Stories by Tris'sLightningQuill

Never did anything from Egwene's PoV before, thought I'd give it a go. A bit of commentary on duty and the contrasting hierarchy of needs of two women who see that duty very differently. And some wishful thinking on my part. ToM spoilers.
The Lanfear problem: she's obviously got some part to play, for good or ill, before this is over. So she's got to be fetched, irregardless of the part where it's a trap. The real question though is who'll mind the convicted murderess once you've got her.
ToM spoilers. Bit of fluffy introspection; Nynaeve's night of 'prayer and contemplation.' A very long-winded and roundabout way to say, 'Wouldn't it be funny if Nynaeve began to wear her hair UP, now.' kudos to anyone who catches the Dr Who reference
Mistress Barran approaches a newly orphaned Nynaeve with a proposition.

GodTouched by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Lirra's boots pounded uselessly down the pavement...Continuing this farce of running did nothing more than prolong her miserable life a few seconds more, but Lirra could not stop. She was dead, and she knew it, worse than dead, and yet she could not stop—

"Then he, in a voice that faltered, thrusting out a volunteering hand that did not echo that hesitation in the slightest, had offered to take her. It was, after all, the least he could do." Chiana and Stark, en route to the diagnosan.
"She'd tried warding her dreams—but there was no running from what lay inside that ward. And what she'd seen out on the street today was enough to give the Forsaken nightmares."

splode by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

"Explosion of color, battery of sound, a boom that went deeper than carbon-fiber core..." Bit of stream-of-consciousness rambling. Zhaan always did seem much too happy whenever she made something go BOOM.

Sore Afraid by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

"You will do this thing, for the good of all, and you will not be afraid...It was an unspeakable, unforgiveable sin they asked of her, for which she fully expected the goddess to turn her face away." Zhaan before the murder of Bitaal
...taking foolish chances or acting giddy. A spell of dizziness, when you tripped and stumbled whenever you tried to move, when you could not say a sentence without your tongue mangling half the words...There are others. Do you remember?
Rather bleh oneshot that should take place on their wedding night...I was always irked that the Myrelle issue was never aired; they're so good at communicating about everything else. Still, she deserves a sentance or two, I think. Needs tweaking.

Going to Ground by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

'Not a grave, no, but a burial all the same...all actions came at a price, and she was paying. ...No regrets.' Some internal rationalizing on Zhaan's part after what transpired on the ice planet.
After leaving Lan at the edge of the Borderlands, Nynaeve can't sleep. Inspired by that chorus line from Shinedown's "If You Only Knew." A/N: Some references might be out of place cos I can't keep my chronology straight... T for safety only.

Ebb & Flow by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

"We all visit the precipice. Each one of us must find our own way down."

Ashes of Mourning by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Faced with an end that is indeed justified by its means, she has no way of making it up to Moya, to Pilot, to Kahaynu, to herself. Someone cares enough to point out the obvious: there's nothing to be done. ZhaanxStark.
The only thing that remained the same in a world turned on its ear. Short and sweet. Cannon from The Loss.

Washed Clean by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Sweet little bit of fluff between Chiana and Zhaan, directly post Taking the Stone. Oneshot for improv.

Puzzle Pieces by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

If she stared at the pieces long enough, maybe they would start to make sense. They had to. Short oneshot done for improv.

running by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

One-shot. Playing with a stream-of-consciousness feel for this one. A scene between Moody and Tonks a few years before his retirement. I wanted to see some of the relationship we missed out on. Please review, I need pointers on how to clean it up.

ShellShock by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

CAUTION! BOOK 4 SPOILERS! When you're on your feet, it's 'Boom, boom, boom, keep punching, stay on your toes' No time to react, no time to absorb the horror going on all around you. It's only afterwards that it really hits you, in the dark, all alone....

I Desire No Man's Pity by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Short and Sweet. oneshot. Faramir's thoughts during that first meeting. to me it feels a little stiff and knows too much. I've got better, but I can't find them.... R&R?

Primrose Path by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Grima's Pov. All the variables that make up this equation that is his life. I always felt like he had repented before the Sacking of the Shire. This is the beginings of that. R&R, please!

