Castiel hadn't done much in celebration of Halloween- it wasn't his holiday to celebrate. He did, however, keep a closer eye on things around then, because he was well aware of the trouble that it could bring ( Read more... )

It is here: Opening night for my first official production as director of the opera: Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio. The fact that it's my second production already doesn't make any me less nervous, though I know we've put together a good show.

I'm very happy with young Paris' (parisprincetroy) performance as Belmonte and Faramir (faramir_hurin) is a fine Bassa ( Read more... )

Castiel was getting tired of these pranks. He loved this village when it was peaceful, but Gabriel- and Loki, if that was who it truly was, were getting very out of hand. He wondered if telling Axl that Loki was here would do anything to stop the deity from continuing to raise the bar. Not that Gabe's jokes were harmless either. Ugh, archangels. He ( Read more... )

I love you, Belle. You made me stronger.

Having those as his last words should have made it hurt less. Knowing that he had done the right thing--the brave thing--in great part because of her love should have made it easier to accept his sacrifice ( Read more... )

I admit I was a little nervous all day; opening night of my first production. With people I had counted on to help leaving the village, it took longer than expected to put it onto stage. We managed, though. Our orchestra isn't very big and none of our performers is a professional singer but I'm proud of what we achieved together. It wasn't as grand ( Read more... )

Kerai was gone. Cas hadn't been so sure before, but now her name was wiped from the hotel registry books and her contact information from the messenger. He knew that there had been so much more she could have taught him, and that during their short time together here in the village she had become much more than just a friend of his- she was family ( Read more... )

This was more like it. Ares had no idea what was going on but it seemed that finally the village was doing something right. He hadn't had to use much mojo at the cage fighting. That had been his first clue. The second was all the fighting that had broken out in the streets. And he hadn't done it. Which on the one hand it pissed him off that ( Read more... )

It wasn't even a week yet with Lucas gone, but it felt like longer. She hadn't told anyone yet because she was still lingering with the belief that Lucas might return. It helped that the clinic seemed to be rather busy lately. People were having a hard time sleeping and some felt agitated. A few were even injured from altercations. It seemed 2014 ( Read more... )

Paris held onto his arm as he made his way toward the village's clinic. He had managed to wrap it up with a scarf he was wearing, but it was still bleeding through. He could not believe that insane woman at the grocery store. She flew off into a frenzy about the gods only know what, telling off the poor cashier. But she didn't stop there, she ( Read more... )

Buffy had learned long ago that she could do more with the help of others than by herself. Sure, she bossed people around and was the General in a lot of ways with the others that helped both in Sunnydale and other places but she knew as she stood at the entrance to the lobby and looked into the ballroom, that this wouldn't have been pulled off ( Read more... )
