Sunday Six: I'll give you one guess, plus another ficlet

[xparrot]

Posted a ficlet, Guardian of course, pure fluff (literally; there's flannel PJs): as is deemed reasonable & necessary

The 30 Days of Guardian that has been going around on dw has been so much fun to read; I'm behind everyone else now doing it but tempted to start anyway...(never done a meme like that...I don't think I've managed daily posts for a month since, uh, ever...?)

Sunday Six(ish) is from the amnesia fic that's nearly done...it's, uh, only about twice as long as I thought it would be? That's honestly an improvement for me? ^^; It's like all action-adventure and banter; Guardian just brings out the old-school ficcer in me...

"If you meant it before," Zhao Yunlan said, "about keeping these kids safe--then maybe it won't be so bad, us working together."

There was a pause. Then the Envoy said, evenly and quietly enough to make it hard to read his tone, "So, I'm to understand that if I cooperate with you now, I'll find you more agreeable in our future partnership. While as if I do not, then you'll be...less amenable to work with."

"Oh, I can go way beyond less amenable," Zhao Yunlan assured him. "Try intractable. Hostile. Dissentious. One of my instructors at the academy used 'recalcitrant and intransigent' on an official review. You could pull rank all you want, but I'd make your every interaction with the SID a living hell."

"I don't doubt it," the Envoy said, but he didn't sound overly bothered.

Awwwwww babies! I am so excited for this fic :D Action-adventure + banter is a great trope.

You should definitely do the 30 days! I see no requirement to post every day (I'm certainly not), just that there will be a total of 30 posts once you're done...

Hee! ^^ I have to decide whether I'm going to post this thing as a multi-parter (probably quick, over the course of a week or something) or just dump it on AO3 in one go...(of course I have to finish it first but I have hopes to push through that tonight, will see?)

I keep mentally writing 30-day posts in my head, so I should just try writing them down!

(also aww that icon!Shen Wei is such a cutie, that fluffy hair!)

One of my instructors at the academy used 'recalcitrant and intransigent' on an official review.

Zhao Yunlan is actually quite good at playing the politics game...but if he doesn't feel like it, WHEW BOY I do not envy you...