Animal I Have Become by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

PoV is unclear but I bet you can guess, ha ha. AU, but this would have been better. This is my 2nd werewolf transformation fic on here...it could be the sequel; what happens after the moon rises. I just really love them together. This way, they can be.

save my last breath by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

an extremely short cannon. I had to write it. Closure, you know? Not that it helped any, but here it is. maybe it'll help you. LupinxTonks. moment preceeding the moment of actual death.

I'm sorry Sev by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

My first LilyxSnape on here! I really wanted to give him a place to finally gratify all those years of unrequited love. still a little bit onesided, but hey... R&R, please! tell me how to fix it! Based sorta loosely on Death Valley Queen by Flogging Molly

Pretending by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Pre Fords of Isen. Eowyn sits with her uncle, a typical day, when a typical day is just too much.... Funnily enough, thoughts of suicide din't figure in to the picture until much later... but murder's a whole different story! Please review if you liked it

Maybe, Baby by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Mostly Remus's PoV. Cannon from DH. I always felt kind of bad for him, he couldn't figure out how to express himself, and he's scared of the wrong things.... he couldn't lighten up and just accept that everything was gonna be alright.....

Tie off the Torniquet by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

some more crappy poetry. Eowyn's pov, centered around RotK. T for saftey. R&R, please, tell me how to fix it!

You Don't Have To Say It For Me To Know by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Sweet little bit of fluff, mid DH, Lupin and Tonks. I drew a picture, and then I HAD to write the scene that went with it! He was always so reserved and leery while she had no inhibitions, giving everything she had. He just didn't know how to show he care

I Will Not Speak of Hypocrisy With You by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

I had many hours to perfect those arguments with my mother... Arya agnsting over Islanzadi's closedmindedness, her antagonisim over her daughter wanting to join the Varden. totally NOT as petty as it sounds! please R&R!

Evermind, Nevermore by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Book setting, after Theodred's funeral. Short and angstfraught. Just reflections on how things are sliding so fast downhill and despair of tomorrow, that things will ever get any better. How can they possibly? Eowyn's PoV, a paragraph in Eomer's. R&R, pl!

Careful What You Wish For by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

This is AU, now. I wrote it long before DH came out. Sort of a chaser to Slip of the Hand, even though I wrote this first. She wanted to be able to understand him, to be able to hold him when he didn't know who he was. Be careful what you wish for... R&R!

Moment in Time by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

A single moment shared by two, unaware of the other, but not so much as they would think... Inspired by a cool desktop I saw one time.

Slip of the Hand of Fate Or Is It? by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Written obviously before DH came out, so i guess it's AU now... canon between HBP and DH. I'd always entertained the idea that Tonks would get bitten, too, so they could truly be together. This just wasn't what she expected. R&R, please!

Interlude by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

TheodredxEowyn, sorry, short and angsty. Not much, I wrote it FOREVER ago, so the wording is pretty much crap. R&R, please! pointers, too, I suck at romance?

Dyed with Tears, Dyed with Blood by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Theodred watching his little cousin growing into womanhood, wishing things weren't so screwed up. A strange, freestyle sort of poem.... I think. That's just the way it came out. T for safety.

To Live For by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Self explainitory. In the Hall of Death, after Sirius is killed, before everybody packs up and moves on. Remus's PoV. T for safety, mild, breif profanity... The very first stirrings of Love and Guilt he never knew that he felt.

Arya's Poem by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Remeber the piece Arya wrote for the Blood Oath Celebration? we never heard how it ended.... so I wrote it for her. I'll probably write a few more verses or something in the neardistant future, but here's what I got so far.... pointers? I suck at poetry?

Bleeding by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

a sort of songthing from Tonks's PoV, during HBP, When she Wasn't There To Hold Him.

Dernhelm by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

Merry's PoV. Observes just some little subtle things about the soldier lad called Dernhelm who championed him. I know it doesn't really go anywhere, and yeah, I know it constantly contridicts itself. R&R, please, even if you hate it, i still wanna know.

Iris by Tris'sLightningQuill Stale Result (Last seen: )

The scene before Tonks leaves her mum's house during the Battle of Hogwarts in the Deathly Hallows. Tonks's PoV. I wrote this mostly just to justify her death to myself in my own mind.... rated T for safty. Please REVEIW!
