Summary: Jonathan wished ...
Author's Notes: First post to the community~!


Hands tied tightly behind his back, rough rope chaffing against the sensitive skin on the insides of his wrists, Johnathan wished he'd been born in a different age - one where knowing which herbs could cure the common cold or replenish the blood after a foolhardy bleeding by incompetent doctors wouldn't have caused this.

As the pyre under his legs was lit with a crackling, joyfully destructive, flame Jonathan especially wished for the strength to spit in the faces of his persecutors for causing his mother's heart such grief.

Her cries echoed painfully in his ears even as the fire consumed him.

Summary: The star hasn't fallen yet.
Author's Notes: In the same universe as this one.


There's a star in the sky that looks like it's about to fall, and Sarah wishes it hurry up already, she's been waiting for hours. She's laying outside in the backyard, and it reminds her of those rare weekends when she and her dad would go camping in the mountains.

In fact, it feels so much like those times that she calls out, absently: "Daddy!"

Joseph peeks out from between the glass doors of the patio. "What's up, Sarah?"

She looks at him, disappointment running through her like a cresting wave, growing stronger as it goes.

"Nothing," she says. "I wasn't asking for you."

"Tell me," Marcus whispers.

Zach stretches and settles himself closer to Marcus. "Tell you what?"

"A wish." Marcus brushes a kiss across Zach's brow. "Tell me something you've wished for."

"A new bicycle."

Marcus snorts. "A wish from this decade, boy."

Zach smiles against Marcus' chest. "Wanted to work vice."

"Achieved. Another."

"Happiness."

Marcus tightens his grip, pulling Zach in closer to him. "And how is that wish panning out?"

Zach lets his mind drift for a minute, floats among images of Marcus, and their friends, their dates, and their play.

"Pretty good." Grinning, he says, "Pretty damned good, indeed."

"I wished for you," she whispers, looking into his eyes. She raises her hand and cups his cheek, traces the lines around his eyes with her thumb. "You never came."

Andrew leans into her hand, the motion causing his hair to fall across his face, closes his eyes, shutting of the expression on Maria's face: disappointment and... something else he can't name.

"I'm here now," he says, keeping his eyes closed, more out of cowardice than anything else. "I'm not going anywhere."

She withdraws her hand. "I stopped wishing for you a long time ago."

"Yeah," he says, looking at her now. "I know."

Rating: G
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: All characters involved belong to me and my late writing partner
Summary: A glimpse of the beginning of my protagonist's life
Author's Notes: I suppose the genre is gothic fantasy

"I wish I could grant you a good life, my son." Theresa caressed the fuzz that she knew would be golden brown as he grew older. She saw his eyes, the gold-brown color he would keep for his life. "I haven't the power to give that to you. I promise you will break the curse this life. For your destiny is written large in the skein of life this time." She kissed his forehead. "For once, I do not begrudge the Lion that claims you, for you will need His strength and ferocity." She closed her eyes, holding him close.
