Title: Mid-Summer’s Trysting (m/m, Fantasy)

There was much giggling as they left Will on the mound’s grassy slope in a thin white shift with flowers threading his hair and much the worse for drink. The night was still mild and Will lay there gazing up at the stars, smiling, watching as some fell in streaks across the sky. They’d promised that he’d gain his true love or enjoy lust’s satisfaction before morning and he was drunk enough to believe the Fairies’ promises.

Llewellyn, the brawny smith; gathered him up, kissed and called him daft, before stealing away to bed with him; both promises coming true.

Awww - this is fun and sweet and daft - I love it! :)

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like this one better than the other one that was horror.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

LOVELY I loves it, just right for before bed reading :D

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Yes! I like this one better too. My dreams at night are being 'interesting'.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

The 'interesting' doesn't sound good :(
You have a 'nice' habit of posting your horror-bits so that they're lurking there taunting me when I get home from work which means if I pop online I'm reading them just before sleep.
I think it's deliberate, I often imagine I can hear cackling!

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

can't breathe. Am giggling hysterically so badly that it's silent from lack of air.

Sorry. Really not intended. In fact it's labelled for Meep Protection.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

They are now *looks at you*

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Honest. That one was labelled that then too.
You were tired and lulled by the romantic drabble into not looking at the warning label of the other.
I was trying to be careful.

*coughs* I wrote and posted using the prompt of the exorcism note. Nothing horror involved.

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

Hidden in the tags. I like my nice bold NOT FOR MEEP warnings LOL no question about them, except that contrary instinct of rebelling when told NO...*sigh*

YAY FICS

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

If you're going to contrarily rebel and read it anyway.... *snickers*

[mee-eep.livejournal.com]

:P

will-power I haz it...maybe!

Awww, how sweet. Llewellyn better have treated him right.

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Llewellyn will treat him right. He's probably had his eye on Will for a while and been chatting him up.
Imagine that there's an apprenticeship involved too. Though one has to be hard on apprentices sometimes, the benefits are equally hard.

I'm too lazy to comment on both, but I like how you've managed to write in twist/unexpected endings. That's not easy to do in only 100 words!

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Those 100 words aren't coming as easily as before probably because I want to wax long *sighs* and I actually have a point that I'm aiming for instead of letting the words go where they want.

[rout-of-snails.livejournal.com]

I can't write anything in 100 words. It's probably something I should try in a quest to develop clarity, but ... well, it's hard!

Go you for keeping at it and aiming for a point. Seriously not easy.

The site, which at work I find by googling drabble cascade, XXX Fantasy or something like that puts out a prompt word on Tuesdays. Sometimes an idea comes and sometimes it is a struggle or I don't like what I've written. The site posts their takes on the prompt so it's fun.

[rout-of-snails.livejournal.com]

I'm imagining you Googling 'XXX fantasy' at work. And I'm laughing because if your job's filter is anything like that at my school...

Oh, I'm the least mature person I know, I think!

I generally don't lack for ideas. The ability to write about an idea in a concise way, though? Yeah, right...
