Historium commentfest ficlet

[thisbluespirit]

Someone wrote me a lovely sapphire & Steel ficlet for the historium commentfest (with Silver in the 18th C):

The phantom bird (633 words) by 35391291
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sapphire and Steel
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Silver (S&S)
Additional Tags: 18th Century, Elemental Weirdness, Time Skips, Historium Commentfest 2019
Summary: The bird looks at him sharply, with unblinking eyes. Suddenly, the world seems to shake. The invisible cloud seems to cover everything in its path, and the air whispers wrong, wrong, wrong. The bird shrieks, calling up an old, evil feeling. Its phantom song seems to unhinge the quiet afternoon and the world and time itself.

Silver ends up in West Drayton on a Sunday. Or perhaps, a Friday. Cue time skips, a strange bird, and some very clever sleight of hand.


Also, unrelated, but I started looking at the Hallucinations tag on AO3 for my hc_bingo March challenge thing, and saw a work with around 390 tags... which was apparently a 600+ word poem. lol. Fandom. I mean, at least it wasn't just a 40 word prologue, I suppose.

390 tags! It's a work in itself I guess! Can't say I will be trying to compete with the tagee;p

It's certainly something, I can say that much. Ha. It made me giggle anyway. You just know when a work has that many tags that the author will have run out of steam before actually writing the story. :-D
