Another Day, Another Drabble

[ithildin]

[sigh] I committed drabble. This one I blame on killabeez :)

Methos stood on the cliff, the ocean a maelstrom below him. Surely the roar of the crashing waves was no more violent than storm that raged in his soul. Could what they were survive? Or were the broken pieces of that life beyond mending, beyond healing? He didn’t know anymore. Didn’t know if the pain of even the attempt was something he could bear. So much had been lost that his impulse was to disappear, remake himself, and to leave this life behind like so many withered autumn leaves. Leave before the first brush of winter could touch his heart.


Okay, now can I work on my story? [baps muse] I really want to write the bit where Methos is the apothecary for the court of Henry VIII at the very least!

BTW, the entire Highlander Drabble Tree can be found here. Many wonderful pieces for you to read.

Thank you :) I wrote it in between writing "Takasago's Pines". On the same Word Doc in fact.

I loved it.

Will Ith's Muse allow her to write her story with Methos in the court of Henry the VIII....pretty please

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It's going to be more him telling a story about something that happened there, as opposed to a story set there. don't want you to get your hopes up :)

Glad you liked the drabble.

Aww, Methos. *offers him a beer, and an excuse to stay for another half an hour*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I beat him up pretty bad before I let him be happy [g]

there's some mighty hot stuff going on over there....

you're doing some lovely work. aren't drabbles fun? they're so addictive!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I have you to thank :) Though I still think it's pretty damn funny that het girl is contributing to a very slashy drabble fest [g]

[mmapmaker.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of that. sorry? not! -g-

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

No, it's been worth it if only because it's tilting my long time slashy friends' perception of the universe on its ear [weg] I don't get to shock my nearest and dearest too often!

And of course it's great that everyone is having so much fun!

That's the best part -- everyone is so obviously having a fabulous time, so I can't feel bad for encouraging you to play in the first place. This one had slash, but it might just have easily not have. -g-
