When life gives you lemons...

 Me, thinking about H/C Bingo and wringing my hands: I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do for the "poisoning" square in this column.

Me, reading China Marine and discovering that just before departing Okinawa, Sledge contracted blood poisoning: Well...there's that handled.

Is it bad that I read the first line and immediately thought, Nix + alcohol poisoning?

(Your idea sounds even more angsty though. *thumbs up*)

[thrillingdetectivetales]

xD I thought about that, tbh, but I already plan on a severely drunken Nix getting up to trouble in at least one of the other fills I'm doing and I didn't want to keep banging the same drum over and over again.

[kunstarschloch]

Yesss, disaster Nix is fave Nix. And I totally understand, even though I have been beating the same drum for 5+ years myself, lol.

[thrillingdetectivetales]

If the fills weren't all for the same meme I'd happily let them all be rooted in the whole "Nix drinks a lot and stuff gets fucked" camp, lol. But I know that at least one of them from the column I'm currently working through is directly related to Nix being a drunken disaster, and there's so much room in the row I'm going to try to cross with it after that I don't want to box myself in too early.

At first I read that as "Nix drinks a lot and gets fucked" and I was like WOW OKAY, lol. That's a whole story in itself...maybe not a happy one though.

But yes, I would probably do an entire column of Nix angst if I wasn't inspired to write origfic and try some other fandoms this time around.

[thrillingdetectivetales]

Lol it could go both ways right? There's probably a quality V-E Day celebration fic in that concept somewhere where Nix is fully brined off of whatever seized Nazi booze he prefers and decides to show Dick his appreciation by making a thoroughly sloppy but deeply charming move on him. ;P

I feel like I have too short an attention span to focus so intently on one character when it's all similar themes, but then my main weakness has always been that I'm a giant sucker for an ensemble cast. xD Or, for trying my hand at different character voices, anyway.

Also I love your origfic and I'm super glad you're writing it~

[kunstarschloch]

Oh yes. Have I told you how much I need you to write drunk!Nix? Because I do.

Omg I envy you though, I can't do ensemble fic at all haha. And sometimes I really want to!

<3333 I'm so glad!

[thrillingdetectivetales]

Well good news! You’re getting him, lol. One way or another I can guarantee he’ll be showing up in something I write, probably sooner rather than later, too.

[kunstarschloch]

Yessssssss. I love my snarky drunk asshole son. <3
