I suck at online life this year. Work is still rocky at the moment as we need to find more work to keep working. Family wise, I've been involved since before April. There was my niece's Baptism and First Communion, my birthday (thanks for all the wishes out there), the roomie's birthday (a joint party was held for him, a friend and myself, there was cookie cake), Mother's Day (driving in pouring rain from Missouri back to Kentucky not fun) and coming up is my parents birthdays this weekend (the cake is in the fridge) and then Memorial Day. Where has the year gone!!

In fic news, I need to finish typing up by two <\/a>wc_reverse_bb<\/b><\/a><\/span> fics since I hand wrote them. (remember to email <\/a>cookielaura<\/b><\/a><\/span> about them!!) And then I really need to sit down and do some writing. I've been kind of blah since last fall on writing really. *sad face*

And then the big item... In June, I'm taking a big road trip with my sister and 8 year old niece. My niece gets to compete in a national gymnastics competition that is being held in Las Vegas. We are doing the whole driving thing and making side adventures along the way, including: The Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Santa Monica Beach\/Pier and Hollywood. It will hopefully be an awesome trip, especially for my niece who has only been at the furtherest 4-ish hours away from home. My sister has been doing fund raisers with the gymnastics team and has a Go Fund Me page set up. Hopefully we have it all squared away in another 3.5 weeks!

It's been a while. I also am so behind on my F-List that it isn't even funny. Please drop me a comment if there is something I should absolutely see that has been posted in the last 3 weeks or so.

My hiatus started when I went to St. Louis for my niece's gymnastics meet (in which she got 1st all around for her age group!) at the end of January and then I got sick. I lost my voice and coughed up both lungs repeatedly. I wonder how I can still breathe actually. I still have a bit of a cough going on and I'm tired of it lingering.

In other news, yesterday we got hit with our third largest single day snow fall in recorded weather history for our town (1st was Christmas 2004 and 2nd was back in 1978). We ended up with 11-12\" and it has shut most everything down. Today is my second day at home and I'm not really sure how I will get the car out to the main road from the driveway and alley behind our house. I will attempt it tomorrow I think when hopefully the main roads will be a little more clear. What's not helping is the below 0 temps that have set in meaning nothing is melting anytime soon. Damn groundhog.

The roomie and I took a walk yesterday and saw several stuck cars and helped push one we were close enough to. Definitely don't want to be one of them.

Note<\/b>: Prequel to My Good Fairy<\/a>

Summary<\/b>: The bells were deafening as they sang the tune of those spreading wonder into the world through their intended.
In the deep winter when all other sounds ceased and the land was blanketed in a fresh layer of white, the tolling of the bells signaling the yuletide rang clear through hills and vales. With each bell, a new life was birthed in the form of a fairy taking flight for the first time. They'd soar to the highest cloud and then return to earth to seek out their intended, the child they would protect and nurture.

Leading up to the ringing of the bells, the fairies of a certain age would gather and listen to the tales of those that came before them. Stories of triumph as the protected child matured into the benevolent ruler of a kingdom. Stories of pride when their intended saved the lives of others through selfless acts. Stories of sorrow as the light of their intended was extinguished before it could truly shine.

What no fairy before would share was the story of the fallen. They were forsaken among the kin. Every winter thousands of fairies took the sky, their lights created a kaleidoscope across the frozen world. However, there were those who took to the sky without a bell ringing out for them. Silence followed their ascent to the sky and destruction weaved the earth upon their return.

The intended of the fallen led destructive lives. Evil filled their heart and spilled out as the raped the world around them. The fallen fairies nurtured the darkest desires within their intended and reveled in the evil they wrought. From their first flight, an impenetrable silence followed the trails of light the fairy left behind.

Until that first flight, no fairy would know who would be among the fallen. Many had tried over the millennia to force the bells to ring and therefore change the fate of the intended the fallen would seek out. But the bells would remain silent and no force could move them to send up even the smallest chime.

The unknowing initiates awaiting the bells were not aware of the danger that could befall them. For all fairies began life with only love, honor and courage in their spirits. They were friends to all they met and only wanted the best in life for all creatures around them.

