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!
