Welcome to FB3X Drabble Cascade #176 - This week's word of the week is 'well'.
 |
Suitable for all.
|
it's really very simple, be inspired by our word of the week and just write :).
To see this week's entries check out the list at the bottom of this post. We put it behind a cut so it doesn't clog up your scrolling.
A drabble is a work of 100 words exactly. Flash fiction is a work of up to 500 words. Both may be submitted to the cascade. So What Can You Write? The simple answer is - anything! Our work here on FB3X will be erotically themed. but feel free to take the inspiration any way you want to, fiction, fanfiction, non-fiction, meta, since variety is the spice of life!
To those struck by inspiration (and no you don't have to be a professional writer to join in, anyone can embrace their inner author):
- Below you will find a chance to join in the cascade in the form of a linked list
- Write a drabble/flash fiction inspired by the word of the week.
- Post the fiction to your own blog, social media, or website
- Then insert a link into the linked list to that drabble/flash fiction for everyone to find (A hint of the genre of your drabble/flash fiction in the title of your post would be appreciated.), e.g. A Little Bit of Fun (PG, Science Fiction)
- To encourage your friends to join in and hence cascade the fun, you can also add the list into your own post by copying the code.
- OR you can just write us something in the comments :)
For folks who enjoy reading drabbles/flash fiction: you can then peruse the cascade to your heart's content :).
AND NOW - on to the fiction :)
AND NOW - on to the fiction :)

Author's Note
I'm trying to do something a little different this year. For those of you who don't know, unless it's a week inspired by a holiday, or memorable occasion, our word of the week is picked by opening up a dictionary to a random location, waving a finger about without looking at the page and pointing it to a word, i.e. it's chance. So, this year, rather than standalone drabbles, I am going to try writing a coherent story, Flight of Fire, in 100 word episodes, each one inspired by the word of the week. I have a vague outline for characters and direction of Flight of Fire, but specifics will be decided by the word of the week.
This week, I though of water and how a well is a calm holder of water, but that there are different types, much more violent, and so this section started with a metaphor.

Their magic settled from a fountain to a well and the first thing Stephan recognised was Benedict’s hand. It was trembling slightly, holding out something so close to his face that Stephan could not actually focus on it.
“These are for you,” Benedict mumbled shyly.
Stephan shifted his head against Reynaulght until the offering came into view. He gasped at the beauty of two deep bangles, hinged and pierced so finely they spoke of hours of work. Tentatively, he reached out, running his fingers over their patterns. He sensed man and dragon, Benedict and Reynaulght; his own magic with them.

I sense a movement from one stage in their relationship into another. Bangles. I mistrust the bangles considering how Benedict's magic was muzzled but it does seem appropriate to their union with Stephan for the same reason. Except it won't be muzzling but uniting into a whole.
