Today is NFE reveal day! I wrote two stories this year: my assignment and one tiny Madness ficlet. I will talk about each in a separate post.
enchantments: One night, the Lady will let him out of the chair and not recast her spell. Rilian fears that day more than anything. Dark. (450 words, written for
Komadori)
-----
I felt kind of bad for writing dark!fic as a gift when Komadori hadn't specifically asked for dark!fic... so I wrote her more dark!fic as a Madness treat. *headdesk* Yes, that was an excellent plan. There was no way it could possibly go wrong.
On the other hand, I think the resulting ficlet holds up fairly well for something written in half an hour. It's a dark what-if style of AU, where Rilian made one different choice from canon and everything consequently went straight to hell for him, for his would-be rescue party, and for Narnia in general. (The Lady of the Green Kirtle is perfectly pleased with the outcome, of course.)
...
I think the takeaway from my NFE participation this year is that I should probably avoid signing up for exchanges when I'm in a protracted depressive episode. Not only does that make writing difficult, it also seems to affect the tone and style of what I end up producing. *sigh*
