There is honour to be found in a life not of action, but of preparation and watchfulness and endurance.
I love that, and the whole "Beacon Keepers" story. Dear Pippin, happy that the long years of steadfast diligence of these folk finally bears fruit... or catches fire.
Thanks, Janet. The beacon lighting segment is one of my favorite parts of all the movies and I got to wondering about the people who tended the beacons and lived in pretty inhospitable conditions, to say the least. And that led to this story... :-)
I read all three of these and I liked them. My favourite was Martin's Day because there isn't actually very much in the way of fanworks out there that I've seen and what I have seen was shippy in some way, which... that's just not interesting to me. This bit of background info on Martin was. Sounds exactly like him. I especially liked that you managed to get the bit in about him wanting to be an aeroplane. I've always loved that line. :)
Aww, it's so lovely of you to have read all three stories!
I'm really glad you liked Martin's Day. While I don't mind shipping Martin with Douglas, I enjoy him just as much as his own character. And I've always loved that bit about him wanting to be an aeroplane, too. It had to be in the story!!
Thank you!!
ETA: in keeping with today's Snowflake challenge, I'd like to friend you and if you are so inclined, please friend me back. Any fan of Martin is someone I'd like to be friends with. :-)
Cabin Pressure is that BBC radio series, right? The one with Benedict Cumberbatch? Not exactly familiar with it but I've listened to one episode ( because of Benedict ). Looking forward to reading that, and the the other two, too :)
