After four years, these parties might be considered routine by some - though others might more kindly call them tradition. Once, Guy and Anthony had thrown birthday parties for each other like clockwork, filling their London flat with the great and the good - and the not so good, for variety's sake - and allowing the music and the alcohol to flow ( Read more... )

Daniel was sitting in the rec room, waiting for Vala to come back from the doctor's. He'd offered to keep William occupied while Vala got checked out. He wasn't sure what they'd be able to do. Maybe the nanobots. Maybe they had something else that would be able to spark that memory, but seeing her expression when she'd first seen William, ( Read more... )

It was springWell, maybe or maybe not. Difficult to say on the island, really, since there seemed to be two seasons: Tropical and North Pole. Luckily one was much longer than the other. But still, Cole was fairly certain it was March, and that was close enough for him to use it as an excuse for his sudden burst of inspiration. The metaphorical ( Read more... )

It really wasn't that fuckin' bad here. Plenty to eat, warm and sunny weather, a beach, and best of all? He didn't have to work. Dodge hardly knew what to do with himself most days. He'd poked around and found that there was a lot he could do. He could play basketball. He could play video games. There were books. And there was a playground, which ( Read more... )

Homo faber, the title read. No pun. No snicker.

He wrote of Daedalos, the earliest ( Read more... )

Christmas morning, Cole did not get up any earlier than usual, but he did mix up his routine by trekking across the snow to the Compound rather than setting up at his piano in the boarding house. Instead, he got a cup of coffee and then plopped down in front of the piano in the rec room ( Read more... )

A year ago, Sonya had spent her birthday by herself: the thought of the holidays and family and the reality of several of her friends leaving the island left her feeling isolated and wanting to be along. This year, she was getting married and actually-maybe-starting her own family-what better present could one ask for. As much as she was self ( Read more... )

The club's VIP list wasn't all that long, so when one of them made a request - something that happened pretty infrequently, really - Saffron was happy to do what she could to fulfill it. Tony had made a request for theme night, which was why the theme this month was superheroes. Saffron knew Tony Stark was never really one to shy away from ( Read more... )

"Here, Papa,"  Lydia said politely, leaning over the little three-year-old-sized wooden table he'd made her, blonde hair swinging over her shoulder.  He accepted his seashell with a smile and a nod, dutifully resting the make-shift teacup on his knee, and felt the glow of pride at her form of address.  She was starting to use 'Papa' and 'Carwood' ( Read more... )
