Series: Lightsbridge Title: Playing truant Rating: G Event: WSC - Cozy Words: 100 Summary: Students at Lightsbridge will make any excuse to skip class.
As the days grew colder, Tris had—as many of the students did—succumbed to the occasional act of truancy in favour of warmer climes. Yes, her magic allowed her to divert chilly air currents, so she had no excuse for not making the walk between the dormitories and her lectures.
But she felt that she had earned the right to a little irresponsibility.
She imagined Briar’s snort at her idea of ‘irresponsibility’: a steaming cup of tea to warm her hands, a window seat to watch the snow, and a quilted blanket whose every stitch reminded her of home.

Oh, it warms my heart to see someone writing about Tris's time at Lightsbridge! Students engaging in the occasional act of truancy reminded me of my own university days (hello, nostalgia!) and this fic had a wonderfully cozy vibe to it with that feeling of the steaming mug of tea in Tris's hands, her watching the snow fall from her window seat, and being all tucked up in a blanket that reminded her of home. And having her picture what Briar's response to her idea of truancy would entail was a perfect way to make those thoughts of home feel really detailed. You really managed to evoke so much emotion and feeling in 100 words! Good job!

There are nowhere near enough Tris at Lightsbridge fics I laughed out loud at Tris’s thoughts on Briar’s reaction to her ‘rebellion’, and the little detail about the quilt was the crowning touch.
