Setting - Following 'One Sunday Night (Eyghon V)

Aftermath (Eyghon V)

He looks around, and it makes him want to scream. But he knows that if he starts he’ll never stop.

So much devastation - Never seen anything like it before.

So much blood - Who knew that one slim body could hold so much?

He can hear a sound, an odd little whimper, and it takes a few ( Read more... )

Setting: Some time between Eyghon III and Solutions

Characters: Giles and Randal

One Sunday Night (Eyghon IV)

“Come on Ripper,” he pestered, in that tone I was certain had been developed to annoy, “give someone else a shot.”

I glared, a trick usually only failed on Ethan, but he didn’t flinch, “What makes you think a two-bob magician-wannabe could ( Read more... )

Setting - After ‘Importance’
A Welcome For The Weary

It was pathetic really, the lantern sitting, burning in the window, waiting for me. Pathetic, traditional, ritualistic tripe.

I’d made clear I was no fan of tradition or ritual, but something about this…

And even from here I could feel the spell woven around it.

Surprising, considering I’d taken off ( Read more... )

Well, you’ve four six of the blighters. But it’s kinda hard to get anything that cheery out of ‘haunt’. So I wrote the first one to make up for the others. Originally it was only going to be ‘Acceptance’ but when the one drabble stretched to a perfect 200 word, with the split-point in the exact centre… LMAO

‘Haunted’ comes just before ‘Ethan’, ‘ ( Read more... )

“Magick Of…” is set between “All Work… II” and “Importance” and “Games…” somewhere between “Importance” and “Eyghon I”. Warning for the second one - the usual (a little light slash) " Enjoy.
The Magick Of Flight

Ethan wiped at tears. His usual wicked smirk had been replaced by amusement, and he was gasping, “Honestly, Ripper. What are you on, mate?”

I ( Read more... )

Setting: Between 'All Work...1' and 'First Time...'

The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back

I saw immediately the way my father looked at her, the sixteen year-old usurper that the Council left at our place, under his protection.

It was an odd mixture of affection, pride, respect and reverence that I noted.

Intelligent, fast, strong, and obedient, she ( Read more... )

Okay, so I sat down. I was maybe gonna do two or three drabbles, max. And discovered ‘Answer’ to be one of the easiest prompts I’ve written for. I think I may have gotten a little carried away.

But hey, you got ten… um… bugger… eleven drabbles out of it. LMAO. Warnings: A touch of slash around the end, a lot of language, and a dash of violence. Also ( Read more... )

Another pair of RipperWorld drabbels.

First one is set before 'The First Time..." Second one is before "Eyghon I."

All Work and No Play I

My head throbbed, and the words on the page swum and blurred before my eyes, as I stared at the page that I’d been looking at for the last hour without really taking in.

I pulled my glasses off and rubbed at them, in ( Read more... )

RipperWorld

Only two, but they’re cut for language and adult themes. And a huge thank-you to the people who are following these. It’s nice to know that they’re being read and appreciated. First one is set around ‘The First Times The Charm.’ Second one somewhere around ‘Back 01’.

It’s cut because there are four of ‘em.

I’ve been sorting out a mini-timeline as each of these drabbles has been born. Eyghon I & II come somewhere between ‘Bridge’ and ‘’Back 01’. ‘Talking Helps I’ is around 'Clash'. 'Talking Helps II' falls somewhere between ‘Back 01’ and ‘Fond Thoughts’.
