The Shotgun Wedding...

Not an IV update, but this was my submission to Dare #30 at the Maxis_Taste community at Livejournal. It's really more pic-spam than story. The little plotline is factually correct in the Verona-verse. (I did use the Maxis names in the entry in keeping with the community theme.) You can take a peek at it here, at my Livejournal.

There will be a real update in a day or two!

The library was unusually empty for such a late date in the term. Several days of rain had finally let up, and most of the students were anxious to get out of the dormitories, exams be damned. Tybalt had as much pent-up energy as the rest, but he was determined to swallow it. He had just over a week left in his studies, and he had been excruciatingly well-behaved for too many months to risk a night out.

Hampton Square was empty. It was well past the normal hour of business for the attorneys and other professionals who were the main tenants of the buildings on the square. The shops that sat below the offices were also closed. These shops and offices, as well as the square's proximity to the great building where the Council met, drew large crowds during daylight hours. It was odd to see such a bustling place so dead, Puck thought.

Access to Breathe Such Vows

"Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."

April 12th

Hermia was not happy with the thought of how big and round her stomach would soon be.
