The Bricklayer


Slow down, you're doing fine, you can't be everything you want to be, before your time... -Vienna, The Stranger: Billy Joel. (Any Pronouns)

E

Another year, another Hearths Warming for one Gallus the Griffon. And once again, he's all alone. Sure, he's got his friends, but they don't make a family...

Gilda the griffon: rude, grumpy and no lover of the holidays. But then again, considering her version of Hearths Warming consists of griffons trying not to claw each other's eyes out, who could blame her?

Maybe it's that jolly spirit in the air again, but perhaps just this year, maybe these two griffons will find something that they both need.

If I were green I would die.

Now i wanna see gilda in a story where she tries to be his mother.

Could have been longer, so I'll give it an 8 of 10.

Some joke I'm missing here? The title itself is a nod towards this song. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am_I_Blue%3F

I admit if I wasn't forced to use a tablet here I would have added in Flashbacks to scenes such as Gilda giving Gallus his blanket that one night and maybe added in a scene with Gallus asking why him of all creatures and why Gilda would want to adopt him. Granted, that second bit almost made it in, but it felt like both drama for dramas sake and repeating what had already been said so it got cut.

Awww...

This was sweet, very sweet. Great job Bricky.

Happy Hearth's Warming Eve. :twilightsmile:

Hmm, this was good. A bit wordy, and I would have preferred more dialogue, but I like it.

This was adorable, and I love the idea of a Gilda, Gallus, and Gabby household happy family.

Yikes, man. That first paragraph is a doozy. The first sentence is a severe run-on, and then you apologized directly to the reader for making a joke immediately after that.

That’s not a good way to kick things off. I came within inches of dropping the story right there. The idea was nice and your writing has potential, but I seriously suggest finding someone to edit.

This was a sweet little one shot

Can we have a sequel where Gilda adopts/takes in Gabby? Then they'll be like a cute little family!
