B5 FIC: LA DELUGE 1/1

[kangeiko]

This was written for 15minuteficlets, but as it took me closer to half an hour to write, I didn't think it fair to post it there. But, er, here it is. Written for the challenge of picture #18.

For those unfamiliar with 15minuteficlets, you are given a picture or a word and then you write non-stop for fifteen minutes (or thereabouts). So, obvious warnings - not betaed, possibly

Ooh. I liked this. I really, really liked this. Nice symmetry!

[kangeiko]

Thanks honey, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's beautiful, and it works for me, both the symmetry and the final image of Londo's handprint. (Which brings back all sorts of reflections, no pun intended, to how the hand imagery was used on the show.)

[kangeiko]

Thanks! :)

I do love the picture they let us use as inspiration, it has to be said. I saw it and Londo immediately popped into my head. Of course, G'Kar won the toss, so...

I think maybe what I like most about your writing style is the use of distance. It was beautiful in Rampion and beautiful here; it's such a distinct, eerie, and all-in-all good take on Londo and G'Kar. And the weather...

"Such a decadent, lavish world that even the trees had flowers" is a great line, and so Narn.

[kangeiko]

Thank you! The distance you mentioned does worry me on occasion... it feels like neither Londo or G'Kar actually want to talk to me or my muse; they're sending me notes via courier instead.

It's taken me far too long to find and comment on this, but I liked it a lot. The image of the rain falling on the dome above G'Kar's childhood home is one that will stick with me.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :)