One such fairy was beloved by both his contemporaries and his companions. He had waited for a hundred years for his calling to be an initiate. During that time, he had memorized all the tales of fairies past and the lives of their intended.

Among his favorite was the triplets that shared one intended and protected her for many a year from a curse set down on her through no fault of her own. In the end, she was saved by her beloved and continued to life to lead her people down a path of enlightenment.

The other was the tale of the fairy who fought beside her intended against pirates, Indians and others wanting to harm her intended and the boys he protected. Stories of her daring and near death never failed to hold the younger fairies captive as the elders weaved the tales. He could only hope that his intended would be an adventurer that allowed him to see many far away lands and exotic locations.

Prior to their first flight, all fairies are confined to the frozen lands of the north. Only the occasional soul had penetrated their lands One intended still resided in the lands of the fairies, with his fairy being the highest ranking elder in the flight of the entire world. However, he kept to his workshops and the fairies watched from afar as he worked with magic that he had developed many years prior to spread peace and joy throughout the world.

The dream of all fairies was to escape their land and see the wonders that had been shared with them over the years of stories. Some of the wonders had already left the world, such as the massive reptiles that roamed the lands for eons. Other wonders were yet to be discovered as intended sometimes achieved travel that transcended the world in which they lived.

Suddenly a point of light lit the sky to the north of the initiate fairies. The light beam generated from the center of the northern most point of the world. The fairies who had lost their intended throughout the year would gather and burn their light one last time to call the initiates to duty.

With a blink of an eye, the initiates were gathered around the light. The circle expanded out to fill the land around them with a deep glow that was steadily increasing. Excitement filled the air around them as they felt the pull into the beam of light before.

Then the first initiate stepped into the beam and a melodic chime filled the air as the initiate raised into the sky on the beam of light. From there, the multitudes of others followed into the light and sang out as they soared into the clouds. The fairies fanned out along the horizon, letting their light shine. The light spread until it broke the boundaries of their land and spilled into the lands of their intended.

The initiate fairy beloved by those around them had elected to remain at the edge of the circle. He wanted to see the lights of those going before pierce the sky. He loved to hear the bells as they rang clear through their silent land. It was a magical sight and he hesitated for just a moment before he joined the display.

Finally, the last of the other initiates had stepped into the light and only he was left looking up the lights surround him above. The bells were deafening as they sang the tune of those spreading wonder into the world through their intended. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever beheld.

Then Pyr stepped into the light and waited for a bell that did not ring.<\/a>

Summary<\/b>: With his leg in a brace and his sports career in shambles, Tony has no choice but to spend the holidays at home. However, instead of sipping eggnog by the fire with the elves, Senior sends him on an important mission involving a Marine who lost everything. Little did Senior know, it would take Tony ten years to put warmth back in the heart of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

<\/center>

<\/center>
Tony bit back a curse as he was bumped yet again on the crowded sidewalk. While he was thankful to be away from his dad and the craziness that surrounded home during Christmas, he was not happy with his current situation. Crutches and a full leg brace did not mix well with a swarm of Christmas shoppers littering the street.

Tony let out a sigh when he saw the sign for the place he was supposed to go. It was a typical looking diner and supposedly there was someone inside that needed saving. Tony just wasn't sure what use he would be since he only had a fraction of the Christmas magic that his dad possessed.

He hadn't even planned to be home for Christmas. Some of his frat brothers had planned the ultimate ski retreat for the break and Tony had saved every dollar he could from his job at the cafeteria to go with them. When Tony had opted to avoid the family business in favor of college, his dad had cut him off in hopes of changing his mind. But Tony had persevered and made it to his senior year on his own.

Then came the injury. The game was against Michigan State and the rivalry was bitter on the field. But it was a legal hit from some guy named Pitt that had crushed any future he could dream about in sports. It also crushed the trip to the ski lodge. Granted, Tony could have lounged around the fireplace while his frat brothers hit the slopes, but just the idea of it made him feel lonely.

Instead, Tony had called home and asked his dad if he could stay there over break. At least he would have others to interact with instead of a TV set and all the not-so-hidden stashes of porn around the frat house. His dad's head elf had popped him back home where he didn't see his dad for three days.

