Skins: 'Painted Blind' (gen 1 + gen 2)

[redsilverchains]

I wrote something! It's only a double drabble but I'm feeling accomplished :D

Title: Painted Blind
Fandom: Skins
Characters: Effy, Tony, Michelle, Freddie, Emily, Sid, Cassie, and JJ
Word Count: All of 'em in 200 words (?!)
Note: Yup, Cassie’s talking about the legend of Hero and Leander. Also, I swear I thought up that universe line before I saw

Really good job - you've managed to do a lot with not very many words, and that's a difficult skill to master, I think. And Effy at the end, what a perfectly fucked up note to end on.

Thank you so much! I really do love writing these small character studies and I always try to work at that skill.

With the last line, I wasn’t thinking of ending the fic on a disturbing note…but then it’s Effy and well, the fic just wanted to end with her and the bomb and counting down because that’s how she sees it. Oh, Effy. It’s really so tragic that she had this destructive view on love while it was changing everyone all around her.

This fic is flawless.

Thank you so much! I'm really proud of the way it turned out.
