She had been looking forward all week to Friday evening. Like a child waiting for Christmas Day, it never seemed to arrive. They had all originally planned to go on the trip to the Coast to visit Grandma and Granddad. They went at this time every year; it was what they did. It was part of the family tradition. But Kate couldn't go this time. John and the k...
Author's note: This story takes place during Season 4 of Arrow and Season 2 of The Flash. ***** Caitlin Snow became increasingly fidgety the closer and closer she got to her girlfriend's apartment. Partly because they were both control freaks but mostly because they lived in two different cities visits to each other were normally planned out to the very la...
"Closed! What the fuck...!" Aphrodite screamed as she stood in front of the small shabby restaurant across the way from Washington Square Park. Squinting her eyes, she felt her stomach drop as this final discovery was revealed to be another enormous disappointment, the latest of many she had had that day. The sign on the building was clear, Temple of Aphrodi...
The wind-driven snow lashed against the roof and walls for the second straight night, and it didn't look like it would stop tomorrow, either. The electricity had been out since the first night-no big surprise, being this deep in the woods, and it didn't really matter at first, but by the time Kel woke and set his feet on the freezing floor boards, he knew th...
A gentle tug on Tom's arm woke him. Only half-aware, he clutched Hannah tight to his chest in a reflex triggered by dreams of abandonment. She brushed his cheek, and whispered, "I have to pee, but I'll be right back. I promise." The curtains faintly glowed with sunrise. Rain and wind tapped on the glass. Tom languidly stretched, and enjoyed a lazy Sunday...

Thanks to coloryourworld and warrior_wolf for editing. Chec...
Felicity Prescott sat at the end of the very long banquet table at her own engagement celebration, not at all welcoming the salutations that had been sent her way throughout the evening. Her green eyes stared ahead of her at a large cut glass vase full of birds-of-paradise and other exotic greenery. She was beside herself with anger, hating her father, Lord...
After all of the excitement of the day and the restless night the evening before, I slept like a baby that night, although my dreams were interspersed with commercial breaks, intrusive thoughts that my wife was going on a date the next evening. I was exhausted after all of the emotional upheaval and excitement, so these occasional reminders didn't really wak...
It started with an innocent request: "Feel up to going to a party with me and having a drink or two?" It wasn't the first time that Janis had asked me that, but I'd usually said no in the past. Janis wasn't looking to hustle me, she just wanted company at another affair that she really didn't want to go to anyway. Janis, my boss, was a political animal and...
Ah. The gym. I love spending as much time in it as I can. It's my Zen spot so to speak. I am not the greatest person in public so to speak. My life consists of sleep, work, eating and the Gym! May not be the greatest opening to a person life story to this point but it is the truth. It works for me. A few years ago I was just your normal office rat. Just an...