When his dad finally showed up, he started in on his typical speech about how Tony was wasting his life with college and sports. Senior always insisted that Tony needed to help bring good into the lives of others, even if it wasn't through delivering toys to all the good little girls and boys.

So Tony was tasked with bringing cheer to someone in desperate need of it. The file Tony had been given showed a man who had lost everything. His wife and daughter had been killed while the man was stationed overseas, so he didn't even have the chance to say goodbye. The file also included Kelly's last Christmas wish, to see her dad smile. Since he'd learned of their deaths, Leroy Jethro Gibbs had not smiled once and Tony had no clue how to change that.

The jingling bell of the diner brought Tony's attention to the person he was tasked to cheer up. The diner was crowded as he'd been promised when he the man sitting alone at a booth.

\"Mind if I sit here?\" Tony took the grunt for a yes and lowered himself down, leaving his bad leg sticking out to the side. Gibbs didn't seem to be one for conversation, so Tony gave the menu card a quick scan.

\"What's good in this joint?\" Tony asked hoping for a response.

\"Don't try your luck with that one, Honey,\" came a waitress' voice above him. \"He just stares into his coffee cup and ignores the rest of us. Now with that leg of yours, I'd say you need a decent helping of pancakes and maybe some bacon and eggs to top it off. How do yah like your coffee?\"

\"With more sugar than coffee.\" Tony flashed his smile at the waitress and waited for her to wonder off before engaging Gibbs again. \"Looks like she's right about the staring. Now me, I like staring at things other than my coffee. Football games, basketball games, ladies\u2026\" Tony trailed off realizing the man wouldn't respond, so he went for broke. \"Even check out the guys sometimes, especially the older ones.\"

That rewarded him with a raised eyebrow and a set of blue eyes glaring at him. Tony had a moment to wonder if he'd have more injuries to go with his leg before the man looked back down.

\"Ask for extra bacon.\"

The gruff voice startled Tony and also had an effect that he had just teased about moments before. He pushed the thought out of his head. He was just there to make the man smile and then he'd be back home sipping eggnog with the elves.

The waitress was back then with his food and he did as Gibbs had said and asked her for extra bacon. His first bite proved that it was justified and he couldn't help the groan that escaped his lips.

\"Thanks for that,\" Tony said around a mouth full of food. \"Living in a frat house doesn't give me food options that taste like this. Too bad this place is too far away from Ohio. So, other than bacon, what floats your boat?\"

The man's head shot up and he looked like he was boring into Tony's mind. Tony was about to continue when Gibbs spoke instead.

\"Boats, bourbon and redheads.\"

Tony smirked. Maybe he could work with that. A quick glance around the diner showed a redhead alone at the counter. The space next to her had cleared off and Tony was positive he could make sparks happen.

He placed his hand on the table and started drumming the tune to We Wish You a Merry Christmas<\/i>. He could feel the magic building up in his fingers as he reached the end of the song and then he let it go, watching it slide across the table to Gibbs' coffee cup. Thankfully, the man picked it up for a drink just after the spell hit it.

To Tony's relief, Gibbs downed his drink and then headed to the open spot on the counter for his refill. He watched as the redhead started talking to him while he waited. Then Gibbs sat down with his new cup and Tony was left to finish his breakfast alone.

Tony figured his mission was complete because there was no way that redhead wouldn't put a smile on Gibbs' face at some point. But at the same time, Tony felt an ache deep inside him that he wasn't the one putting the smile on Gibbs' face. With a sigh, Tony left a generous tip courtesy of his dad's money and then left the diner to find a payphone to call for a ride home.

Instead of being filled with the Christmas spirit after a job well done, Tony found himself reading the file on Gibbs over and over again. The one thing that stuck in his mind was that Gibbs was just starting out as a federal investigator, working for the man that been assigned his wife and daughter's case. It was with that thought in mind that Tony rethought his career path when he returned to school. Law enforcement sounded like the right mix of real world life and doing good for others. Maybe, just maybe, he could appease his dad.

<\/center>

10 Years Later<\/b>

Tony was running as fast as he could. He was thankful he was wearing the souped up tube socks the elves had given him for Christmas after the disaster that was Philly. They wanted him to always be able to outrun the bad guys after that.

