OK, I know I've been "gone" (though sometimes lurking) for...well, ever, and so I'm quite possibly just writing to myself here, but that's cool too.

For the past couple days I've felt the urge to write, but the longer things I'm working on are just not calling to me at the moment. So...I'm taking drabble requests. First 8. Leave me a pairing or character, and a word, phrase, or scenario. And....GO!

Every day I am just so impressed by the quality of fiction present in this fandom, so I thought it only fair to show my appreciation and spread the love.

So I’m back from my second viewing of POA. A full review will be forthcoming, but for the moment I thought I’d leave you with a list of the pairings I noticed. In order of first appearance (in my interpretation, and ordered as well as I could remember):
