Regret Eternal

[ithildin]

The lovely mmapmaker challenged me into believing I could actually write just 100 words, so this is for her.

Glass under my feet, his presence fading. He told me he’s leaving because of what I’ve done, but I know that’s not true; it’s because of what I have not done. I should have judged him, turned him away, rejected him utterly. That was what he wanted, what he needed to justify leaving. Because leaving was what he did best. I should have remembered that. Maybe then it wouldn’t have felt as if my soul were dying, maybe then I wouldn’t have hated him. But it was far too late now; loving him was a regret I would never outlive.

Having never written a drabble, I don't know what the posting etiquette is, so suffice to say it's Highlander and Methos -- like that's a surprise :)

Later: you can find the 'sequel' here.

Thank you :) But isn't non txt a slash virtual con? I'm not sure this would be thematically correct :) I don't want to offend anyone.

Here is the only rule for the drabble trees: Doesn't matter what pairing, what rating. Go AU, go crazy, just remember to start the next drabble with the last word of the drabble you're continuing.

Yours would be the first HL drabble, so you've got nothing to remember except to post it in a new thread (I mention this because I messed up with the E! drabble -g-).

At any rate, all discussions are valid. As an example, there are two vid rec discussions going on -- one rec'cing slash vids (as if one were building a panel for con_txt), and one rec'cing gen and het vids, to see what else people like and want to see.

There's a discussion about what it was like to be a fandom newbie, which so far has 120 comments in the thread. They can't all be about slash. -g-

Think you'd like to share?

Think you'd like to share?

Errr.... I think I've had enough to drink to do it... It just makes me kinda nervous, I guess :)

okay, hang on a minute. sorta a mix-up in the drabble trees over in non-txt. let me find out what's what before you post, then we'll know where to post for sure. -g-

Okay, so do I label it? I have, under the cut, Methos, het/gen ? Is that right? Though I suppose it can be ambiguous, yes?

Told you I was nervous :)

[mmapmaker.livejournal.com]

don't be nervous, really! it's good! just hang on a sec while I post a question. -g-

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I posted it already :( I hope I didn't commit any major faux pas.

I'm all twitchy...

[mmapmaker.livejournal.com]
