Not Normal (Fred & Connor drabble, G)

[electricalgwen]

Today's Connor drabble day over at good__evil and so my (probably) last contribution to madame_meretrix's first line meme went in his direction. First line of this is hers.


Not Normal

“You’ll love this.” Fred pushed the tiny, elegant box across the table at him. “Chocolate! Just try it.”

Connor politely took one of the tiny, elegant truffles.

“This is one of the things I missed most in Pylea,” she said dreamily. “I mean, I missed my family, clean clothes, showers… but at night, I dreamed of chocolate.” She popped one into her own mouth and closed her eyes in quiet bliss.

She opened them just in time to see Connor spit his into a tissue.

“You don’t like it?” She looked appalled. “Wes, are you sure he’s not part demon?”

LOL! Very funny. Loved the contrast between the tiny, elegant truffles and Connor spitting into his tissue. Thank heavens I just happen to have a Chocolate Orange on my desk or I'd be running up to the shop. *g*

I love this! I think you've done a great job with Fred here, and I love the concept as well.

I can absolutely hear Fred saying this:
“This is one of the things I missed most in Pylea,” she said dreamily. “I mean, I missed my family, clean clothes, showers… but at night, I dreamed of chocolate.”

I adore this! A perfect Fred and Connor interaction. I love this:
“This is one of the things I missed most in Pylea,” she said dreamily. “I mean, I missed my family, clean clothes, showers… but at night, I dreamed of chocolate.” She popped one into her own mouth and closed her eyes in quiet bliss.

heee to Connor's reaction. The last line is awesome!! *g*

hee! i keep saying it, but that's because it's still true: I love seeing where the lines take you. It's such a delightful juxtaposition of my intent and all the other possibilities. I read the first line with all of the baggage that comes with knowing the original context, and then it blooms into a whole different world. It's really neat.

I thought this line was particularly beautiful: "but at night, I dreamed of chocolate.”

I wonder if demons are like dogs, in that they can't eat chocolate? Not that Connor is one... is he? a demon? what's your opinion?

This was a lovely drabble, Gwen. Thanks for making it!
