The month goes on, and we get closer to the holidays. I bury myself in work, in looking after the girls, in hanging out with my friends, trying to give myself as little time alone as possible. Making sure I don't have too much time to think. To dwell ( Read more... )

Normally, Kon liked the winter. It provided a much needed break from the fun in the sun and, by the time it was over, he was ready for it to be bright and warm again. This time, though, he absolutely hated it. It was cold and he was wearing the most godawful clothes he could imagine. They clung in awkward places and they itched and he didn't ( Read more... )

"Nngggh," I manage to make a noise buried in the fabric before my hand reaches something warm and soft.

Home, Steph, Alive.

My favourite words.Returning home from patrol and the highs of the post-election party and their kiss, Cass meets Steph back in their bed and the pair get a chance to catch up amongst other things ( Read more... )

It's not even Chris's idea this time. It's Tony that comes to him, saying that there ought to be another party.

Living on a magically beautiful tropical island and having a dragon at his back, it was easy to feel immortal. It was easy to fly up close to the sun, lean forward to grin recklessly at Toothless, and laugh as he unhooked his leg from the pedal.

Seventeen days after reliving those last few hours of the war, I feel the best that I have yet, the closest to myself, again. I just can't believe it took me so long to find something that hits back. It's the biggest resource we have, here- the ocean- and I couldn't see it. I kept looking inside and coming up against walls, but I couldn't beat ( Read more... )
