The blizzard had been pretty surprising and Anita had spent most of the time since it had stopped getting things back to normal. Luckily the cabin hadn't taken much damage and it just took some minor cleaning and organizing to put things back where they belonged ( Read more... )

The same flap of wood had been driving Freddy batshit for the better part of two weeks now. It was nothing more than a loose... thing, on the hut. He wasn't exactly sure what the technical term was in the overall structure, just that while usually stationary and harmless but whenever the wind picked up it would get caught and thwapthwapthwap until ( Read more... )

The second time on the island he'd woken up as a woman was a bit stranger. Partly because Austen had come along for the ride. Mostly because he'd most certainly woken up in his own hut in his own clothing--which now did not fit as well as they had the night before.

It did, however, clear up why the island had decided to bestow upon him a kitten. ( Read more... )

Making a big feast for Christmas was, in hindsight, a really bigly huge amount of work.  How her mom had done it with nearly no assistance was forever going to impress Abby now, and she'd even had help.  She'd had lots, actually, from Bill agreeing to go ice-fishing to whoever on the hunting crew shot the caribou, not to mention the various people ( Read more... )

Halloween had come and passed and while Anita knew that the Island had turned some of the adults into children it could have been far worse. She had only to recall the past few Halloweens for proof of that ( Read more... )

The jukebox had been an asshole for the better part of the day, and Freddy had given up on lounging with a stack of comics like he'd been planning for. At first it hadn't really been that bad, just seventies pop hits in an hour long block before it started repeating the same shit time after time. One minute he's absently humming along to Sandy ( Read more... )

Daniel goes for his morning run with Anita and decides to >a href="http://theunascended.livejournal.com/14696.html">drag an old friend out of bed so that he can accompany them. Mitchell agrees to go as long as there's food and caffeine at the end of the tunnel.

On Anita's birthday she realizes that she actually wants to celebrate it. Spending time with Freddy seems the perfect way to do that, though strangely it starts out with a discussion about ammo, mostly the lack thereof, and Island tricks.

Still ongoning. PG so far. Dated to July 20.

Anita was slowly coming to accept the fact that her birthday was only ten days away. That she would be 30 really didn't bother her anyway. Of course certain recent events might be responsible for her attitude. Whether or not she was happy about it wasn't really the point either. It was over, it was done and people on the Island were safer. In the ( Read more... )

Daniel wasn’t sure why it was that when his life seemed just a little better, things tended to choose that moment to go straight to hell again. First Owen and Alcuin. Confessions to Owen that he didn’t want to think about and things he wished he hadn’t learned about Mohinder. Or about Alcuin and Jack. And then he’d talked to Ianto. Things had ( Read more... )
