"Val, Bane and Rune's journey (finally!) continues! ...but it looks like it might be a rough ride..."
“God. Fucking. Dammit!” I screech. And then I cough because screeching requires a lot of breath, and breathing in a lot while your face is very close to the ground is not a terribly bright idea.You know how they say...
"A man and a woman make a home together."
She looked at the white-and-gray metal box with the big round porthole. Her arms were crossed and her brow was knitted.He glanced at her sideways, a small curl of a smile hiding in the corner of his mouth, underneath the...
"Valerie Greene is now between jobs... and other things."
I am running. On the run. Again. My lungs are two loaves of agony in my heaving chest, screaming curses at me with every gasp of air. My legs pump me forward even though they are full of lead and...
"Action rises on our spaceship..."
In the end, I don’t really get to ask Rune too many questions at that time because he distracts me with wet kisses (we’re still in the shower, you see), and then I have my mouth otherwise full for a...
"Math is hard, just like some other things in the exam room..."

"One human and two aliens walk out of a bar on Vurn X'lora 15..."
So the Dryth appear to be Time Lords, or maybe they raided Gallifrey and took the TARDIS with them. In any case, far as I can tell, their ship is much bigger on the inside than it has any right...
"Some AIs know you better than you know yourself."
I’m not sure exactly how The Boxx works. That’s part of its allure and magic, I think.Four new branch stores have opened in the city in the last two months alone. I read somewhere that the newest ones are extremely...
"Thin walls make for close neighbors."

"Campus Security insists on the follow-up inspection"
He had prepared.He had cleaned the room top to bottom and made sure and doubly sure that it, all adjacent rooms, and the entire corridor would be abandoned for the rest of the day. There were no cameras in the...
