Guardian: B&L theme + Sunday 6

[xparrot]

There's a new monthly theme up at the brush_and_lantern : Caves, Courts, Cottages

And I snuck in a bit of last-minute crackfic for the previous theme: i want to believe (alien abduction AU; I did it all for the punchline. the terrible punchline.)

Meanwhile have been struggling with my writing, so am throwing things at the wall to see what sticks...

Just inside the community center, behind the now-empty frames of the double doors of the entryway, was a figure--a shadow against darkness now inside; the light bulbs hadn't survived that blast, either, but the black cloak was darker yet than the unlit gloom within. He was holding his glaive, planted on the floor amid the shattered glass.

Zhao Yunlan grinned at that sight, even with glass crunching under his boots--overkill for sure, but to stop this guy... He lifted one hand, the other still knotted around Yan Shuyuan's collar, and offered a thumbs-up to that figure. "All good, Hei-laoge, we got him..."

The Envoy didn't hear him--no, ignored him. Zhao Yunlan saw his hooded head turn, saw his gaze passing over everyone below--the wailing and cowering crowd, the police officers with their guns drawn. And Zhao Yunlan--but he didn't pause, not meeting his gaze for even a moment, and Zhao Yunlan's hail died in his throat.

Poor babies!

Hopefully we'll have more fun with it than they will? ^^;

I mean, they were both having quite a negative amount of fun in the bit I read up to.

(But I'm having fun! And so I hope are you!)

eheheh...

Well that isn't ominous at all...! Is this connected to the previous Sunday Six where Zhao Yunlan seemed to have amnesia(?) or is it a separate fic entirely?

[xparrot]

Eheh, no this is a different fic (I'm in a bit of a mood dip and so attempting to write my way out of it, which is...not a good time for any character!)

That sounds like a very interesting wall to me!

[xparrot]

Heh, when I get too pressed for words I tend to retreat down familiar paths...of angst and h/c, in this case...!

The punchline is SO GOOD. XDDD

And this...!! You know I am all here for this.
