So it seems my writing brain needs far too much in the way of backstory to be able to write only three sentences, so...

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's ( Read more... )

meme, write/rec challenge

MORE OF YOUR COTTAGE AU!!!! (But no cows, please. Other livestock is OK) I don't care how far into the future, really, but every time I re-read that fic series I just want to keep reading MOAR! I want to see how they are doing years and years later.

Is it okay if I cheat a little? I *might* have timestamped this once before for mrspollifax in an email. (if I can still find it...)

So, cheating, yes, but definitely bovine-free! Timeframe - roughly two years after The One About the Cow

Home, Wherever You Find Yourself, 1/2The wind off the ocean finally seemed to have lost its bite, and to Jack it felt like spring had decided she was ready to shake off her mantel of frost and usher in the warmer nights fit for stargazing again. Which was a good thing, he mused as he rounded the cabin to the nearly depleted wood pile. He had really been hoping that they wouldn't need to drag the wagon through the knee-deep snow to cut more firewood, at least not until the days warmed up enough so that his hands didn't freeze to the buck-saw ( ... )

I was going to ask for a Cottage AU story too! :D

This is lovely - a little "happily ever after" even if things are changing all over again. Jack would totally know that Sam was pregnant even before she knew!

Thank you :)
You can still leave requests! I can't promise I'll be quick about filling them, but it's a heck of a lot easier than the others meme because I know the backstory. :)

Totally unrelated - our local hicksville liquor store sells Rainier beer. I have no idea how they're importing it because I haven't seen it anywhere else, but I think of you every time I see it. Also, they have a cat named Charlie who works there. Presumably for the mice, but he sits in front of the door and greets everyone.

YAY! YAY! YAY! Oh, I just love this. I feel like it helps complete it, showing the commitment to putting down roots in this way. Plus it's soooo Jack to notice but not say anything and wait for her to be ready to tell him! Hee.

(But more importantly, why have you been hiding this from us???)

Er, well, I wrote this *ages* ago, but didn't post it because, well, babyfict, right? And then I forgot about it until you left the prompt and dug it up because I frankly don't care what fandom has to say about babyfic any more.

But, I am so glad you like it because it kind if comes full circle back to their first conversation in the first story and I like to give the illusion that I'm clever that way ;p

Edited because autocorrect. Need I say more?
