What Are You Looking For?

Title: Oakwood
Rating: a melancholic G
Pairing: Gen
Summary: For everyone's sake, they keep his memory alive.
Word Count: 447
Warnings: Once again, more angst than a healthy diet should contain.
A/N: Again, this date is so important to the family... that being said, this is all fiction, and I'll leave it at that.

Disclaimer: These stories are works of fiction. Any similarity between the fictional version of the persons portrayed herein and the actual persons is intentional -- every fandom has its canon, folks -- HOWEVER, these stories are not attempts to defame the characters of said persons on the basis of libel, as these works are fictional (and NOT intently false statements created with the express purpose of misleading others about the actual characters of said persons). Real people exist with these names, but these are fictionalized characters here, and not the actual persons mentioned. None of this fiction ever happened, except in my mind.

( The only thing that gives me hope is I know, I'll see you again some day. )

Title: Decade
Rating: PG
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Seasons change, but not so the past.
Word Count: 2655
Warnings: Angst content through the roof....Think about the date, seriously. Language and depressing situations.
A/N: Some of you realize what April 4 means to the Edwards family and their supporters...

Yeah.

A year and a half ago, I wrote Lunation. I stated at that time that I wished to be sensitive to the Edwards family's feelings, and I would never want to write anything that would hurt them in any way, even while writing about the most private and personal thing in their lives. That being said...

My muses asked this of me, for this day, and would not be denied. Forgive me.

Inspired by Kenny Chesney's "Who You'd Be Today."

Companion piece to Oakwood.

Rating: A perfectly innocent (if slightly slashy) G, for a change!
Pairing: JK/JE
Summary: New Year's Eve, 2005: A night to celebrate.
Word Count: 1056
Warnings: none
A/N: I had to use the industrial strength cattle prod on my muses (thanks for the loan, oleander9999!), but was finally able to goad them into giving me this little ficlet.

Title: Saving Grace
Series: Fallen
Rating: PG
Pairing: Gen
Summary: "Tell me -- what are you thankful for?"
Word Count: 3763
Warnings: Angst. Small amount of het smooching.
A/N: Written for Thanksgiving 2004, while I was deep in the middle of "Fallen"... A bit of that bled (heh) into this fic, and you could consider this an epilogue to that series, if you wish... as I do. I wanted to convince myself that they got their happy ending. ;)

Original author's notes:

I don't know what these folks are actually doing today, but I'd like to think that they're all gathering at the Kerry household for a big ol' turkey dinner... I tie a bit of AU fiction to RL here. But this is all in my head.

Title: Sunrise, Sunset
Rating: G
Pairing: None.
Summary: Who will defend the defender? A day in the life of a Presidential campaign
Word Count: 763 [without the news item or the eye-witness account]
Warnings: None.
A/N: Stole nzraya's trick of including published quotes. Everybody's POVs get equal time here.

This was another song-inspired fic ["Blood Brothers" by Bruce Springsteen] but for once I don't mix my fandoms here. See the lyrics here.
