How about ingenuity?

Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.

I feel like ingenuity from this lot could end really, really badly.  O:-)

For the prompt - https://archiveofourown.org/works/43841781/chapters/111079276  Doesn't feature any of the cast, set in the first decade after the outbreak.

- Onni, look here, I’ve been contemplating my troll explosive galdrastafur and it occurs to me that minor tweaks…
- Out of the house! Now!
- What? Why? I just…
- Walk out of the door and keep going until you are outside the village!


Something like this maybe?

And once again you show how just a few lines can make a story! :)

I have no such talent, as anyone who read my stories know... I've tried to do a short one for "Ingenuity", and it ended with almost 2700 words... :D

So here it is, a story the started by talking about "ingenuity" and somehow ended up as something else... I hope you enjoy it, or forgive me if you don't...

So, in the other thread https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.14070 JoB says “good luck with that” and Grey immediately goes ”hold my beer”. Well done, my friends!

So delicious.  And yes- PhantomGrimalkin is me. :)  also technically on fanfiction.net if you feel like looking at decade old stuff that has nothing whatsoever to do with SSSS.

I tried to write a fairly short mature fic and now I'm 7 chapters into what has turned into an adv 3. So. I get that.

Oof very heavy.  Love the idea of an Antarctic settlement established by the scientists stationed there.

Hey I'm not... OK, OK, that's true! Both parts... :)

Heavy indeed. And my original intention was to make it heavier, but I balked at writing the trully terrifying parts... I found myself uncomfortable with the prospect of pushing my dear readers into a nightmarish scenario. :(  Maybe I'll risk writing on that path one of these days, but right now the real world already gives us enough bleakness everyday.

Actually I was casually rereading a few short stories from Gaiman's collection "Trigger Warning" and they are part of the inspiration to write this one. And, my friends, those stories are the really heavy ones.

Me too! If I haven't created such a large "Stories to Be Finished" folder (see Jitter's comment above) I'd be tempted to dive deeper into this idea. There are so many interesting angles and challenges, and I even had done some research to familiarize myself with the situation before writing this story...
I'm sorry, Antarctica Story, but you must go to the end of the line.
