Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Among other things, Vicky's visit was an exchange. She brought me two books she'd borrowed, and took back two bottles of wine that my parents had accidentally left in my refrigerator when they visited a week and a half ago. One of the books was George R. R. Martin's A Feast For Crows, which she wanted to read before she went to Hungary. The other was a collected hardcover edition of Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which for some reason or other had been in her bookcase instead of mine, and thus got left in New Jersey when I finally moved all my stuff -- lock, stock, six bookcases and all -- to Ithaca.
I started rereading them last night, and it became blindingly clear where this particular
thirtyforthree ficlet had its genesis.
( Fairy Tales )
Theme: #4 - Surprise
Warnings: none
ETA:
iponly drew a picture of the princess and the dragon in the comments over at
thirtyforthree!

I have 8 of these ficlets left to write, and 13 left to post. I want to do a couple explorations of the darker side of this threesome, maybe a story or two set in wartime, or a dysfunctional love/lust triangle instead of a true threesome. No ideas are jumping out at me at the moment, though. *sigh*
