SIX-WORD DRABBLES

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

THE QUEEN'S THIEF
THE SIX-WORD DRABBLE FEST

Inspired by lovetip'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

She throws an inkpot at him.
He ducks and grins. "You missed."

They fight again; the attendants shudder.
Playing messenger between monarchs is traumatic.

Irene touches his wrist. Her fault.

COSTIS

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

Gods, serving Eugenides is a challenge.

The guard is like extended family.
More in common than his cousins.

Honor: Costis eats, sleeps, breathes it.

Sometimes Gen smiles like his mother.
His father loves him best then.

Gods damn, Quarkie!

EDDIS

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

Every night, Eddis counts the dead.

The guilt is a lead weight.

After the wedding, she returns alone.

The palace feels emptier than before.

Re: EDDIS

[loquaciousquark.livejournal.com]

AUGH

I'm not very good at this. *draws blank*

[rosaleeluann.livejournal.com]

Eddis smiles, Sophos blushes and dreams.

Attolia's court

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

Understated earrings becomes much more popular.

They hide their jewelry better now.

Heiro sets some out for him.

Awwwww, no, it's cute!

kid!Gen

Cousins don't like tricks involving mud.
The best idea is to run.

Re: Attolia's court

[pico-the-great.livejournal.com]

Hee! A natural outcome to a newly-developed situation!

:D

Re: kid!Gen

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha.

No. No, they don't.

Gen/Irene

[(Anonymous)]

Wood, blade, flesh.

Broken hand. Broken heart.

Heiro: He's going to sneak into our rooms and take things anyways. We might as well leave some out. :|

In the night, Eugenides finds notes.
"Take the emerald ones. They're hers."
At waking, Heiro finds her earrings.
Her sister, of course, does not.

Gen/Irene

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Dancing without a care.

She is beautiful.

For those with eyes to see.

Some hidden in an orange tree.




(errr...did I do it?)

Re: Gen/Irene

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

In the last two, you did!

Re: (continues the theme in drabbles)

[loquaciousquark.livejournal.com]

SO BEAUTIFUL

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

Costis is a studly Attolian guard.

One hot piece of Attolian manflesh.

Our love is epic and true.

Re: Attolia's court

[ilysia-039.livejournal.com]

MUCH LOVE.

[loquaciousquark.livejournal.com]

you are a horrible person and you should feel horrible.

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

You are so predictable. :|

That week they have family lunch.
The king's attendant arrives with gifts.
For Heiro: beautiful, matching emerald earrings.
There's nothing her sister can say.
