You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in comments. (examples: "Five SG-1 Mission Reports That Were Less Than Entirely Truthful", or "Five Times Bruce Banner Lost His Toothbrush," or "Five Ways Nikola Tesla Failed to Take Over the World"). I'll answer with a list of five things.
Ideally fandoms that I know something about, unless you want me to guess, which could be entertaining but probably not the way you want. Or (and preferably) original fiction. All storyworlds on the table, i.e. Seven Days, Kingdoms and Thorn, the Alliance, Vardin, etc.

Re: Kingdoms & Thorn Commentfic: It Came Up
Date: 2013-09-01 02:19 am (UTC)Note: this is waaaaaaay early on in their relationship. At this point in time, Shift owns him. She trained him and she can and does play him as she needs to. Note: their relationship is messed up, but not romantic. Shift is only in love with one man (who she hates just as much), and it isn't Justus.
Rachelle chose to intervene in that relationship for a good reason, but I haven't figured out how to fully address the way that dynamic works yet in fiction. At least fiction you'll like. Still working on it. I got this far, then realized the bit worked on its own for the prompt, so posted it.

I admit, I'm relieved it's not Justus because... I could see her needing someone like him and he did remind her that she had a heart, so I'd almost want him to pick her because she seems more damaged by what happened and what she did and would need him more if that makes sense.
It is interesting that she chose to intervene.

But let's just say the second time Rachelle showed up outside Justus' room, she told him, "I'm here to keep you from getting too attached." Falling in love with Shift is a beyond bad, bad idea and so he named her Guardian.
