There were always classes going on somewhere in the schoolhouse, but if you knew the schedule, it wasn't hard to find a bit of quiet space to get some work done. Calvin was sitting in the classroom he secretly thought of his own with a pile of papers in front of him and a pen cap in his mouth. Grading papers. It was astonishing how many ( Read more... ) -

Calvin had been steeling himself to go straight into the rec room once he got to the Compound, but at the looming possibility of a daughter-from-the-future, he hesitated just outside the doorway. Palms sweaty, heart racing, the need to throw up hadn't completely gone away. The marriage license had been bad enough, and that was just a piece of ( Read more... ) -

It was early still. It felt cooler than it should have, though the sun was up. The sky was a distant sort of blue, but it was whole still. Somehow, Calvin had got into the habit of looking for holes in the sky. It was a rather paranoid sort of habit, and he knew it.

More homeplot
He went out to the star-gazing rock when he couldn't stand to be at home anymore. It had been alright for a few hours, meeting these nieces and nephews he didn't know he had and learning all the new changes in his siblings.

Which didn't make too much sense because it had barely fit the two of them, and Meg had been the sort to sprawl out. But when he finally fell asleep it was deep and dreamless, and tonight was no ( Read more... ) -
For Meg
Once Danny had brought it up, he couldn't stop thinking about it. The idea of making her a proper dinner. Not so much to prove that he could cook just to...do something nice for her. Different. And maybe if he happened to broach the topic of being a little bit in love with her, well, that'd be an added bonus ( Read more... ) -
tomorrow's EP
Calvin had things he should have been doing, no end of things, really. Reading and cataloging and catching up on 40 years' worth of scientific discoveries. Plus, there was Meg's bed to build up again after the flooding; he was going to have to start from scratch there. It was the middle of the afternoon, and he should have been working on ( Read more... ) -
For Meg
They were still sleeping in the same bed. Head to foot, mind you, but still...one bed and two people. It was cramped and narrow, but they had managed to perfect being close but not too close ( Read more... ) -
For Carrie
He didn't quite know where to look for her. Or, rather, Calvin knew where she should be, but Carrie didn't seem to be in any of the places he looked for her ( Read more... )
