Puck really didn't like sitting around feeling sorry for himself. That kind of introspective crap was for pussies. He wasn't a pussy, and he wasn't sensitive or deep or any of that other crap. He was badass and cool, and he didn't let anything get to him. Even when stuff got really, really bad he was the king of spinning it so it looked like he'd ( Read more... )

Comedy over the centuries had changed quite a bit, and while Aidan might not have always been in the proper mindset to appreciate all types of comedy watching someone get poked in the eye and slapped in the face was always funny. As a vampire or human, the Stooges were hilarious ( Read more... )

It was only fitting, Jane believed, that she would hold this party upon such an eventful day. Five years ago, she had arrived upon the island and her whole life had changed. She was no longer the young girl that she had once been and was no longer trapped in the confines of a time when her options were greatly limited. Though the date coincided, ( Read more... )

It's absurd. Patently absurd. Juliet can't help thinking she's eventually going to get up out of her sick bed to walk outside and discover she's at the Hotel Portmeirion on the set of some horrible The Prisoner remake. I'm not a number, I'm a free woman! A peal of laughter bubbles out of her at the thought and she quickly covers her mouth, ( Read more... )

Life on Tabula Rasa was starting to become something of a routine. While there were moments of excitement from time to time -- or, in the current case, a whole underwater city of it -- Olivia tended to keep to the fringes of it all. She was interested, sure, but after her initial explorations, she realized just hit the same brick wall with every ( Read more... )

This is not her triumphant hour.

Ever since she's met Annie, Luce has been a practical trainwreck when it comes to remembering what she'd left behind and worse -- the guilt of it all. She keeps being caught off guard by the most ridiculous of emotional jags and though she tries to subdue them with ridiculous things like logic and practicality, ( Read more... )

Aidan wasn’t sure if something was just over, just starting, or both. Bishop was dead. Bishop, who had been a part of his life one way or another for 200 years, was dead by his own hand On one hand, Aidan was elated. If anything or anyone had kept drawing him back to the fold it had been his sire, always patient and always accepting. That had ( Read more... )

Growing up in Bolton and then in Manchester, moving to London to practise and only ever snatching the time for city-breaks meant that Martha had never spent a lot of time by the sea. These days, she spends a lot of time on the beach, sitting in the shade of one of the palm trees, or bobbing in the warm water. She doesn't really sunbathe - she's ( Read more... )

When I'd first come up with the idea of Casino Night, I wasn't sure if it was even possible on the island. In retrospect, that might have been naive of me, because if there was anything I'd learned in over four years on Tabula Rasa, it was that its residents were capable of doing just about anything save getting home ( Read more... )

There were times that Chase severely regretted a) bonding with Kirk Lazarus when he was around and b) actually keeping the kangaroo when Kirk had left, out of some nationalistic pride or bonding or whatever insanity had struck him at the time. For the most part, Tuck isn't so bad. Chase feeds him whatever he can find and he only tramples half of ( Read more... )
