Announcement:

As many others have already, I'm starting a mailing list (IdyllsOfTheCat) on which I will be sending out copies of my own fanfiction from now on (including erotic and Dark Idylls stories). Anyone who is interested in subscribing, send me an email saying so (including the fact you can read adult material), at luba@lubakmetyk.net.

Anything I write and send out on that mailing list will continue to be posted here also, of course.

Vignettes

• Pulling Their Fat Out of the Fire (Excalibur/Hellblazer)

• Bearing Tidings of Joy (Excalibur/Storm)

  Set sometime after the Storm miniseries -- Ellis never did show Storm telling Colossus she found his brother Mikhail alive in another dimension, so here's that particular conversation.
