a couple of stories.
Title: I Saw the Sun Tonight
Author: lyn
Rating: G
Pairing: None
Synopsis: Surviving in exile isn't easy.
She can barely walk at first. Processing anything-data, emotions, how to put one foot in front of the other-is too much. For the first few cycles, she sits and watches the Creator work. Flynn manipulates the Grid effortlessly, even in the Outlands; he carves a home for them out of nothing. Energy flows from his fingers like rivers from an ocean; he wills it to be so and it is so. He insists that she refer to him as ‘Flynn’ and not ‘the Creator’, insists that he had only a small hand in her making.
As she stands in the finished space-a luminous enclave with bright white tiles, elegant furniture and piles of what she soon learns are books-she cannot understand it as anything but the work of a god.
Title: Initiative
Author: lyn
Rating: G
Pairing: Alan/Lora
Synopsis: Lora makes the first move.
Lora is almost certain that Alan is a virgin. She imagines that he’s gone on dates before-a few in high school, a few more in college-and that they were fumbling, awkward experiences with perfectly nice girls who were nevertheless hoping for a boyfriend that smiled once in a while. Lora suspects that Alan was born serious; he emerged from the womb and cried only for a second, enough to let the world know that he was fine and everything could proceed as normal.
