[Guilty Gear fic] Normal Continuity Will Be Restored Shortly
Bit of light relief between all those big projects: here's a drabble written as gift-fic for velithya (though also because wordiness is one of my worst habits and some practice with a form that forces you to be concise is always a good exercise - not to mention an attempt to exorcise one of those cheesier ideas that nags at me from time to time in some kind of safe and controlled manner. velithya is now conspiring to make sure that one backfires at me as badly as possible x_x)
Title: Normal Continuity Will Be Restored Shortly
Word count: 100 (we are very traditional about drabbles around here)
Characters/Pairing: Well, it's like this - I'm posting it to solxky, but, technically speaking...
Ky offers the man a hand up, only to find he’s not slumped against the wall but slouched, watching with naked appreciation, face so impossibly familiar it stops Ky cold.
“Nice. Lightning magic? Never seen it handled like that.”
“Ah, I’m…” A bit far from home? How does he explain himself with only the faintest, horrible suspicion of how he arrived… wherever this is? “I’m… Ky Kiske.”
The grip on his hand isn’t quite a handshake. “Call me Frederick.”
The name echoes, hard and wrong and real, but even afterwards part of him insists it must have been another one.
