Sov hadn't brought a lot of things with them to Fandom, but they had accumulated a few carefully repaired radios and one CD player that they intended to take home. So, that required to bags. All in all, packing didn't take that long.

They had recieved a letter from home on Wednesday, and would catch a portal back to Gethen early the next morning. ( Read more... )

I did however try to post it a few days ago but LJ ate most of it and I felt discouraged. Also, I have no new characters, so I'll rely on copy and paste with added updates.

Sov woke up and noticed he was a boy. That in itself wasn't unusual an happened regularly, but it wasn't that time of the month, and he didn't feel any of the strong hormonal influences that should have caused it.

Odd. He sat up, feeling a little uneasy. What was happening? Was this the island doing something again?

But for now the forest around them felt a little soothing, even if it was different from home. They jumped up on a ( Read more... )

If there was anyway they could contact Sether Sov would have done so now. Of course, Sether would be at the kemmer house, enjoying the company, and not alone and curled up in bed like this.

Their body ached to be touched, held close and more and while their skin was tingling and warm, they felt cold, almost painfully. Once a month, every Gethenian ( Read more... )

Sov had been trying not to think about it, but there was no avoiding the fact that they would be in kemmer very soon, probably this evening. Since arriving here they had never felt so much alone. This was not a time to spend among strangers, aliens, who might not even know how to react. Also, they were sharing a room with someone they didn't ( Read more... )

Having decided to meet up with Tony on Sunday although the SP thread still hasn't reached that decision, Sov decided that practising how to use the soldering iron Tony had given them on the shuttle might be a wise decision. Also, hopefully, it would be fun.

It turned out it was fun, at least if one didn't count the burns on Sov's hands. Also, the ( Read more... )