He had finally caught the guy and tackled him to the ground. With the gun pointed down he shouted, \"I said freeze, dirtbag!\"

Instead Tony froze when saw two very familiar blue eyes looking up at him. Apparently the recognition went both ways because the guy mouthed, \"Play along,\" at Tony and he did.

It wasn't until Tony was working at NCIS and his wedding plans with Wendy had gone up in smoke that Tony was finally ready to confront Leroy Jethro Gibbs on that one moment of shared history. Tony had picked up a bottle of bourbon and a pizza and headed for the man's house. It was Christmas Eve, but he figured the man wasn't celebrating.

From what Tony had learned through Abby after she had warmed up to him, was that Gibbs was just ending his marriage with his third divorce. She didn't seem to know anything about Gibbs' first wife, so Tony kept that to himself. But according to Abby, all three had been redheads.

When Gibbs hadn't answered the door, Tony tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. He wondered the unfamiliar house until he heard Gibbs shout something about the basement. Finding the door in the kitchen, he made his way down the steps and to his shock, discovered the frame of a boat in the basement. He barked out a laugh.

\"Boats and bourbon. Makes sense now.\" Tony sat his offerings on the workbench that had an empty space on it. \"I take it the redheads didn't pan out?\"

\"What do you think? How about you? Wendy didn't seem to match that older man thing you rambled on about.\"

\"I was only rambling because you weren't talking. And I gave up finding older men after meeting you. No one measured up.\"

Tony's heart stopped. He hadn't meant to let that slip out. It was the truth and every year, the elves had sent him an update on his mission that had ultimately failed. Apparently, just any smile didn't count. His dad had wanted a genuine smile to fulfill the wish that Kelly Gibbs had made.

Tony was staring at the concrete floor when felt calloused fingers lift his chin. Then Gibbs was kissing him with everything he had and Tony found himself kissing back. He wrapped his arms around the older man and never wanted to let go. Finally they pulled back and Tony saw the corners of Gibbs' mouth lift up and it wasn't long before there was a full-toothed grin on the man's face.

\"At the diner, you never asked me how I liked my men.\"

\"How's that?\" Tony asked breathlessly.

\"Like you.\"

And as Tony leaned in for another kiss, he heard the faint jingling of bells from his dad's sleigh.<\/a>

Summary<\/b>: Neal remembers one of Mozzie's closely guarded secrets in just the nick of time.

\"Damn!\"

Neal's sharp voice startled both Peter and El. For the past week the man had been a silent sentinel watching over Mozzie's body as the machines he was hooked up to kept him alive.

\"He's going to kill me when he wakes up,\" Neal muttered looking at his watch. \"Only one day left. He never misses the deadline.\"

Peter reached over and placed his hand on Neal's shoulder and was grateful when the man stopped talking and looked up.

\"Never misses what?\"

Peter could tell that Neal was torn in telling him what was wrong. Nobody guarded his secrets more closely than Mozzie.

\"As long as it's not illegal, let us help. I owe him more than that,\" Peter added softly as he thought about how it should have been El lying in that hospital bed instead of Mozzie.

\"There's an orphanage,\" Neal said with a heavy sigh. \"Every year he visits a few weeks before Christmas dressed as Santa and finds out what the kids really want for Christmas. Then at midnight on Christmas Eve, he delivers the toys.\"

El walked over and squeezed Mozzie's hand gently before bending down and placing a kiss to his forehead. They had been on one of their sporadic shopping dates when a mugger had held them at gunpoint. She had handed her purse over and was preparing to remove her jewelry when the mugger had pulled the trigger. She didn't remember much between the loud bang and then holding her hands over the blood pouring from Mozzie's chest as she screamed for help.

She had kept a vigil with Neal at Mozzie's bedside while Peter and the rest of the team provided unrequested support to the NYPD in finding the shooter. However, once word spread through the communities in which Mozzie maneuvered, the shooter turned himself to cops after a few days fearing for his life.

They were left waiting for Mozzie to wake up. The doctors were hopeful that he would make a full recovery, but they couldn't promise when that recovery would be.

