Fic: Camelot is a Silly Place | LotS | C/D, R/K | PG

May 26, 2010 11:10

Watched the "Legend of the Seeker" finale on Monday 5/24/10, wrote this on Tuesday afternoon in a pitiful attempt to stretch my atrophied fic muscles. This is not GOOD writing, but it's fiction writing, and I'm settling for that today.

( Camelot is a Silly Place )

lots, fic

this is soooo cute! please write more of Cara/Dahlia! i love this version of Dahlia. she's a feisty one... :)

Thanks! Glad you liked lippy Dahlia here, as I couldn't imagine BAMF Cara falling for some wilting flower pushover (or that Leo guy).

Great story!
“That which does not kill me has made a tactical error,” Cara retorted.
Thanks for a "happy" ending for Cara.

Thanks much! I, too, prefer happy endings for sharp anti-heroes.

Entwined at the edge of a dance floor, they were tucked in a bottomless pocket of time, snug as a hollow log big enough for two.
D'awwwwwwww!

Very sweet story. I have to say, though, my favorite bit was this:

“And they say that which does not kill us makes us stronger.”

“That which does not kill me has made a tactical error,” Cara retorted.

Lulz. Awesome.

Glad you enjoyed the fic - and liked the joke I lifted from Howard Tayler's comics. Google "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates" for more Cara-esque quasi-evil wit.

Another favorite HT line I could see her delivering? "A soft answer turneth away wrath. When wrath is looking the other way, hit it in the back of the head."

Ooh, thanks I will definitely look up Howard Tayler's stuff. You're right, it sounds *very* Cara.

She's got enough presence that you barely notice the shortness. Happy you enjoyed the fic - thanks for reading. :)

"Because I don't want this."

Cara breaks my heart sometimes.

This was wonderful, thank you.

liz_estrada May 27 2010, 19:34:57 UTC

Aww, don't be sad for Cara. I'm sure countless ficcers are out there plotting ways to make her *ahem* happy in perpetuity.

Thanks for reading. Glad to know you enjoyed the story. :)
