Excerpt:

Pursing her lips, Ash speared a noodle and held it out to her sister. A peace offering, even if there hadn’t been a fight. “Hey, chin up, buttercup.” As hoped, Abby frowned at the old nickname. “You never know - maybe…things are starting to change. Maybe this new friend of Caleb’s will be tall, dark, and handsome, too.”

“He’s got a heck of a track record. The pair of men who followed him to town are smartass redheads,” Abby reminded her.

“True,” Ash conceded, “but this is our fantasy.” Watching Abby stick to her rule about carbs at lunch, Ash popped the noodle into her own mouth. “So, what do we think Caleb’s friend looks like?”

Abby considered the question, the lines in her forehead smoothing out. “You know…I don’t need him to be tall. Taller than me, but who wants to stand on a box to kiss their man? Wouldn’t mind broad, though.” She grinned at the image. “I like a man with shoulders.”

Ash chuckled, but said nothing.

“And…short hair, I think.” Propping her chin on one fist, Abby shifted her gaze to the maybe-real flowers as she sketched out her maybe-real man. “That military style is pretty sexy.” She flicked a glance at Ash. “I’m going with decent moral standing and base intelligence as a given.”

“You don’t want to date Kevin?” Ash asked, reaching for her own iced tea.

“Service to your country is attractive,” Abby replied. “Community service because you’re a dumbass is not.” A pause. “Dark hair, to go with his eyes. ‘Eyes like the sea after a storm.’”

Ash’s lips twitched. “And does your Dread Pirate Roberts have a scar? A long-faded cut across his cheek, that he refuses to tell you where he got it from?”

“Yes, and don’t forget a nice voice.” Abby grinned so Ash knew it was coming. “Proper British, if you please. And kinda gravelly, like he’s growling when he talks.”

The next installment of The Town of Norman series!

Day 12 was an alternate universe, SO I decided to dabble in a universe where VI actually loves doors with a burning passion, and he's afraid of Slenderman as opposed to the boogeyman c:

No shading because no time sorry

The Importance of Having A Door

Summary: A pub doesn’t need alcohol to have trouble with it’s patrons. Especially when those patrons include family.

Pairings: Kaidan Alenko/Male Shepard, Kaidan Alenko & Male Shepard

Characters: Kaidan Alenko, John Shepard, Caleb O'Connell, Jackie, Jacob, Kelly, Rahna, Harbinger, Chief Bakara, Alec O'Connell, Iain O'Connell

Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Hallmark AU, Siblings, Meddling Kids, Big Brothers, Sibling Bonding, Bugs & Insects, Powder & Keg (pub)

Excerpt:

Caleb shook his head slowly. “T’is your doing, Shepard.” He quirked a brow at John, who felt suddenly on the spot. “He wasn’t this disruptive back at university.”

“Or maybe you were just a good influence,” Kaidan offered. Taking John’s arm, he rested his chin on John’s shoulder. “Maybe I was always this ridiculous and you just tempered my willful nature.”

“First you help the little devils t’escape,” Caleb said, sounding deeply offended for all of a second, “and then you accuse me of being a good influence in my twenties.” He shook his head, mock sorrow losing out to annoyed affection. “Y’two are the worst.”

“You hear that, brother? They’re the worst.”

“Came all this way and we’ve been dethroned before walking in the door.”

John looked up to find matching grins of mischief standing in the still open doorway, the man on the right looking at the man on the left . “We’ll have t’do something ‘bout that.”

“ Imigh sa diabhal! What,” Caleb asked, sobering immediately, “are you two doing here?”

“We heard you were opening a pub!” With the enthusiasm of Jacob Taylor, the man on the right swept across to the bar. “Y’know how we Irish love our drink, Caleb, m’boy.”

This follows about a month after As Luck Would Have It .
