I dragged myself upwards from the deep sea of sleep, through the lightening green and blue to the shallows, and then to the surface. As I did so, I saw Ned's face as he bent over me, boater at the most perfect angle, smiling and then pursing his lips for ...

And I woke, and I was in my bed in Holywell Manor, alone. Damn! Still, it was only another three weeks until the wedding; and Lady Schrapnell had promised to hide the bishop's birdstump entirely with flowers.

I love that book! Connie Willis is a fave of mine. Of course Ned's boater is perfect.

I wanted to name my most recent kitten Penwiiper but was overruled. She ended up Lyra which is whole other story of course.

If you ever write more of these I will scarf them right up.

Thank you for reading! :-)

I don't think I have ever written more than one drabble in the same universe, but this may change at some point. My others are here:

Not a fandom I know, but it sounds fun. :)

Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog. It is fun!
