It was late, and Maureen was walking back to Bohemia after a performance at the club. She had no idea where she'd put the sandals she'd been wearing when she'd come in earlier that night - after searching all over the dressing room area she'd finally given up, and so she was teetering on the path in stilettos. Okay, not teetering, really - she ( Read more... )

It had been nearly a month since the weekend that Alcuin had spent with Giles in Terre d'Ange - or rather, thinking they were in Terre d'Ange, as completely incomprehensible as that was. And though there was nothing overtly wrong in their relationship, it was clear that things were different. Strained, somehow. Not the least of which being the ( Read more... )

Some days, it's like Sirius can feel that other shoe waiting to drop. It's a tangible thing, an entity, hovering over his head like a rain cloud in a cartoon. Some days, he wants to take hold of it and pull it down just to get it over with ( Read more... )

Life had not seemed to go the Doctor's way lately, which was less that it hadn't gone well and more that it had gone entirely too well, was almost good to the point of complacency.
