aldersprig: (flower aldersprig)
Written to Anke's tweeted prompt: "building a shelter in the wilderness".

This follows: Nila & Tros' Introduction, A New Flower, and Outnumbered. I don't write about these guys very often <.<

Despite being Fae Apoc, no warnings apply.


The four of them had been walking for a while. To hear Nila's son Allan tell it, they had been walking forever. Finally, they had come into the mountains proper, into places which had been, before the war, relatively uninhabited.

It had been over four days since they could see the city at all, and longer than that since they could hear it. They were moving slowly, but they were moving, and after the first attackers, people were, for the most part, leaving them alone. Perhaps it showed, on their faces, that they'd stand for no threat to the children. Perhaps they just looked too poor to bother. Nila wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

aldersprig: a close up of an alder leaf (Leaf)
To [personal profile] eseme's prompt to my January orig-fic card. This fills the "Outnumbered" slot.

Nila, Tros, Allan and Susan are part of my Fae Apoc setting; its landing page is here.

They first showed up in Leaving Town and then in A New Flower. I missed them ;-)





"Asset count." Nila stepped back against the cliff, putting her children behind her.

"We have a cliff," Allan offered. "And you have your spear and your gun and Tros has his sword and knife. And I have a stick."

"Good, kiddo. And they have -"

"Twelve people and a truck."Read more... )
aldersprig: (wine)
For Friendly Anon's prompt.

Fae Apoc has a landing page here.

This comes after Leaving the City (LJ)

Tros had a feeling she wasn't the sort of girl you brought roses and
wine for, and besides, there wasn't any place around here to buy wine,
or roses.

So he settled for helping Nila with everything he could, scouting
ahead, scrounging for food, making sure when he brought down game, he
gutted it out of her daughter's line of sight.

It was puppy love, he knew. His Mentor had, more than once, accused him of that, scolding him for the attention it took from more serious matters.