\"I'll say with Mozzie. You two round up the gang and make sure those kids have their Christmas.\"

Peter and Neal left with their marching orders. However, Peter was quick to learn that finding Mozzie's toy stash and delivering them would be a challenge.

\"He has them stored at the North Pole, but-\"

\"You've never been to the North Pole,\" Peter finished for Neal.

\"I have the key to finding it. It was one of his 'in case of emergency' things. Never thought I'd have to use it.\"

\"As long as you don't need my shoe laces, we can handle it.\"

Neal just gave Peter a strange look and then they were off. It took the four of them several hours to follow the clues, but they were finally standing in a loft apartment that had every tacky Christmas decoration a person could imagine on display. The lights were on a timer and Neal couldn't help but laugh at the eccentric tendencies that Mozzie had.

\"Found the list!\" Diana was holding a long roll of parchment paper while Jones and Peter surveyed the piles of unwrapped gifts.

\"Let's get to work,\" Neal said with determination as he pulled his jacket off and rolled up his sleeves.

The last bow was tied with just an hour to spare. Luckily, Mozzie had the foresight to make sure that the North Pole was next door to the children's home he had selected to be the benefactor of Christmas cheer for.

\"Too bad he didn't have a trick wall built into this thing,\" Jones muttered as they tried to determine how to move the presents.

\"That's it!\" Neal snapped his fingers and walked over to the shared wall. He started a tapping routine that ended with a hollow sound answering him back several minutes later.

\"Now to find the trigger.\"

It turned out to be the red nose on a figure of Rudolph. The door opened to reveal a large entrance area decorated with a plethora of children's artwork. There was a tree in the center. Thankfully, the lights were out and only the safety lighting was casting a soft glow in the room. It seemed safe, so Neal stepped through without hesitation and then chuckled at the three FBI agents that were hovering in the door.

\"Don't think of it as breaking and entering. It's charitable good deeds and even the FBI can approve of that.\"

Decision made, they started lugging all the gifts into the space under the tree. It took them nearly an hour to transfer everything, including a group of extra gifts that were placed in an office that Neal picked the lock to. Apparently, Mozzie even accounted for the chance that a few extra kids had arrived since his Santa visit. It was when Neal was leaving the office with an empty red back that a small voice startled him.

\"You're not Santa.\"

Neal looked over at the young boy. He was wearing glassing and clothes that were a bit too big on him. He also had a stuffed teddy bear clutched tightly in his hands.

\"I'm one of his elves,\" Neal whispered as he knelt down to the boy's level.

\"But Santa said he'd see me tonight.\" The sadness carried in the boy's voice broke Neal's heart as he thought about the 'real' Santa lying in the hospital bed.

\"That's why he sent me. Rudolph got sick and Santa had to take care of him, but he remembered his promise so he asked me to come and see you.\"

\"Can you tell him something for me?\" Neal nodded and leaned in to listen. \"Miss Jessica said I was getting a home for Christmas. A real one. I just wanted Santa to know so he'd find me next him.\"

\"Don't worry,\" Neal said as he pulled the boy into a hug. \"Santa will find you.\"

And across town, El smiled as Mozzie opened his eyes.<\/a>

Sequel to Three Modifications<\/a>

Summary<\/b>: Shannon leads Jethro to the last present to be opened on Christmas day.

Jethro smiled as his wife's arms wrapped around him from behind the couch. She leaned in and he could feel her breath tickle his ear. With the mound of destroyed wrapping paper and the crackling fire in the fireplace, things couldn't have been better.

\"Kelly's out for the count, Jethro. I think between the food and the overdose on new Nintendo games, she won't be surfacing until sometime tomorrow afternoon.\"

He smiled as he though of the excited face his daughter had as she unwrapped each gift. Thanks to his promotion and some inheritance money from Shannon's mom, Santa had been very generous this year.

\"I think Santa might have left one more thing in the bedroom just for you. But only if you've been a good boy.\"

With a nip to his ear, Shannon headed for the stairs and Jethro followed her as fast as he could. He wasn't sure what his wife had planned, but he was sure it would be satisfying all around.

Instead of being in the bed like he'd expected, Jethro entered their bedroom to find Shannon sitting on her reading chair. Only instead of facing the window, she had turned it toward the bed and the large box that was in front of the bed with a big bow on it.

