    How Green Becomes Wood

    "They are fascinating. I wonder what Becky thinks. I actually haven't heard from her yet, or Tom, but Tom almost never texts. He hates texting with as much passion as some people hate calling," Alec told her. "Thank you again for stopping by, and for the brownies and for our bags." Xander...

    "Yeah, alright," Xander agreed. "Sounds good. I'm supposed to do basically nothing for the next couple of days. Which is really lame." He didn't mention that at least for now, he didn't actually want to do anything. Lounging on the floor with Enkidu was about as exciting as he wanted his...

    "He'll be alright, just bruised," Xander told her. "Bad bruises, but bruises. He should be back to work soon." "Xander has a concussion and can't do Judo for at least a month," Alec informed her. "I got out fine. Just a couple of little bruises."

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec looked away, not sure what to say or how to feel about what some people said about his father. Rumors were usually cruel, that was inevitable, but it still hurt to hear it. Dark hitting Mr. Reilly was just too ridiculous to fathom. How did they tell her the truth? Xander took over. He...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander paused in his inspection of the pringles to look at Sloan. "That is going to take a lot of concealer," he said seriously. "I'll help him out," Alec said with a slightly wavering smile. "I'm kind of glad the rumors aren't about us, but... are they being particularly mean about Ba...

    Xander's eyes lit up at the sight of the snack pack and took them with both hands, backing up a little so he could examine them thoroughly. He looked a bit like a squirrel that had just been handed his favorite nut. "Thanks. Hey, at least this time I didn't start it," he remarked. "True. He...

    New User Good Morning!

    Hey, that's more coding than I can do, that's for sure! :D Found-family is one of my all-time favorite troupes. I'm not opposed to romantic relationships, and I can enjoy those ones quite a bit, but my favorite have always been more along the non-romantic lines. Are you the type to reuse...

    New User Good Morning!

    Hello and welcome to our corner of the internet! I hope you find what you're looking for here. You know how to code, huh? That is awesome! I used to know a little bit, but then after not using it for a while, it's all left my head. That is a cool skill to have. I'm quite a fan of free-form...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander had been about to say he was fine where he was when Daizi's last words registered. "Pringles?" he repeated quietly. "Brownies?" Alec asked, brightening. They both got up and made sure they were appropriately dressed for company before heading downstairs. Alec went first to greet Sloan...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Upstairs, the twins basically did not move except to find new positions of comfort until noon. Alec came down for lunch, which he took upstairs to eat with Xander, and while he tried to smile and be at least some level of "normal" for Daizi and Dark, he was more subdued and quiet than he...

    "Of course. I will speak to you again soon." She hung up, leaving Dark time to hopefully rest. Finally.

    "Good," she said shortly. "I recognize that you are currently otherwise occupied and in need of rest, but when you feel sufficiently recovered, I would appreciate a full debrief of what actually happened. Reports only tell part of the story. In the meantime, rest well, and let me know if...

    "I see," she said tightly. More tapping. "From what I understand, the felon in question was not a particularly law-abiding citizen with many cases of violence pending against him." A slight pause. "And yourself. Are you badly injured?"

    How Green Becomes Wood

    There was a long silence on Ciara's end punctuated by the very light sound of slow tapping like she was tapping a fingernail against something hard or maybe typing something very slowly. "Are they badly injured?" she finally asked.

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "I received news that my nephews and their guardian were apparently in some sort of altercation yesterday afternoon," she said, her voice clipped. "The altercation was severe enough to warrant police, an arrest, and an ambulance. I would like to inquire why it is that I had to hear about this...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec tiredly dragged himself upstairs and paused in surprise when he saw the door open. Strange. Xander almost never left the door open. Then he saw Enkidu laying on the floor with Xander and it made sense. He didn't want to crowd them, so he carefully climbed up onto his bed and lay on the...

    Alec let Daizi go and went to Dark briefly. "I'm going to go upstairs now to check on Xander." He gave Ivy a little stroke before heading off. "You are very welcome," Sally assured Daizi as she located her shoes. "Truly. I am more than happy to do it. Call me if you need me." She gave...

    "Good boy," Xander murmured. He settled down onto his side and ran his fingers through Enkidu's fur, grateful for the non-human companionship. His skin still felt horrible after the doctor's touch, but it hadn't been as prolonged as sometimes, and, frankly, he was too exhausted to shower...

    Xander almost closed the door until he realized Enkidu wanted to come in. He left the door open and pulled a couple of blankets and a pillow from his bed, laying them down on the floor. Laying down on the blankets, he patted the open spot beside him, inviting Enkidu to join him. "They ask a...

    "Of course! If you are alright with it," Sally said, rocking Ivy gently against her shoulder. "Thank you for sharing your baby with me." The twins arrived home then, with Dark on their heels. Sally called her hello, and Alec practically dove at his mother for a hug. Xander stayed long...
