[OOC] FIC THINGS

[tengu_topper]

So I am trying to get into the habit of writing again. THIS IS GOING SLOWLY, but I thought I would throw it out there for anyone interested. 8(

Give me a prompt + one of mine + one of yours and I will write shortfic for them. I don't say drabbles because that means 100 words to me, and I AM A WORDY BASTARD AT TIMES. Castmates are allowed to

all my love, all--

Something cool touched her hand. She jumped with a squeak, and there was the medicine-seller, his strange pale eyes unreadable.

"Careful," he said. "There is--danger. In going too deep ..." He closed the box, and abruptly the air cleared. He looked satisfied, though what he had really gained (beyond money, but even that couldn't be all of it, right?), she couldn't tell.

He smiled at her when she got up to leave. The impression she couldn't shake, though, even much later, was the feeling that he had been laughing at her the entire time.

No worries, he seems like a tricky character to play and you do a great job with him. A-and same timezone here too so I'll keep that in mind if pokings are needed. |D

That said, thank you for the drabble, it's beautiful and haunting and I love it! ;o;d
