A few days before Christmas Lyra and Bert decide to invite a few friends to watch The Princess Bride. There are first introductions of both the sweet and sour variety and things turn awkward when two clones on less than friendly terms come face-to-face for the first time in a while, but eventually they all settle down enough for what Lyra and Bert ( Read more... )

The Starks, Narnians, and their guests get together for an enormous Christmas dinner, complete with babies arguing over toys.

"Dermot with your... teeth so white, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight."Technically, it was a toboggan, not a sleigh. And Dermot wasn’t really guiding it; he was chasing after it as Shawn dragged it up a hill, singing bits of random Christmas songs and altering them to his liking ( Read more... )

The day broke crisp and clear like so many days before it now. Lucy had dug through the backpack of camping supplies that Scout had left behind, taking the thermos and leaving the rest. Bundled up, she said her goodbyes for the day, not surprised that Shadow came with her as she trudged down the paths to the compound ( Read more... )

Jack wasn't sure if the kid knew he was being hustled, and if he did, he was playing right into it. She was all smiles and laughs, innocent looks and seductive bends.

After making a trip to the compound to find a tiny snowsuit with smiling-faced snowmen printed on it, and tiny boots, mittens, and a fuzzy hat for Rickon as ( Read more... )

Joey Potter was not what one would call well adjusted to life on this island. She spent most of her time holed away, sometimes talking to Pacey but mostly alone.  However, growing up near the creek she knew that when the weather was hot the best place to be was near the water.  So Joey Potter threw on the coolest outfit she had and braved the ( Read more... )

It only figured that the moment Cain had thrown himself fully into a new construction project, the whole damn Island seemed out to get him. The heat had ratcheted up so swiftly and so much in such a small amount of time that Cain was still boggling as to just what made it do such a thing and he was only happy that his work was half-done (having ( Read more... )

It was a cool Autumn day and Rilian thought it glorious. He was reminded of hunting parties in Narnia, of walking through forests full up of brightly coloured leaves. The Prince was not particularly homesick, having his father here with him, although there were times that he ached for Narnia and her beauty ( Read more... )
