Exams and snippets

Okay. So. Today was the first examination I've taken in three years, and it ... went sort of okay? I mean, what I've written probably wasn't worth the paper it was scrawled on, but at least I managed to answer two questions, and get seven pages out of them, and approach at least one question from various angles ... Gah! Not thinking about it. Still probably failed. But ... went sort of okay, and I can ... I've remembered what it's like to take exams now, so hopefully the next couple should be a bit easier. Hopefully. Maybe. *fingers crosses*

And then ... because I'm dead tired and unable to think straight at the minute, I was browsing through document fragments on my laptop. Bits and pieces, early drafts of fics, stuff like that. And I found an earlier draft of Close, one that went in a ... less porny direction. Heh. And since I rather liked it anyway, I thought I'd just post it up here as a snippet, and show people how different things can be between drafts, and yet how sort of the same. Heh.

This version's more Nigel's shakiness and recovery:

Ficlet - A skewed view on the Five

Look, before anyone asks, when I'm tired and stressed, I tend to take notions. Random, strange things that lead ... well, to things like this -_-; Though I'm partially blaming John Druitt for this, for that line in FKAC that helped spark this one: "Like a theater troupe". Which bounced me to the darker side of Victorian entertainment, and further, to the dark sides of circuses, and gave you ... this.
