Xander looked over the assembled sight with a sense of pride. There was a large campfire high up enough on the beach that they wouldn’t be disturbed by the tides. He’d circled it with stones to be safe and stacked up enough fire food to go into the night. He’d rescued logs from the forests and buildings sights for seats, both stumps for chairs and ( Read more... )

When people tell you that there's something like an enchanted clothes-box living near you, it's one of those things that seems like it belongs in a magical wardrobe or maybe just in a children's after-school special about learning to have fun. Luce is still getting used to it, but she has to admit that a couple of hours spent with it yields some of ( Read more... )

Fairy tales usually begin with Once Upon a Time and end with Happily Ever After, but what happens after the happily ever after? Ponyo's once upon a time began when she freed herself from her father's boat and found her friend Sosuke. Together they had gone on an amazing adventure. They had saved the world from destruction. And he had won the ( Read more... )

Since discovering, via Sookie telling him, that his baby sister was dating here on the island, Jason had been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking was never really an easy thing for him, and got no easier when it was about how he should handle Sookie picking a new beau.

Matt frequently tried not to think about the island in terms of I've been here for three freaking years or all of my friends keep disappearing or oh god I miss the internet. He didn't need a therapist to tell him that he'd just drive himself insane thinking like that. Besides, it wasn't like there was anything he could do about it. But Matt's ( Read more... )

Pulling off a good con required the ability to care or dismiss about things at will. For about five minutes, Sawyer had managed to forget that Richard Alpert was a man who had not aged a day in the span of approximately fifty years, that the Others had significantly more knowledge of the land than he did, that there was still no explanation to be ( Read more... )

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Everything's been pretty good on the island recently. The weather's good, his leg's healed up and he's been dating. Which is weird. Cooper never really dated at home; there were a lot of girls (and some of them even screwed him) but he's never really been the 'boyfriend' type. He's been on a handful of ( Read more... )
