Fic: Monophobia

[vilakins]

I finally got round to putting my Labor Day story on my site. :-P The theme this year was Room 101, as in the characters' greatest fear. In mine, Vila and Avon find out what Blake's is, then wonder about each other's. I adapted a b7friday story for the opening scene, then went from there.

OH, I really, really REALLY loved that - so perfect and true to both of them, and the last sentence made me lagh out loud - Avon's his own worst enemy in so many ways.

:-D Paranoia strikes deep!

*grins* Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.

Asimov, Tales of the Black Widowers, The Acquisitive Chuckle.

Good story.

Oh, yes, haha! That wasn't what I was thinking of though; I've seen it elsewhere, most recently on a TV show where a character said she ransacked an ex-boyfriend's plcae but didn't take anything just to drive him crazy.

I'm not tidy enough tobe bothered by this, but I can see how it would drive someone mad.

That was a thing of beauty :)

I love the subtlety of Vila's approach. And Avon's boots (unnumbered).

I'm still chuckling over the ending.

It's not so much numbering the socks, but doing it in hex.

Hee. That little touch was Greg's idea.

Thank you! :-D That's made a really bad day at work a lot better.

You haven't linked the story into Latest Updates yet for the benefit of anyone going there direct. Don't forget to do it :-)

But I did put it there. [goes to check] Aaaugh! It's there but in the wrong order. I'll fix that when I get home. :-P

I loved it.

Thank you! :-D
