Drabble #196: Taking Things Into Your Own Hands

[jalenstrix]

...we had a nice response to my last posted drabble prompt of Drabble 191, with entries by redwolf and apachefirecat, and commenting by the fabulous redwolf. Huzzah!

As always, special labyfic love to redwolf for adding entries and comments for several previous drabble prompts. Onward, fearless drabbler!





For this prompt, we continue with our one-word/phrase drabble roots:

Taking Things Into Your Own Hands

Who's taking what into their own hands, and why? Tell us all about it. Labyfic-style, of course.




Given our entries from recent months, let's continue with the suggested limit for this month of 500 words. Though remember that shorter pieces are most definitely welcome!

Your entry should take the following format, posted as a comment on this entry:

I'll aim to get my next drabble challenge out on the first Friday of next month (Mar 7).

I'm also very happy to take suggestions if something in particular strikes your fancy -- comment on this post or PM me with your suggestions. You can see our current collected suggestions here.


Remember: Feedback is LOVE. So do reply to your fellow labyficcers' drabbles if so inclined. (Though be careful of concrit unless specifically okayed by the author beforehand. Authors generally write for love.)

Dark and beautiful. And so very satisfying with meting out justice more directly than we're often able to.

Thank you! Jareth does have some restrictions placed upon him by the nature of the wishes, but he's quite good at working with loopholes. 🦊🧡
