Drabble Challenge - Achieve

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

There are days when the rattle and thrum of this city are too loud for me, when I want them all to stop fussing, to leave me be so that I can think back, and decide whether it was all worth it. Was there anything, in all my life, that people will look back on, and say he did this? Through the blood and the fear and the deaths - aye, the deaths, too many by my own hands - through the pain and the secrecy, will anyone notice?

If nothing else, I did one good thing. I made them.

Cool. A Cowley POV. He did do a good thing, and for that, we thank him.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh, we so do... *g*

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Oh nice. Very very nice. I envy your skills, I really do.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! It's summat aboout the lads though... *g*

Oh, it's Cowley! I love how you captured his voice. Wonderful drabble. Worth reading several times. Thanks!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

'tis Cowley indeed! Thank you!

Not til the 'aye' did I realise we were in Cowley's POV and then I just thought, 'YES! What a brilliant idea'. And an excellent last three words.

Lol - I actually tried to get around writing aye, and I definitely didn't want any ochs, but it just came out... *g*

Oh cool, a Cowley drabble! I really do like the man and he did something good indeed. He made them well. And you did well too, very well indeed.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And he did! *g*

Poor Cowley. A beautiful little insight into what must be a world of sadness lurking away in there. Awesome, as ever.

Yes, I do think Jackson plays him with just a little of that emptiness in him... Glad you liked it!

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

I knew it was him. It's the way he sees the world and that you've nailed beautifully. Thank you.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Phew - cos I was a bit worried, aye notwithstanding! Thank you! *g*

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Really lovely. And spot on Cowley.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well thank you! Glad you liked! *g*

It's great to hear George ... really nicely done.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

George is it now... *g* Thank you!

Great to see a Cowley POV. (I do love the old bugger.) And you've captured his voice so very well.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I'm so not a Cowley chick normally, but it just had to be him with the prompt "achieve"... Glad it worked for you!

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

I can really hear his voice in this, esp the 'stop fussing' - seems a very him thing to think. And I like the play on the ep dialogue, he did make them after all!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - he'd be such a grumpy old man in the home, wouldn't he?! And he so did... I'll forgive Cowley alot of things for that! *g*

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I made them.

And for that alone Cowley deserves so much.

I really loved this little look into his reminisces of the past. And I loved that someone did a Cowley drabble, such a powerful character and so under used.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I've got to admit, I prefer him to be in the background of fic (although he should be there), but that's cos it's the lads-together I like even more than the programme as a whole... *g* Glad it worked for you here though!

Lovely worship of the Cow. Wonderfully captured the voice of that ruthless man who wanted to do right by his country even if that meant doing wrong. So happy now.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh - thank you! Very glad you liked it! *g*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Oh nice! We don't get C's pov often enough!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I think I'm extra guilty of not going too close to the Cow if I can help it, but he deserved at least a drabble, and achieve seemed to have been made for him... *g* Thank you!
