Good Morning, Sunshine

[palace-liam.livejournal.com]

[Takes place right after Liam meets the new Ben.]

Liam escaped the dining room after hurrying through his lunch and ducked into his office. He'd taken a long walk around the pond with Ben after breakfast and had hardly gotten a word in edgewise. It was as though the boy wanted to make up for almost a decade of living right now, immediately. The weird shadows cast by the leafless branches on the path ahead of them fascinated him, the geese and ducks in the pond delighted him, a quick shower they'd waited out in the gazebo made him laugh. Ben wanted to go to school like the others, he wanted to learn to ride, he wanted one of Sara's puppies. He was curious about everything, wanted to talk about everything, try everything, do everything... and Liam was exhausted.

E-Mail

Michael settled down into his chair and switched on his com. This was going to be the best memo he'd ever written, or at least the one he'd most enjoyed writing. Short and to the point.

To: Palace Reception
From: Michael Praed

Please put me back on the roster, half my old hours, everything else the same. And if you could send cards to all my old regulars, that'd be lovely.

Thank you!

[Takes place while Jude is at George's, after Guy has been Levelled up by Sean, been vindicated and proved that Marton is 'the Gambler' and argued with Jason about the Level system and his promotion. Oh, and awhile after Eric fucked Guy during a client session, which I'm supplying the link back to cos the !Pup thought it was hawt.]

Jude,

I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to write something- I should have sat down and done this before now, but, well, I’m shite at this sort of thing, really. I mean, it’s not the same as talking where you can just say whatever and explain it if it doesn’t make any sense, or it comes out wrong.

Anda-l-Thema2 [Will/Marton]

Nodding to the security patrol that passed him, Marton strolled in through the screen that protected his temporary lodgings, his bracelet giving a quiet beep as the software ‘recognized’ him.

Karl and Viggo- like a knife in the gut...

[palace-viggo.livejournal.com]

[This takes place after Karl hires Ben to investigate Harry and Elijah's attacker, Viggo tells Harry and Elijah about Ben's involvement, and Harry convinces Ben to call off the investigation. It is shortly after Karl writes an email to Ben, asking for an update on the case.]

Karl grumbled to himself as he finally got around to checking his messages. The fight with Will was still eating at him. Fucking prick. His eyes lit up when he saw the message from Ben. Thank you just what I need. Some good news. He opened it and read it. Then read it again. And again. "No." He fell into a chair, staring at his com. Willing it to read different.

Visiting Rights. [Harry/Christian Shannon/Willow]

Orlando is going to kick my arse. And not in a way I'm going to enjoy. Harry thought as he walked down the path towards Christian's place, the pocket on his sweatshirt squirming away.
