Wordle Meme!

[melayneseahawk]

This is way too much fun.

Behind the cut are three four Wordle images created from stories I'm currently working on (for assorted values of "working on", natch). Here's how this is going to roll:

1. Pick one (or more) and take a guess at what might be going on. (Or just make something up.) Write at least a one-sentence summary of what you imagine the story to be about.

2. I'll take those summaries -- one from each of the first five commenters, more if inspiration strikes -- and write snippets, which will hopefully bear no resemblance whatsoever to the actual story I'm working on. If your summary nails the actual story, I'll post a snippet of the actual WIP instead.

3. Rinse and repeat repost in your own journal for additional wholesome family fun! (Uh, if you want. No pressure.)

Hint: two are Stargate fandom, two are original stories. Have fun!

4. Or you can make your own comment ficlet out of some or all of the words Wordle picked.

5. And if you wind up with a bunny you like, you're more than welcome to run off with it, and very welcome to commentfic it here.

#3: Some poor berk's getting tortured on a device called the Excrucior.

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Surprisingly close, in some ways. I think the only reason "excrucior" is so visible is because the story's short. It's actually BDSM (don't ask), but I'm just glad you didn't think it was about drugs. :P

Here, have an excerpt:

His skin splits like butter under a hot knife, and when he bleeds it looks like the universe itself is bleeding, the starry darkness of a night sky split by dripping crimson lines.

It’s morbidly gratifying to know that even after everything—even with what he’s become—at least his blood is still red.

Dangnabit! I swear that last one looks like Vala stole Daniel's magic wand. But I can't get the large version to open up on Wordle to make a more interesting and complex plot summary. :D

I want a better look at the Hennessey one, too. Maybe it will work from the office.

*snickers* So, would you like me to wait to reply to this?

Oh, let's have magic wand crack! Yay! The way my day's going, I'll never get back to this. :)

Ok, the only thing my brain is coming up with is Vala stealing Daniel's wand and Jack having to get it back, and it's making my eyes bleed. Must I?

In #4, Vala waves her magic wand and Daniel goes to the ball instead of his ugly step-sisters, Hathor and Nirrti, wearing a dress with a delicate bodice that makes him smile when he looks in the mirror. But first he takes a bubblebath to get all the dirt off, because he's covered with cinders.

Jack is a prince, naturally, and Apophis is either the footman or the carriage driver.

And as we all know, Daniel has a habit of forgetting his shoes...

We have a winner! Though, you should have stopped after Jack is a prince, naturally, since Apophis is actually his stepfather.

Here, have an excerpt:

“You’re beautiful, my darlings,” Apophis said, kissing his daughters’ cheeks. “Remember what I told you?”

“You don’t have to like him, he just has to like you,” they said in unison, singsong.

“Good girls,” Apophis said with an indulgent smile. “Go wait in the carriage, dears.” His smile evaporated as the girls went through the door. “Don’t burn down the house, boy.”

YAY! Cinderdaniella! :-D

Apophis is actually his stepfather.

(but it's more fun to think of him as a footman, hee!)
