Geoffrey has never hated winter quite so much as he hates this one, and he's been through winters that can freeze your balls right through three layers of clothing. It's not the cold, which if anything makes this place feel a little more like home. It's that he wonders what home even means anymore when part of his family's been ripped from him. It' ( Read more... )

If there was anyone in a position to know when someone was gone or not, Keith supposed it would be him; they were one of the first points of call, after all. Someone apparently not around? Get the IPD to investigate. Not everyone did it that way, but it happened ( Read more... )

Kate's 28 today. Which is kind of old. It's practically 30. In some ways it really feels like it was just yesterday she was turning 24 with Jack during her first winter here. In other ways she feels a hundred years older.

But she's not too old to sled. And sled she will. There are actually a bunch of sleds up in the compound but she loves hers. Duck ( Read more... )

Russell still didn't like being human. That was a given. His entire platform prior to arriving on the island had been based on the inferiority of humans, among whom he could now count himself. Ironic, he supposed, that things would turn out this way, not to mention more than a little inconvenient.

Still, while he was here (and let no doubt be had - ( Read more... )

In all likelihood, the stage would be unusable come December, but for the sake of the first rehearsal, Jamie thought it best to hold it there regardless. The space was, after all, designed for such a thing, even if it didn't get much use when all was said and done. Having instructed the cast and crew to gather where the audience traditionally would ( Read more... )

Dated November 4, 2010:
The show must go on. Despite the horrors unleashed on some of the Island's population during Halloween, Madrox holds auditions for his production of The Mousetrap as scheduled.

I have to admit, I had wondered whether I was tempting fate by hosting a party on Halloween. Sure, the last Halloween had been mostly harmless and Tony and Pepper's party had gone off without a hitch. But I'd been on the island far too long to trust in its benevolence ( Read more... )

Tom Hansen had not been this productive since college graduation, when the job opportunities dried up and he'd convinced himself that greeting cards were his only option. When writing sappy love poems and peppy on-liners became the only thing between him and living in his parents' basement. It wasn't like there was a whole lot to do on an island ( Read more... )

By the time the weekend rolled around, Sam was quiet and moody at best, inconsolable at worst, and Veronica Mars didn't know what to do. It wasn't something she liked to admit often (or ever), but there was no pretending now that she knew what she was supposed to do or say when Sam demanded her parents. She'd tried to explain, but it just tied her ( Read more... )

Geoffrey's of an age when he doesn't necessarily do much to celebrate his birthday anymore. (Well, he'll probably demand birthday sex later, but he also demands non-birthday sex so that won't be much of a change. And actually, he doesn't generally have to demand sex at all. Sex just happens ( Read more... )
