Fic post: And Dip Into When We Need
Feb. 22nd, 2020 11:59 pmThis year's Chocolate Box assignment was very exciting for me, because the fandom I matched on was an adorable four minute long music video about a James Bond-like spy and his nemesis. And I'd never written for a canon so tiny before, or one without dialogue or even names for the main characters!
In some ways, it was very freeing, because the canon was incredibly easy to review as many times as I needed to (and somehow I never did get tired of it); in other ways, it was a fascinating challenge, because I needed to fill in whole areas of the story space that most other canons would have provided for me, making it almost like a midway point between the kind of fanfic I'm used to and original fiction. It was both nerve-wracking and incredibly fun to work on!
Plus, I had the supreme pleasure of joining the fandom trend of incorporating the song's lyrics into story titles, bit by bit.
Title: And Dip Into When We Need
Fandom: Genghis Khan - Miike Snow (music video)
Pairing: Gold Nose Villain/Secret Agent
Rating: Teen
Contains: Action, combat, heists, sinister plots, accidental telepathy, angst, enemies to lovers, and a happy ending.
Word count: 2103
Summary: It was all in a day's work, really -- until it wasn't.
( It was all in a day's work, really. The fight in the lobby, the sniper in the stairwell, the race to rewire the elevator followed immediately by assassins dropping in through the ceiling as it ascended to the roof. )
