December 12

Today's ficlet is a sort of "missing scene" from Nutcracker, which cincoflex and I co-wrote; it's posted with her permission.  That story may be my favorite among our collaborations.  Unfortunately, you may not be able to understand this one if you haven't read the original, which you can find here, here, or here. 

Fandom: Iron Man, Tony/Pepper (sort of)
Prompt: none



Ginny laughed.  “You said it was warm where you lived!” 

Weaving dexterously backwards on the ice, Eddie gave her a shrug and a grin.  “So?  We have a hockey rink.” 

Ginny shook her head, and put on some speed.  The Rockefeller ice was not yet crowded, and while she had to admire Eddie’s skill, she intended to show him that she was just as good at skating as at dancing. 

She won the race, but Eddie beat her at jumps.  Ginny taught him how to play Crack-the-Whip, and he bought her cocoa afterwards. 

It was a perfect afternoon.

Even not really knowing the characters, I can still appreciate the vignette. You've painted such a carefree moment and I can't help but smile at the joy of it. Thank you for sharing this. *hugs*

Thank you! Cinco and I had a wonderful time writing the fic, and it was good to revisit it.

Wow, thanks! :D I'm so glad you liked it--I'm very proud of that one. I can't now remember how we thought of it, but it was so much fun to do.
