I really wish TokyoPop hadn't gone out of business. I want the last 18 or so volumes of Silver Diamond. *sigh*

Late September
Title: Annals of Autumn
Chapter: 4 — Late September
Series: Seth and Steven Ito-Parker
Status: Incomplete
Genre: Family, 'married' life, drabbles
Length: about 4,200 words
Summary: Seth and Steven deal with home and family and school after the boys come to live with them, but still manage to find time for each other

Prompt: # 26 velvet heart
Title: hand-me-downs

“What do you want for your birthday?” Seth asked.

Quinton would be nine soon.

“Quinty wants a kitty,” said Zoe.” And I want a mouse. Or maybe a squirrel.”

Javier flicked her forehead. “This isn’t about you.”

“I get stuff,” Zoe argued. “Dani’s gonna give me her purple fuzzy heart pillow for my bed.”

Javier frowned. “Why don’t I get hand-me-downs?”

“Because Josh trashes his clothes and you are already as tall as me.”

“But I could have the stuff you don’t want anymore.”

“For the, what, next two weeks. You’ll soon be as tall as Steven.”

“But still...”

“Sorry.”

( And Zoe was Zoe. Demanding and adorable. )

This was my last day off before my vacation next week (when I'm fairly sure I won't find time to write at all) but it has been too hot to write. The next chapter of Harmonies might be really short.

Title: Annals of Autumn
Chapter: 3 — Early September
Series: Seth and Steven Ito-Parker
Status: Incomplete
Genre: Family, 'married' life, drabbles
Length: about 4,000 words
Summary: Seth and Steven deal with home and family and school after the boys come to live with them, but still manage to find time for each other

Prompt: # 38 tree, party, hiding
Title: Instead

“Shh,” whispered Zoe from behind a tree. “I’m hiding from Dani.”

That was understandable. Dani overwhelmed most people, but she had a special place in Seth’s heart as the only person at Matt and Belinda’s house who didn’t remember a time before he lived with them.

Seth made his way to the house. Dani looked out the door with a frown. “Where’s Zoe. I want to dress her up.” She held a knitted bonnet at least two sizes too small for Zoe. “I want a fancy tea party.”

“Will I do?”

“Yes.” Dani grinned. “You can be my special guest.”

( He was the person Steven loved. )

I've finally got my 100wordwar story into chronological order for the most part (after several different failed attempts) and gave it a title, so I thought I'd share it.

Title: Annals of Autumn
Chapter: 2 — August
Series: Seth and Steven Ito-Parker
Status: Incomplete
Genre: Family, 'married' life, drabbles
Length: about 4,000 words
Summary: Seth and Steven deal with home and family and school after the boys come to live with them, but still manage to find time for each other
Note: Chapter one is Reunion (Robin is also going to fit in here somewhere.)

Prompt: #23 camera
Title: Pictures

“Papa, take my picture.” Zoe posed with a giant sunflower.

Seth clicked a few pictures. But that wasn’t enough for Zoe. “Papa, be in the picture with me.”

Steven passed Quinton his bag and sat down. Zoe looked from Steven to Seth. “Papa, you too.”

Somehow, despite the fact she used the same word for both of them, they’d had no problem figuring out which Papa she wanted at any given moment.

Javier bounced to Seth’s elbow. “Let me.”

Seth passed him the camera and allowed Zoe to pose them: Zoe between Steven and Seth while the men held hands.

( A few kisses later, Seth was revived. )
