Fic: QL, "Coming home from very lonely places"

This is yesterday's fic for mini_nanowrimo. I'm still not entirely happy with the voice/narrator, but eh. Could be worse. (Also, Day 19 word count so far: 6. In other words, I'm getting to it tonight. At least the new writing_game  board's up.)
P.S., I lose the Game. ;)
P.P.S.: One of these days, I will make room in my 15 for a QL icon. God knows I'd get enough use out of it.


"Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen." -- John le Carre

Fic: QL, "The Waiting Time"

Day 19 word count: 140 (the previous 6, plus 134 in this story, which I trimmed to 100).

Prompts: w_g character prompt,"quiet" (had to start on the first letter of the last fandom we wrote; don't think they expected anyone to start on Q!), and a quote I found on ThinkExist:

“But the waiting time, my brothers, is the hardest time of all.” ~ Sarah Doudney