\"Go ahead, honey. I know that you'd never do this yourself, but I also know all those desires you keep locked away in that head of yours. So I decided it was time to do something about it.\"

Deciding to keep silent for the moment, Jethro walked toward the box. There wasn't any visible seem, so he figured it was just sitting on top of something. Placing hands on each side, he carefully lifted the box up and revealed a kneeling man in perfect form with his head lowered in submission.

\"Shan?\" He winced at the way his voice cracked. A slave was something that he had only spoken to his wife about in their pitch-black bedroom after a particularly rough round of sex. She would coax his deepest desires and wishes from him, working him like a well-oiled machine.

\"Merry Christmas, Jethro. And before you say no, think about what my mother would have said if she was still around to see what I used the money for.\"

Jethro gave a chuckle. Had the slave been for Shannon, her mother would have spared no expense, but the man in front of him was definitely to his tastes, not Shannon's.

\"Stand,\" he said sharply, tapping the slave on his shoulder. He was pleased at how fluid the slave was in his movements. Jethro wasn't sure how long he'd been stashed away out of sight, but no stiffness showed in the lithe body before him.

Jethro took his time moving around the young man. He looked to be about twenty and the mark on his tattoo told Jethro that he was the first real owner the boy had had. Something stirred inside of him, knowing that he could shape the slave into exactly what he wanted, a plaything for him, help for his wife and an extra guardian for Kelly.

He stopped in front of the slave and reached his hand out to lift the hard dick the slave was sporting. He was pleased to see studs lining the length and a Prince Albert on the tip of his dick. Jethro's mind was whirring with the possibilities of what he would do with all those piercings.

His chest was bare of any modifications, but Shannon knew that Jethro had dreams of piercing his imaginary slave's nipples himself. On impulse, he kept on hand on the slave's dick and moved the other to pinch and twist one of those pert nipples. He was pleased when he felt the cock pulse in his hand and heard an intake of breath from the slave.

\"What's your name?\" he said gruffly as he kept his fingers moving on the nipple.

\"Tony, Master,\" came the soft response and Jethro was lost.

He leaned in and captured Tony's mouth with his own and tightened the hand on the slave's cock. Jethro's already hardening cock was pressing against his pants with aggression when he felt the studs that lined Tony's tongue.

\"Down.\"

Jethro was impressed when Tony immediately dropped to his knees and started working the zipper on his pants. He let his hands drift to Tony's head and card his fingers through the man's silky red hair. Just as Tony freed his cock and sucked the tip into his mouth, Jethro heard a gasp from across the room.

He looked up to see his wife sitting in the chair with hand buried in her pussy and another twisting at her own nipples.

\"What's his natural hair color?\" Jethro managed to ask. The studs on Tony's were rubbing in all the right places and the slave had been trained to deep throat.

\"A sandy color,\" Shannon panted out. \"Thought you might like the red for tonight, though.\"

And Jethro did. He was about to come and he didn't want his first time to be down his slave's throat. Jethro grasped the hair in his head and pulled Tony off his cock, tilting his head to look up at him.

\"On the bed, on your back. You prepped?\"

\"Yes, Master.\"

While the slave positioned himself, Jethro stripped his clothes off and walked over to his wife. He leaned down and pulled her in for a kiss.

\"I don't know what I did to deserve you, or him.\"

\"Just let me watch you enjoy him,\" she said with a wink.

With his marching orders, Jethro headed back to the bed where the slave was watching him with half lidded eyes. Jethro climbed onto the bed and pushed Tony's arms into the pillows above his head.

\"I want to hear every sound you make,\" he breathed into Tony's face. \"And you come when I come inside of you.\"

Without another word, Jethro hooked Tony's legs over his shoulders and lined his dick up with Tony's puckered hole. With one solid push, he was flush against the man and was pleased when Tony let a whimper out of his mouth. Determined to hear more, Jethro began moving, setting a swift pace as he fucked his knew slave.

