Title: Stitch in Time Rating: G Summary: Lark works her magic - nope, the other kind - once again. Warnings: None Notes: For my LCR series at 5sentence_fic, for the prompt 'stitch in time'. ----
"Your housemate's been too long among the weavers," says Acacia knowingly, between mouthfuls of spiced bass and flatbread. "Last I heard, she'd gone to give His Lordship a present, of all things, some sort of wall hanging; mind, he's likely murdered her by now, seeing as they haven't been out for fifteen minutes."
You walk fast - running is unseemly, and besides, Crane is no more lethal than a flowerpot - towards the greenhouse, ready to do battle. Lark's your friend against all likelihood, she's one of two people who puts up with your fits of temper and your strange taste in tea, and you do not want to see her blistered by your other best friend's tongue.
The words die on your lips when you see Crane laughing and chatting with Lark as if they've known each other for years; over supper, when you ask her what on the gods' green earth she did, she smiles mysteriously and talks about preventing trouble later on.

Ooh! I love how you managed to fit so much into one little fic, plus the second-person POV works really well.

Ahh, this is so sweet! And I love that last line about Lark smiling mysteriously. She would so do that.

I did. It was really clever the way you showed Lark's character and the way she can make anyone happy, even someone like Crane.
