Every so often

a) LJ threatens to delete inactive things

b) I think I should rework this whole story as origi-fic

c) I realize, it's not quite done, but the rest is another epic.

Archiving: Steve, Val, and talk of jobs

(Steve, Val, and talk of jobs. Ficlet, post Wrap-timeline.)

~*~*~

"...I could get a job," Val offered spontaneously, one morning.

Steve didn't even look up from his paper. "No." It seemed obvious to him that the subject had BAD IDEA written all over it. But Val didn't remember....

"Why not?" Val asked, frowning. "I mean, I know you'll get to go back to work, but I don't want to just freeload, and it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra, right?"

"You can't," Steve said. Because you're not really human....

Archiving: Jake and Tessa ficlet

(Jake and Tessa ficlet (and Keiran mostly by implication). Post Wrap-timeline)

~*~*~

The first time Jake asked Keiran to teach him how to properly service the wyverns, it went like this:

"...There is an entire university program designed around doing just that."

"Yeah, but I'm good with cars. And, uh... mechanical... things."

And he was met with stony silence.

( The second time didn't go any better for Jake... )

Epilogue 1 ~ Kidding Ourselves

We're kidding ourselves, kidding ourselves
so what do you want from me?
As long as there's a pay phone and a taxi cab, I'm alright
cuz I can leave home

We're kidding ourselves, kidding ourselves
so what are you waiting for?
cuz even with a cell phone and a fast car I won't leave
cuz I'd be alone...

Non-story post!

But interesting nonetheless, if you've read Aaron's backstory.

RFID: a great way to keep track of immigrant workers.

Or, you know, criminals. Or other folks.
