5 Things Meme—of the Ficlet Variety

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 44 of 51 in the series 365 Challenge

Gacked from penknife:

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 and Thorn Ficlet: Playing with Knives

They all are. It comes back to that whole team members aren't tightly tied to every single other member of the team: their groups are loose around the individual tight relationships.

Meld is extremely close to Shift, Protector, and Rachelle.

Rachelle is close to Justus, Sear, and Kilter.

Justus is close to Shift, Protector, and Rachelle.

Shift is close to Sear, Watcher, and Justus and love/hate with Kilter: she hates to love him.

Sear is close to Shift, Watcher, Rachelle and Kismet.

And so on. I'll stop there because it's frankly too dizzying to try to track relationships outside of the fic. For me anyway. It's in the stories that they are so easy to remember everything about.

Yeah... The connections like that get confusing.

Reminds me of when I had to make graphs for each of the characters in the town I'd created and had all these little scraps of paper to keep track of them.

I think I lost more of those papers than I ever managed to write pieces of the story. That was one of those clear cases of me planning so much that I lost interest in the story, lol.
