How to play:
1. Pick a fandom offered: CSI, LotR, Babylon 5, X-Files, Harry Potter (I know a few more, but I'll restrict it to those because I'm mean).
2. Choose a pairing or characters, and one more specific if you'd like. Examples: Grissom and Sara plant a tree or Kosh talks to a fluffy bunny about coffee.
I am willing to do slash, and any genre within reason. Crossovers are also cool.
3. You can also pick a Wild Card- choose a fandom and I will write a drabble that combines it with one of your interests listed on your LJ profile.
I will bust out a drabble somewhere between 75-150 words for you.
Consider it an Easter egg.
As I'm writing East of the Sun, West of the Moon, I'm constantly on the lookout for good lyrics to start chapters with. So - hit me with some of your favourites, or some you'd think be appropriate or some that just comes to mind for certain characters if you know the fandom. And for Grissom chapters, I use poetry, so feel free to hit me with that, too. *offers much love and gratitude and tub-sharing*

He looks at me. “Yes. But you are not dead, as I am.”
“I'm just imagining you.”
“Maybe. I am not of your time or place. But like you, I sought death to redeem myself.”
“Boromir,” I say. He nods, his face so bright, so bright.
“My guilt was real. Yours is a survivor's. It is not your fault your mother killed your father. You do not have to atone for the murdered.”
“But I do,” I whisper.
“Sara,” he says and spreads his hand, filling it with light. “This is a Silmaril. You remember. You read. It holds the light of the Two Trees.”
“It's all that is left of them after Morgoth's strike.”
“Yes. And the Elves clung to it and though it was fair and bright, it destroyed them.”
“I know.”
“Let it go, Sara. Atonement is good, but obsessions destroy. Even when they are for good things.”
He closes his hands even as I reach for it, and the light fades, his voice fades and I return to the pain and the dark and hear a different voice, calling my name.
“Sara. Come back to me...”
