“I’m a member of this crew. Tripathi made me a jacket and everything.”

TSCoSI Week Day 1: Violet / Nature

[image ID: digital illustration of Violet Liu from Starship Iris. She is wearing a jean jacket with her back to the viewer. The elbows and collar of the jacket are leather. The shoulders are made up of different patterned textiles. The left shoulder features a mandala and the right shoulder contains purple viola flowers. The back of the jacket is bedazzled with an image of a ghost squid surrounded by stars. The right arm is haphazardly painted in red with the word “RUMOR". End ID]

Fic: Growing Things

Fandom: The Strange Case of Starship Iris Wordcount: 100 Summary: How Arkady began growing things. Pre-canon.

I was delighted to recently stumble across the Small Fandoms drabbleathon, which is a drabble fest for small fandoms that runs throughout February!

I asked some friends for prompts and my friend prompted me with "Moist" (thanks XD), which stumped me for a bit until I thought about moist earth and then remembered that I've been meaning to write a fic about Arkady and growing things f o r e v e r.

And so...

---

Moist earth clings to Arkady's fingertips. She looks at it and wonders what the hell she's doing.

The miniature greenhouse sits in a disused storeroom the guards never check. She'd been marvelling at the bright green shoots when the organiser there asked if she'd like to plant something.

The seeds are in the soil now, but Arkady doesn't believe it'll do anything. Plants don't grow just like that. Not here.

It's ten days before she cracks, sneaks back to the storeroom.

There'll be nothing to see.

Except -

Poking through the dents left by Arkady's fingers are tiny, brand-new growing things.

“I am going to have to ask you to subject yourself to a search of your person.”

[Image ID: six images of Bell Summers from Second Star to the Left podcast rummaging around in their person as they come up with hair ties, coins, scraps, and a surprising number of wrenches while Amelia and officer Hershel look on in increasing confusion. In the last image, Amelia asks “How many wrenches does one scout-minder need?”. End ID]

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while
