
He began to sputter outrageous insults.
They didn't believe him until tommorow.
When they lost their precious belongings
They cried with much more sorrow.

From:Gen and Irene
Date: 2/17/10 04:48 am (UTC)She is beautiful but not kind.
He watches her as she sleeps.
She doesn't know what she wants,
Shadows to be empty or not.
She wonders why he loves her,
He says, "You are My Queen."

From:Gen/Irene or Gen/Eddis |: /indecisive
Date: 2/17/10 05:10 am (UTC)When he spoke, the gods listened.
Of all humanity, he was theirs.
All she wanted was his freedom.
Re: Gen/Irene or Gen/Eddis |: /indecisive
Date: 2/17/10 05:19 am (UTC)Could definitely go both ways...
Sophos/Eddis
Date: 2/17/10 05:11 am (UTC)He sits under the apricot trees.
Often he smiles into the distance.
He thinks only of her smile.
Sophos and Helen
Date: 2/17/10 05:18 am (UTC)Sophos likes to read and write.
Sophos writes letters addressed to Eddis,
"Dear Helen, I think you're awesome!"
Sophos is shy, he usually blushes.
Helen is kind but not beautiful.

Re: Sophos and Helen
From:Gen/Attolia
Date: 2/17/10 05:30 am (UTC)For days, she can't tell him.
A mother with hands stained red.
A father with only one hand.
She doubts him not at all.
But a monster with a child?
A few careless words from Chloe.
The grin gone. A blank face.
A passionate kiss before the court.
They will love this new child.
With him, she is not afraid.
Re: Gen/Attolia
Date: 2/17/10 05:34 am (UTC)it's so...beautiful
Re: Gen/Attolia
From:Helen & Irene
Date: 2/17/10 06:19 am (UTC)She hated her beautiful namesake, sometimes.
Two queens: mirrors, opposites, rivals--allies?
Women ruling a man's harsh world.
"We think alike," Eddis remarks thoughtfully.
"That's what worries me," replies Attolia.
One too lovely to be used;
one too energetic to be contained.

From:Gen/Irene
Date: 2/17/10 05:43 pm (UTC)Of all the possible dancing bears
Singlehandedly he would dance the best
And she would always be safe
No need to bother with hairpins
The orange trees so far away
