The Pride of Tirnanog

a collection of the bits and piece(s) concluding the arc from the three lilimin and stone posts. Aly gets involved. Lugh does his best.

Aly looked at him, did a double-take at his cousin’s gaunt face and the circles around his eyes, and said, “you’re still letting my sister in at night, aren’t ye.”

“Yeah, why, y’jealous?”

“You look like shit. She’ll be your death if you don’t cut her off soon.”

“Pfft, we’re fine, Aly.”

( in which stone is a mess and lugh is everyone's dad. )

annnnd a very quick part 3. from here.

"I've been thinking." Aten said. "And I don't think this was the ship he was directing us to at all."

"Nil hea?" Rin asked.

( Nil hea. )

i had a request for rin and tiun's early adventures and several for indirect force [sidhe!team leverage], so hey, multiple birds in one fic. first part.

The message arrived via a brightly dancing butterfly, which, once it caught their attention, unfurled its wings wider and then wider still, into an explosion of red-orange feathers, tipped with black and blue as if dipped into ink wells, attached to a black-haired, black-eyed, shyly giggling cherub. This spoke to a different sort of urgency; Huan didn't often trust messages with the butterfly-minded among the fravashi.

...annnd switching gears. one of 3 requests for stone and lilimin.

"Oh Frigga." He gasped--they were far enough above the waves that she heard him clearly, and then a whispered curse that was also a fervent prayer, and the distressed groan after that. She looked down at the boy that was clinging to the cliff-face in the grip of an inexplicable terror. Only the lower half of his face was visible beneath the brim of his hat; his chin and nose, and she could see the thin film of sweat on his upper lip and collecting along straining forearms bared by his rolled-up sleeves, with eyes as sharp as her hearing.

"Maaadi! He's doin' bad things again, tá!" Alistar yelled.

( a very short one. bren gleefully raising the bar on the terrible twos. or twenties. whatever. )

more bebe!brenan. this one follows right after the last. oh, and that was the first.

Delande found that old habits died hard; the child in her had the excuses ready, as she hurried into the hall in which Lugh was more sprawled, by her way of looking at it, than properly reclined--he'd given up sitting on the throne in favor of sitting on the steps at the foot of it and using the seat as a small table to hold a cup and wineskin; his cloak and shirts and sashes everywhere, his hair in disarray above the gold coronet, and a pipe to his mouth. She took a moment to simply look at him, and smile, before she spoke.

( Did I miss anything exciting? )

gavian and lugh. >_>; i actually posted this last night, but as far as i can tell, the post acted as if it were backdated, so i'm trying again. my apologies if this is your second time seeing it. this particular lj is plagued with tech issues, so i don't think i'll be going in for a plus lj in the future.

"GAVI!" Lugh exclaimed as he strode in, waving a scroll grandly. "So good to see you!"

The sigh that followed was quite audible. And the dryness of tone after could've been used to sop up half the world's seas and still been thirsty for more.

a bit sketchy, but hey. jia, caladh, huan and the ard ri.

There were a few things Jia understood, even at such a tender age as she was, and one of them was that the things that she and Huan were oft most excited about were things that their lady mother tended to disapprove of.

( Their lord father, on the other hand, was another matter entirely. )

quite early, before there is a "team" per se.

Matteu thought the wine was much too dry.

His opinion appeared to be the minority, however, because from what he could tell, lifted from everything from actual words, to the slightest shift of expression of those around him, to the sheer volume of wine being imbibed implied that this was some of the Imperion's finest, ( and if that were the case, it must be true. )

yoinking an idea from taennyn, as i haven't the slightest idea what to write next. [pleeease, for the love of my little gray cells, DON'T CLICK THEM ALL.]

[Poll #1376424]

i'll see what i can do to provide. =)

[edit: if you need help, this post and this post (and the posts linked to that post) might come in handy.]
