[tGE] Gauges Potential (Danny and Willie, gen)

[valmora]

I know, I know, figletofvenice, I promised slash. It just didn't happen.

Title: Gauges Potential
Rating: PG
Fandom: tGE
Pairing: gen. Danny and Willie.
Disclaimer: So not mine.

New camp, new rooms, the slow awkwardness and tension of new surroundings. Dust and fresh wood for the walls and floor, and the raised huts. Three hundred feet, Danny tells him, and Willie winces at the thought of digging through it all.

It'll have to be done, though, and they both know it. They can both feel the knowledge of coming work lingering in the air of the camp, too-fresh. It'll be sticky soon enough with the men's presences, heavy with the secrets they'll be keeping and hiding from the ferrets.

Willie goes up the steps into a hut and looks inside. Spare, but better than he was expecting. Being an officer has its perks; being in a Luftwaffe-run camp has more.

"Danny, look," he says, stepping aside to let Danny in beside him, but now, he doesn't mean the beds. He means the wooden walls and the low ceilings, despite the knowledge that the roofs are slanted.

Ashley-Pitt is going to be delighted, Willie thinks, and smiles.

Another fabulous last line, if I do say so myself. (Even if it makes me think of Ashley-Pitt/Willie slash which is just weird.)

I like Willie's inner monologue, by the way. This is short snippet, and does indeed show your skills as a speed writer. Heee.

Ashley-Pitt/Willie slash which is just weird
Not much canon basis for it, I'm afraid. Besides, Willie and Danny are pretty monogamous-seeming. =)

I like Willie's inner monologue,
Yay!

Yeah, Danny and Willie are chained at the hip. It's sweet. And I kinda don't get the line about the wooden walls, and low ceilings.

Could you write something vaguely sweet and cuddly involving Danny and Willie? Maybe with chocolate? Like that scrounger bartering with Danny for a bar of chocolate, and then giving it to Willie, becuase Willie had a weird chocolate craving?
[I might write it myself,^_^]

And why are expolding penguins funny?

I kinda don't get the line about the wooden walls, and low ceilings.
For wood-scrounging and dirt-hiding purposes.

vaguely sweet and cuddly
No, I probably couldn't, but I'll at least make the attempt. No promises about chocolate, though, since you seem to want to write it.

why are exploding penguins funny?
Because they're on the telly.

Story idea that has prolly already been used to death: Danny has a panic attack and Willie helps him through it.
