You should be proud of yourself; between your drabbles and Great Risks you've gotten me to like Ryan/Dino. I really enjoy the way you write them here, the snark, the implied relationship, it works well together.

"A Dream of Oz" is crack, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's so random, and yet it works, and ahaha poor Toby.

I loved "Done", it's powerful and an excellent depiction of an event we never get to see.

Oh, thank you. I'm happy to have swayed you toward Ryan/Dino. They have gotten to be one of my favorite pairings (after McManus/Murphy, of course).

I have this thing for "The Wizard of Oz" and I thought it was fun to be able to use it here in this way.

I've seen the first couple of episodes numerous times (getting the background for Dino) and I love the way that Peter tells Nino that the Ortolanis reacted to Dino's death - one line that could have been a throwaway gave me everything I needed to know about Maria, something that I always felt should be followed up on, so it was nice to be able to do it here.

funny, a lot of sources say that Peter and Dino were cousins...

Hey, if it's the only way they can be together, I say go for it.

*Love* Beecher being 'over the rainbow'!

And Ryan being "haunted" by Dino - all great drabbles!

Thank you. When I read the prompt for Black Out, I kept trying to think of ways to injure Beecher that Fontana hadn't used for anyone else, so with Emerald City and Oz, it pretty well wrote itself.

I love the idea of Dino haunting Ryan - either lovingly or otherwise.

I'm so glad you enjoyed these!

These are really good drabbles and I quite enjoy reading interactions between characters I usually don't read -- Ryan and Dino, Nino and Maria.

Of course I love the Beecher/Keller (Gloria, Gen) one. It has this amusing bit to it but is also quite sweet.

Thank you. Don't tell anybody but I got a kick out of writing the B/K one. Maybe if we'd gotten to Season 7, a tornado really would have ripped through Oz - between the fire and the bioterrorism and the toxic materials in solitary, either an earthquake, tornado, or flood would have been next on the agenda.

I'm glad you enjoyed the other drabbles as well. I love writing Ryan and Dino as a pairing and Maria is probably my favorite character that we never see. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I love it when you stray into B/K land. It's always remarkable. This one was so cracky and sweet.

Ryan, feeling jealousy at the idea of Dino haunting somebody else, is fantastic ( in every sense of the word ).
