Further Negotiations Amongst the Penguins (John Finnemore's Double Acts)

FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS AMONGST THE PENGUINS

Fandom: John Finnemore's Double Acts

Summary: Stuck inside on a stormy night, Søndergaard and Bunning talk about divorce, love, loneliness, and what it takes to build a nest together. They’re talking about the penguins. Obviously.

Characters: Søndergaard/Bunning

Words: 2,400

Notes: A Yuletide gift for calliatra.

Dear Calliatra, what a pleasure to be matched to you! Your Penguin Diplomacy prompts were so delightful, I knew I had to write you a fic in this fandom. (Though it’s a daunting task, because Penguin Diplomacy itself is so perfectly crafted that it’s hard to know where to go from there!) Thank you also for mentioning script format – I’ve had great fun setting myself the challenge of writing this story as though it really were a radio play.

For anyone who doesn’t know it, John Finnemore’s “Penguin Diplomacy” is a charming, funny, and extremely clever half-hour radio play and so very much worth a listen.

And thank you so much to Karios, who jumped in to beta this fic sight totally unseen, not knowing me OR the canon. True Yuletide kindness!

Since You Ask Me for a Tale of Magic (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme)

SINCE YOU ASK ME FOR A TALE OF MAGIC

Fandom: John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme

Summary: Well, since you ask me for a tale of magic, I do have one account you may find…enchanting.

Characters: Finnemore (the Storyteller), plus a bit of a stealth crossover character

Words: 1,500

Notes: A Yuletide treat for calliatra.

Dear Calliatra, I was so delighted to be matched with you; we share at least two fandoms and clearly also a ton of interests, and you had SO many fun prompts! My “official” gift to you is the Penguin Diplomacy fic, but for some reason first my brain dashed off this absurdity, which I hope you enjoy.

This story sounds better if you imagine it in John Finnemore’s voice, but then, you knew that already. :-)

(With apologies to everyone else in the world, because this doesn’t make a lot of sense unless you avidly follow John Finnemore’s work. Possibly it may not make a lot of sense even if you do!)

Thank you to the kind, delightful and funny scfrankles for beta-reading.
