Two two-minute fics

[vilakins]

redstarrobot threw out the following challenge:

Take your fave fandom's fave one-eyed character (and I can think of at least three here), and the word "recumbent", and write a 2-minute fic, posted in reply to this. (Other acceptable words include "prescient" and "doubt".)

I wrote two.. Spoilers for season 3 of Farscape and season 2 of Blake's 7.


Stark

She is recumbent, smiling serenely up at him. He smiles back, touching her head gently so as not to hurt her. He knows that she's dying and that she'll take his light with her.

Travis

So many times he'd sworn he'd get Blake one day and that day is today. He steps towards the recumbent body to make sure, doubt and Avon's shot striking at the same time. He screams during the long fall. It isn't fair. There was no time to savour it.

Oh, I like the Travis one. And I see you got two of the words in. Care to go for three? :)

I considered making Travis prescient about being shot.

(Sorry; posted as Vila.)

Both are quite nice. Stark's with that little twist in the last sentence, and Travis' not being allowed to enjoy the moment. Poor guys.

Well, I feel sorry for Stark, but Travis really ought to have had wider interests. :-)
