Free drabbles for blind_go guessers!

[flonnebonne]

Okay! I've decided to bite the bullet and write a drabble for anyone who correctly guessed one of my blind_go fics. tarigwaemir and silvermuse89 also get a drabble each for being such great mods.

Please reply to this post with a character or pairing and some kind of prompt, and I'll write you something really short. :D Anything from my list of interests is fine, but if you pick something obscure I might ask you to refresh my memory on the source material.

I'm sure much of my flist is sick of hearing about blind_go, but I think this should be the last post for a while. 0_o[Unknown site tag]

Yay! <3 Um, if it isn't too much to ask, can I request Ender's Game fic? Character: Ender with Dragon Army, prompt: vertigo. ^_^ (I've always wanted to read more Ender's Game fic from you after that crossover you wrote. XD)

Heh, way to pick an awesome request!


Vertigo

Dragon Army was finally starting to come together.

"I'm gonna puke," said Hot Soup as he flew threw space.

"I'm gonna nuke," said Crazy Tom as he pointed his flash gun at Hot Soup.

"Chinese food for dinner, ne?" added Vlad.

"Eh, I'd rather have some of old Bean here," jumped in Dumper.

"I'm tasty, but I'm not for you," said Bean.

"Yeah, Dumper, go take a dump."

"But don't eat any beans first."

"Gross."

"Seriously, I have to puke," said Hot Soup.

"Gross."

"You and Dumper should go to the toilet together!" said Crazy Tom.

"Great honeymoon spot, the toilet."

Ender used his hook to bring himself to Hot Soup's side. He took hold of Hot Soup's arms and turned him to face in the proper direction.

"The gate is down," Ender told them. "You won't get disoriented if you remember that. The enemy's gate is always down."

Then Ender actually looked down and saw Alai standing just beyond the gate. Alai, who was watching Dragon Army from below with those scrutinizing eyes of his.

Ender felt vertigo hit him for the the first time in a long time.

"Hey commander guy, this is your army speaking, we gonna play Cowboys and Indians or what?" said Crazy Tom.

"I'm game," said Ender.

He nodded at Alai, who nodded back. He reminded himself there was solid ground somewhere beneath all this space. Then he turned back to his army.

-End-


p.s. I really wanted to refer to a particular image from the book that describes Ender and Alai's relationship: there's a wall between them but there are also deep roots holding strong below. I couldn't work it in though. :(

I get the feeling that I might have stolen Dragon Army's jokes from Orson Scott Card, but I don't have any of my Ender books here so I can't check. If you (or anyone) happen to notice any lines I've accidentally plagiarized, let me know, will ya?

And do you know if is there good Ender's Game fic being written out there? You've rekindled my love for Dragon. :)

Ohmygosh! You have their banter down pat. ^______^ (And as far as I can tell, none of it is from the book, so I wouldn't worry.) I'm so amazed at how perfect the dialogue sounds! And so much love for the Ender/Alai moment. *_*

Alas, I don't know of good Ender's Game fic. I did come across a decent one on ff.net and a few, er, mindbending ones on enderslash several years ago, but that's about it. (And certainly not enough on Dragon! ;_;)

[flonnebonne]

Glad you liked! Cardian dialogue is surprisingly easy to write once you get started...it's just like talking crap with your friends. Really! *_*

I'm more worried about having stolen dialogue from the Bean books than the original Ender's Game, because I can't remember those books all that well, but it's a relief to hear you say it's legit!

Oh god, there's an enderslash com? I have to go check this out. Wish me luck. O_o

EeeEeaAARRrgghhh!!!

My eyes! I have been struck blind!

Why Bonzo? Sure he's Spanish and Spanish means hot, but still. Bonzo!

I have to admit I like this Dink/Ender one though, in all its underaged NC17 glory: http://community.livejournal.com/enderslash/1445.html#cutid1

[troisroyaumes]

Yes, I liked the Dink/Ender one too. ^_^ Not sure why Bonzo/Ender even exists. ::mildly horrified:: It wasn't there last time I visited the comm. But why isn't there more Ender/Alai or at least Ender/Bean? ;_;

[flonnebonne]

Exactly! Ender/Alai is totally canon as long as you ignore the fact that kissing is a regular greeting in Middle Eastern cultures and doesn't necessarily mean tru wuv. And Ender/Bean certainly makes sense!

Dink needs more love, despite his unfortunate name. He doesn't even get Petra in the end, poor guy.
