gossip protocol

by ariex09

The Tale and the Telling

by elwenyere

“What’s this, my dear?” Obi-Wan asked, picking up Cody’s data pad and angling it toward him so the words on the screen were clearly visible. “From a bacta shipment to a banthashit curse: notes toward a story of true love.”“Oh, that,” Cody replied, and he felt a slight flush creep up the back of his neck. ---A remix of thosenearandfarwars's fic "True Love's Kiss" for the Codywan Remix Challenge.

Thoughts of You as Snow

by EternalDarkEyes

"The water was calling him. He ran along its banks, legs immediately taking the familiar paths that were well worn by his and Makoto’s years of play. He sprinted until he came to the great expanse of river that may have stolen his friend.'Did you take him!?' he asked, voice heaving as he fought to catch his breath. 'Did you take Makoto?'The gentle splash of the ebbing surf was his only answer. Haruka stepped forward, the water grasping at this toes. He tried again.'Did you take Makoto!?'The water did not reply.Haruka pressed forward, wading in until the water lapped about his waist. He prepared to try again, inhaling deeply to offer the greatest cry he could muster. But before he could utter another word, the current swept him off his feet and he found himself taking in water." -A MakoHaru Free! fanfic based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen"
