Lying, by Girl Clone (2)

100 words. F/K if you squint.

Lying, by Girl Clone
Fraser sometimes thinks he's slipping out of synch with this world. He feels like he is a folktale that nobody believes in anymore. That eventually nothing will be left of him but a life size cardboard cutout Mountie that Inspector Thatcher could prop up outside for guard duty.

Even now he thinks he can see the world looking a little flatter, a little grayer.

Until long fingers encircle his wrist. And the world snaps back to three dimensions. “Frase, are you OK?”

He looks up into the blue eyes that are, for the moment, anchoring him here. “I'm fine, Ray.”

...like...a folktale that nobody believes in anymore.

Nice. Very nice!

Thank you.

Wow. This is some excellent Fraser pov. I love it!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Dude, I so envy people who can write something amazing in 100 words.

You're one of them. This is absolutely wonderful.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And the drabble writing talent? Sheer laziness ;)

I haven't read a ds ff in AGES, but this one was so short and didn't have a cut tag, and besides, it is just delicious. Thanks.

I'm sorry for making you read a ff when you weren't expecting, but thanks for liking it.

Great 100 words!

Thank you.

Brief but no less beautiful. The long fingers got to me in a big way! And this

Guh. Wonderful.

Thank you. Glad you liked.

Mmmm. Very good, I love it.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Great stuff - tells the story and not a word wasted (or cut out to get the word limit)

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I do enjoy writing drabbles. Trying to make 100 words exactly right.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is *excellent*!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *basks*

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved this. Short, to the point, and so poignant. I feel the same as Fraser, some days.

[claire.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked. Thanks for commenting.

Nicely done! Brava!!

I love good fRaser voice. Sort of like Ray likes good Fraser head.

[claire.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure my Fraser voice is as good as the Fraser head that Ray gets, but I'll take the praise anyway. Thank you ;)

I'm amazed, as ever, by your ability to express so much with 100 words. And I'm squinting ... the view looks fine!

[claire.livejournal.com]

It's not an ability. It's sheer laziness - this way I don't need a beta and I can just throw something together in under 5 minutes. Plus I think I kind of talked myself out of trying to write anything longer.

Gah! I shall stop having issues at you and instead say "Thank you" for reading and liking.

short and sweet.

That eventually nothing will be left of him but a life size cardboard cutout Mountie that Inspector Thatcher could prop up outside for guard duty.

I really like this image, because I think Thatcher really does use him in such a way.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And yes, sometimes I don't think Thatcher sees either Fraser or Turnbull as real people.
