But I'm just in the middle of proof-reading thesisness and don't have time to finish it. Then I thought that you guys could help me out ( Read more... )

He's standing in the castle courtyard. The cobbles are slick and shining brightly with recent rain. Everything is washed in shades of grey, even his own clothes and his hands look like parchment. He looks around bewildered at the battlements, the gate, the stairs and walkways - there's not another living soul ( ... )

This is excellent! I always wondered what happened to Roger. It's unlikely he would have just been imprisioned, and I like the idea of this haunting Allan.

Re: Allan wastingyourgum November 3 2009, 19:19:26 UTC

Thanks! I thought Roger was definitely dead (he looks dead at the end of the ep and if he wasn't he's bound to be sooner rather than later) and yes Allan might try to weasel out of it and tell himself it wasn't his fault but he'd know it was really.

Awwwwwww, poor Allan! I love this, it just feels so right. Lovely bittersweet foreshadowing too. And is it me, or am I feeling shades of the Aeneid in there?[1] Yay, well done!

[1] Palinurus and all that, if you know it - book 6 stuff.

Thanks!

And absolutely that's what I was referencing...

Heads for Wikipedia... ;)

Oh, this was fabulous. Great job with the black and white and shades of gray.

Thank you!

Now if I can just get that damn Monkees song out of my head... ;)

Brilliant. And so sad.

He tears it off again but as soon as it leaves his hands another identical one seems to bubble up from under his skin, like black blood from an old wound, spreading across his torso and arms.

Great imagery! Well done!
