Morning guys,

You're awesome. You get me over my grouchiness.

Ok, today we're doing prompts. I stole hearts_blood's giant prompt list last week (same one as we used at the weekend, laura_lee_bsgers) and it's pretty awesome ( Read more... )

333 - Dancing in the fountain - Tory and the Five lizardbeth_j January 24 2012, 21:32:06 UTC

When Ellen announces she's found the key, she wants a celebration. It's a beautiful day so they head outside. Saul and Ellen have the booze, of course, and Galen buys a ridiculously expensive basket of early season figs. Sam has his guitar and he plays silly songs he makes up on the spot. The songs get worse as he gets drunker until he's singing something about the fruit trees and failing to find a word that rhymes with orange ( ... )

This is lovely! And then you get that last paragraph and a chill comes over it and you shiver.

Wonderful stuff!

thanks!

Yeah, their lives are about to get really terrible. :(

Oooh I really liked this!

thanks! :)

I love this! With the line about Saul and Ellen having the booze, "of course," and the ridiculously expensive figs. I want to draw hearts around Sam making up songs and drunkenly trying to rhyme with orange.

And I love Tory in this. She feels real.

oh, thanks! Especially about Tory since I don't think I've ever written her POV before.

This took my breath away. You make Tory so likable and tragically hopeful, even with knowing what's to come. Wonderful little details and makes me want to know more about that life on that Earth. And I can really see her and Galen in this.

Re: 333 - Dancing in the fountain - Tory and the Five lizardbeth_j January 25 2012, 04:35:31 UTC

thank you!

The whole Tory/Galen thing is just so deliciously ironic and tragic...

This is wonderful. I love the joy with the hints of darkness creeping over the edges.

Re: 333 - Dancing in the fountain - Tory and the Five lizardbeth_j January 25 2012, 05:00:48 UTC

thanks! BSG doesn't lend itself to only joy very well - always something awful on the way.

Re: 333 - Dancing in the fountain - Tory and the Five gracent_dic January 25 2012, 05:09:36 UTC

So much love for this. I already like Tory, but I absolutely love this side of her. And this is all hopeful and painful all at the same time. Just beautiful.
