Closing: Resurrection Challenge

[merryish]

Apologies for the extra week, but given the stories, we're glad we did it. All this week's resurrections were brought to you by my unexpectedly-long business trip last week, by luzdeestrellas sad, sad absence, and of course, by the resurrecting deity or supernatural phenomenon of your choice!

All responses to this challenge can be found via memories here or via tags here.

Next challenge, coming right up!
