Inspiration Day: Drabble Time

Jul 17, 2015 12:31

This is a suggestion made by fragrantwoods a few weeks ago, and I think it's a great idea. If it works, we may start alternating our Fridays between this, and our regular Friday prompting.

The prompt for the week is "sugar and spice" (mostly because I'm currently drinking ginger tea, but hey ( Read more... )

Tamarindo Tango (Lee/Kara) fragrantwoods July 19 2015, 02:42:42 UTC

Zak told him once that Kara was rough around the edges but sweet in her own way…sweet as candy. He’d smirked when he’d said it, crowing in his older brother’s face.

Lee had to agree. Kara was sweet as candy, all right.

Scorpion ginger pepper candy, maybe, pulpy and tart, rough with sugar crystals, salt, and chili, smoky hot and sour-sweet. The first taste was sharp and strong, then a sugar rush, then the burn building to a scorching finish.

Never again, why would anyone want this, you’d say, before finding yourself reaching for more.

One more taste of Kara.

Love this description of Kara!

I hoped you would :-) Thanks!

Ooh - this is great, and I love that while it's basically a [really apt] description of Kara, the nuances of sibling rivalry between Zak and Lee that starts it all off really rang true and echoes in the rest of it. It makes a really powerful impact. :D

They must have been an interesting set of siblings to raise :-) Thanks for reading!

Yes! This is the perfect description of Kara in candy form. ;) And now you've made me want mango candy with lime and chili...yum!

Re: Tamarindo Tango (Lee/Kara) fragrantwoods July 19 2015, 19:57:12 UTC

Glad you liked! I love Thai tamarind candy but it's sooo much sugar... And now I must seek mango candy!

You write such incredibly evocative description, hon, so you can end up sensing it, exactly.

Gorgeous.
