Both the other drabbles you mentioned are both amazing and great examples of what I'm trying to say. Especially Diversion which plays upon not only the dynamics of how Justin comforts Brian, but also their history with vacations. Knowing all those things is what gives the drabble its depth.
If someone is able to take a prompt or an idea and take it to a really unique place, or to write about something you wouldn't expect from that prompt, I am totally enthralled. Uch a great point! And one I really appreciate as an author. Somehow the restriction of the word count give you the freedom to play around with the meanings of the prompts. Or maybe it's just where my mind goes. Give me a sexy prompt and I write angst, give me an angsty prompt and I write humor. Somehow I always struggle with the simpliest interpretations of the prompts and find it easier to do something unexpected. It's nice to know someone appreciates that instead of just thinking I'm strange:)
