I really think I deserve credit for doing my best to embrace the steampunk Victorian lifestyle. I've never been a fan of cold weather, and I grew up in a place where a bikini was considered appropriate attire 90% of the time. When the island made the switch that December, I was definitely not in my element. I'd always loved pretty dresses, though, ( Read more... )

Marie is surprising herself by how well she's settling into Victorian London. Maybe it's because once she started getting used to the island idea, the notion of all of it going to hell again isn't that much to take in, or maybe it's because being around all these stuffy British people brings out her inner rebel.

Generally, Scripps has found a sort of calling in playing the background for the whimsy of his friends, allowing them to sing and act and be fools around him. It's not to say that he doesn't partake, but every group needs a steady anchor to provide the backing music and the task has fallen to him.

But only once had I ever come across a mysterious item from home, and over time, I'd forgotten that I, too, could be the target of anything so explicitly cruel ( Read more... )

The future comes with a great many number of intriguing items. The one that Gwaine hasn't really explored until today is small, yet wildly interesting to him and so colourful. Shots. They're red and blue and purple and one is green and one is called a polar bear and he doesn't even know what a polar bear is, but he knows that it tastes marvelous ( Read more... )

Normally, Danny doesn't willingly go into the water.

There's riptide and there's the fear of drowning and there are sharks (Jaws left a very heavy imprint in Danny's mind when he was a kid and that's not something you get away from so easily). He knows all those things, but when Danny wakes up that morning and destroys a hefty amount of property ( Read more... )

It's been over two months since the school term ended, and Dean still feels like he's cheating sometimes, spending his afternoon sprawled out somewhere being useless instead of hitting the books. Half the time he settles for hitting Caliban instead, who always does more than his share of hitting back, god bless him, but today Dean's chosen to ( Read more... )
