WRITING CHAT THINGY O'CLOCK.

[pocky_slash]

Hello, all. It is time for WRITING CHAT THINGY. As I have taken to calling it. For those who are new around these parts, it's a group chat where we share prompts to write fifteen minute ficlets. If you haven't come before but want to try it out, don't be afraid to stop by

Unrelated but THANK YOU for the card! I love the drunk shark.

[a fragile connection] The Uncanny Valley- Original Fiction

I dream, sometimes

Oh, ow - and I mean that in the best way possible.

Re: [a fragile connection] The Uncanny Valley- Original Fiction

[metonymy]

I LIKE it. Especially the last few paragraphs, where the whole world of this story opens up.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a robot war... ;)

[a fragile connection] Like Lazarus - Inception - Arthur/Ariadne

If this hadn't happened, she wouldn't be here

I always have a hard time writing in his voice, so thank you for letting me know it worked! <3

This is all the best kind of heartbreaking.

(Seriously -- I'm having difficulty *not* reading it, and I've not seen the movie!)

[a fragile connection] Focus - X-Men: First Class - Charles

[afrocurl]

It starts in fits--coming, going, phasing. In, out. It must be the drugs, it must be.

Shifting back and forth, or trying, Charles lifts himself up, as best he can, and tries to orient himself.

His mind isn’t reaching far. He can’t seem to push himself into the hallway. It’s never been this hard for him.

Calm yourself, he mentally prods, knowing that there’s a valid explanation

Re: [a fragile connection] Focus - X-Men: First Class - Charles

[afrocurl]

He's determined if nothing else. I don't think that changes from the Prof X we saw in FC or what we know from the first movies.

[neurotictealeaf]

Oh, Charles. *flaily hands*

[a fragile connection] Truce - XMFC - Charles/Erik

[pocky_slash]

It's been an hour and neither of them have moved. They've barely spoken, really, and the ticking of the old grandfather clock feels loud enough to make the walls shake. Erik is pointedly not looking at the wheelchair, nor anywhere near it, which gives Charles the advantage of being able to study him without being studied in return. The past five years have not been kind to Erik--he's sharper and looks exhausted, edgy, anxious. Charles knows he's lost his own boyish charm, but he'd like to think he's more settled than Erik, that he's aged without quite so many worry lines

So gorgeous. I don't really try to connect the first X-Men movies with First Class, but I always wondered how Charles and Erik got from the beach to playing chess and fighting over ideological differences again.

[neurotictealeaf]

Nnnnnnngh. That's all I've got. SUBTEXT IS MY FAVORITE TEXT.

My heart wants to break into tiny pieces from this, I will have you know.

It's heartfelt in that pain, however. Watching two loves become enemies isn't easy to convey over an awkward conversation, but this does just that.
