Council elections were coming up soon, Padme was getting married in less then a week, and Sola was crawling and babbling her first words. That lead her to sitting in the grass with a book in her lap, keeping an eye on Sola (who was currently occupied with the spotted blanket they were sitting on), the pile of white fabric that she was still working ( Read more... )

Under almost every other circumstance, Jay Guthrie would not have messed with magic. That was for other people. Other mutants, that was their bag. Jay felt like his own powers were much more reliable. The wings were always there, his voice, the healing. They were extensions of himself ( Read more... )

Jemaine, having found the Compound with the assistance of The Most Beautiful Girl on the Beach (that he'd seen yesterday), had slept curled up on top of his guitar case the night before, and upon finding Bret still not there when he woke up, decided that it was imperative he handle this situation head-on ( Read more... )

Congratulations to Dr. Rob Chase and The Doctor!Because they were great prats and didn't invite anyone to their wedding, there will be a wedding party for them this evening, the 30th of August at The Hub. Friends and acquaintances invited. Presents welcomed, but not ( Read more... )

There could not have been a better day for the wedding had they been able to order it custom-made. The weather was fair and warm, but not too warm, and the late morning sun filtered through the leaves of the trees in the little grove where the heart tree stood. Some benches had been set up near the great white tree for the assembled friends and ( Read more... )

Whatever Veronica Mars has been expecting when she'd charged head first into the jungle with Neil, she hadn't exactly gotten it. Somewhere on the surface had been the desire to save George, whatever that meant, and make sure her friend was okay, sure. But if she had hoped to soothe her restlessness or find she'd fallen back into whoever she'd once ( Read more... )