As he got closer, Jethro took his hand and started tugging on Tony's cock, enjoying the hefty feel of it. He allowed him a brief moment to wonder how it would feel inside of him before he cried out as he spilled inside of Tony's body. He gave one final tug at Tony and the other man was squirting out, coating Jethro's stomach and hand with his seed.

Unable to think, Jethro collapsed on top of the man and enjoyed the feeling of the muscles underneath his body. He wasn't sure how long it was before he felt Shannon's hand on his cheek and he let himself roll off of his newly claimed slave.

Jethro looked up at his wife with love in his eyes. Then he glanced over and saw Tony watching them both with a slightly terrified look in his eyes. It was in that moment, that Jethro realized he was going to fall in love for the second time in his life. It was the perfect Christmas gift.<\/a>

El tapped her heeled foot as she looked down at the two kittens staring up at her. One had a stony glare he was leveling at his companion while the other was eying El's skirt as if calculating his ability to climb.

\"Don't.\" El voice stopped the adventurous kitten with its paw mid air. The kitten slowly drew the paw to his mouth and started grooming himself like that was his intention the entire time.

\"How you two survived to adulthood is beyond me. I'd be tempted to wait a week or two before tracking Mozzie down-\" El paused as both kittens flattened their ears and gave pitiful matching cries.

\"But since I like having the human versions of you both in bed, I don't want to deprive myself.\"

\"Next time, Neal,\" El said as she scooped up the previously grooming kitten, \"don't touch the glowing ancient artifact.\"

She tucked a purring Neal under one arm and picked up her husband.

\"And you\u2026\" she started, pulling Peter's nose to her own so the kitten looked cross-eyed at her. \"Don't yell at the keeper of said artifact just because Neal can't keep his hands to himself. From what Mozzie's told me, angering the ones working for Gods is sometimes worse than angering the Gods themselves.\"<\/a>

It's a big thing around my house. The street my roomie and I live on is the main trick-or-treating street in town. A few years ago, a guy a few blocks used a counter as kids came up and he ticked just over 2,000.

Every year we host a party and invite friends over and just ask them to bring a bag of candy to help hand out. It's usually a blast. Last year wasn't as a big since the tornado sirens went off in the middle of it all sending the trick-or-treaters running and us sitting in the basement with a few guests. Here's hoping for better weather this year.

Costume wise, we're doing Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and the outside will have some NBC decorations to compliment us (yes, we are dragging the Christmas tree out and putting it on the porch). My mom is piecing together my dress. So far I have a secondhand $2 black dress that she is piecing the various fabrics pieces onto. Two t-shirts have been sacrificed for this process.

Below are a few pictures of our indoor decorations...

Summary<\/b>: In hindsight, maybe he should have caved like all the other mindless slaves around him.

It was dark and dank in the hole. He had lost track of time and he was sure that what little tidbits of food were dropped to him were not on any type of schedule, because the deep gnawing hunger within him was too great in between the gaps of falling morsels. In retrospect, trying to castrate his master without being certain of his success had been a great miscalculation. He'd held the knife to the man's dick and balls and hesitated for just a second. But that second was all it had taken for his master to wake up and realize what was happening. The man had been lightening fast in overpowering him and turning the knife on his own manhood.

He had been sure the knife was going to cut him, but instead his master had just grinned and called out for one of the other slaves to toss him in the hole. Now he was withering away in the darkness. The last of the food and water had been gone for days if the dryness of his body was any indication. Maybe if he'd just been compliant when his master wanted to fuck him raw and whip his back. That would have been a blessing to the hell he was now living with. He longed for nothing more than a quick end. But death was still far from his grasp.<\/a>

In other news, my cousin had her wedding shower today and I made my new and improved strawberry jello shots for the event. My first time making these was for Valentine's Day. That time, I just had the strawberries and had to carefully slice the bottom off and try to make them stand on their own. That was hard. I made them again over the 4th of July weekend and got some ice cube trays to sit them in. This didn't allow me much room to make a lot.

So I figured out a better method. This time I made candy cups. I got the chocolate and vanilla candy chips and a chocolate melter. Then using molds, made the cups. The cups were just the right size to hold the strawberries. The strawberries were hollowed out and then jello was poured in to set. Whip cream topped them off. They were a hit, although these were the non-alcoholic version. :)
