Friday Banshee

[lavandarlizard2]

Now, don't go getting excited... This is just a snippet of a partlet of the beginning of the next 40-page part. ^___^ Just to prove it *is* in progress.

Times be tough here... I have some issues going on, so ficcage will be scarce for a while. Not non-existent, just... intermittent. I'd share, but it's boring and tedious and no one wants to read that. =P

So let's just start out with some fluffy-foof-foof. ^___^






BFB – Part 103 – Crazy is as Crazy Does



At a quarter till six the next morning, I was walking across the commons to the dining hall to meet Inazuma. I had my phone out, debating whether I should give in to my desire to call Giniro and interrogate her over this whole “appear before the Council” thing. I know; it makes me crazy when Heero gets over-protective of me and here I am, planning to do the same to/for him. I get the eye-rolling-ness of it. Still hadn’t stopped me from bouncing back and forth on the idea all night.

I stopped walking and took a deep breath. Nope; not gonna do it. I have way too much other stuff to do today. I will wait patiently until Heero gets home and then I will consider whether I need to tap-dance on a Dragon.

“Duo!”

I glanced up and saw Inazuma and Enrique coming from their quarters. We met in front of the dining hall.

“Ready to go?” Zuma asked brightly. Enrique smiled indulgently at his boyfriend and tipped his head in greeting.

“Yep. Shall we eat first?”

“Yeah. Who knows when we’ll get lunch?” I grinned. Inazuma and I both tend to get extremely focused when we’re working together.

Enrique snorted and opened the door, ushering us through. “I will ping you at noon, so you will have no excuse. And yes, Heero’s orders,” he snickered.

I rolled my eyes, but didn’t argue this time.

We were among the first to hit the serving line, so we were finished by 0630.

Enrique had stuff to do, so he left us at the Port Room. I waggled my eyebrows inquiringly at Inazuma and he colored up a bit and said softly, “He got called home because of a death; he’s doing research today.”

“Not a family member, I hope?”

“No, a local fake-witch. One of those Human fortune-tellers; a tourist attraction of some sort. The Clan doesn’t like it when stuff like that happens in their environs. They have a good relationship with the Human locals and they want to keep it that way.” He sighed. “Rique thinks it was just a Human crime, but better to be sure.”

“Oh yeah.” Many of the possibly Magic-linked crimes we investigate turn out to be simple Human-on-Human crimes, but there’s always the possibility of someone going rogue. No one wants to be known as the investigator who blew off another Voldemort.


tbc...

A snippet of a partlet is just fine, especially from you. Love Duo's comment about tap-dancing on a dragon.

As for hard times, I know exactly what you mean. We're having some RL issues too. Hope things improve for you soon.

Anything I can get is good. And this was ... Good, that is. Thanks.

*snerk* "tap dancing on a dragon" indeed. XD

[rogue53.livejournal.com]

"Blew off another Voldemort" indeed. Very nice. And I just want you to know that I am continually going to the Molly Barn Owl site and watching her and the owlets. Just wonderful!

*gusty sigh of relief* Oh finally! New stuff. I suddenly find I need to go back and re-read 102. Uhmm ... why haven't you posted it on GWAddiction yet? Come to think of it ... they need to get some sort of alert type thingie for stuff like that.

[lisagems.livejournal.com]

ooo quite the teaser. yay!

[merula31]

Even when Heero's in trouble, he's still making sure the Banshee gets fed! Too cute!

*hugs you*

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I too am rather fond of the Voldemort line. *grin*
*pets the dragon* I am still lighting candles and crossing fingers. O_O

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Duo may have trouble verbalizing his feelings to Heero, but there's no doubt in his actions. ^____^


A lot of the same stuff that's afflicting a whole lot of other people; yeah. Some days are better than others... O_o

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I just feel bad when it's a small post. :( Like y'all aren't getting your money's worth.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Get him mad enough and he'd do it, too! ^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*snerk!*

I really hope they get either Molly or another owl family next season. It's just too cool! ^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I think GWA was down for a while, but in any case, I don't post my stuff there directly; one of the lovely mods very kindly handles that for me. I may have forgotten to send that part to her. >_> Thanks for the reminder. ^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I don't even plan these things.... ^____^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

He's a Wyvern; it's what he does. ^____^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

The first time, okay; no one expected someone like him, but a second time? Oh, hell no!

At least I'm eating for now... The rest of it... will work itself out. ^__^

Heero vs Duo: truly a battle for the ages (and possibly the end of the world)

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it would last very long. Being all wrapped up in each other might lead to something less hostile. ^___^ Magical cuddling or something.

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

True, but the damage before Heero's groveling managed to placate Duo could very well be epic.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Food is always a good thing! ^_____^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Heero grovels pretty well... He might survive. ^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I just wish I felt like eating... O_o Everything tastes like... bleh. I hate head colds.

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

It's the collateral damage I'm worried about - or have you forgotten how the were-tiger got her new pool? ;)

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

That would depend on where they happen to be. ^___^

I hope. ^_O
