Merry has always wanted to know more about the flora and fauna of the world - and apparently this 'Strider' knows a lot about it.

Sweetness Follows
Rodney was talking about fever and how screwed they were and, if John hadn’t been feeling quite so fundamentally awful, then he might have let out an unmanly giggle, because, hell yeah, Rodney gave him fever and as for being screwed, that was A-OK by him. Rodney could screw John, John could screw Rodney, they could try to screw each other, in some MC Escher-style impossible Kama Sutra, and then maybe this all-body ache he had going would ease away into the universe and he could float like a butterfly, sting like a bee … and hey, there was his train of thought, chugging off happily into the clouds and getting lost in them.

Panic! at the Disco, Bandom
“Every flower must grow through dirt.”
So this was written for the 7 Wildflowers challenge for Midsummer. The flower I was given was Dog's Mercury.
Dog's Mercury is toxic to animals, but in my story I have made it toxic to humans as well.
Ryan Ross is one of the best witches in his principality. He runs a potion shop with his oldest friend, Spencer Smith. He's rare in that he's able to refine Dog's Mercury for use in potions. He doesn't care that it's dangerous, he just wants to make enough money to get Spencer and himself out of their bigoted and narrow-minded village, to escape to the magical land of Gensia.
Although I have put Ryan and Spencer as the pairing on this, this is pre-slash as Spencer has no idea how Ryan feels about him.

At the lowest ebb of her fortunes, Morwen was left with only two of her former servants: Sador who was lame in one foot and Ragnir who was blind.

Stew (A year overdue)
It has been almost a year since the Shire has been well again - free of all banes, and back to the way Samwise remembered. Well, he's changed a lot. The journey has changed him a lot. And certain things remind him of that past, even something as simple as a rabbit stew - given by friends, and eaten with the one he saved the world with.

Traveller's joy
The city & the city - China Mieville)
Vitalba
To try to soothe the breach within his heart (and, perhaps, to try to find a home within it), he looks between the city and the city, past the edges, (sharp and raw and wineglass-ringed, but somehow still hopeful), and he reaches out, elsewhere, towards both-cities, and his heart taps out a rhythm, and he thinks of unseen poetry.
A man from Besźel and a man from Ul Qoma share their favourite book (the same, yet different, and yet both at the same time) with each other.

Holding a candle and standing in front of a mirror, it was impossible not to be reminded of a time in my life when I'd done the exact same thing in a very different context. Years ago, this little ritual had meant conversing with the ancient fiend trapped inside me—meeting his hate-filled gaze as he threatened me and all my loved ones in his cold prim voice. Now I was doing it to figure out if I had feelings for a cute guy from school.
Alastor would mock the whole situation mercilessly, I was pretty sure.

For years, Beau Swan has had recurring dreams of Florentis - of a land of flowers, of ruins, of the night, and of a mysterious, handsome man. But when evidence of his dreams begin to manifest in the real world, Beau is caught up in feelings of love, desire, and circumstances that began many centuries before he was born.

With the visit of a red-eyed raven and the wistful voice of that man, Carlisle, calling to him, Beau sets out for Florentis - even if it means leaving his life behind!

For years, Beau and Carlisle met beneath the moonlight every night, fated to grow closer to each other, fall passionately in love, and eventually reunite someday, in that ethereal land of flowers. But as memories flash by and Beau solves the mystery, will they find their happily ever after - or will they be separated for good?

Ginny didn't know how her opinion of Luna Lovegood had changed, from Loony Lovegood who spoken like she could fly through the clouds by flapping her arms, to someone who wasn't Loony, like Ginny would call her in the past years.

To try to soothe the breach within his heart (and, perhaps, to try to find a home within it), he looks between the city and the city, past the edges, (sharp and raw and wineglass-ringed, but somehow still hopeful), and he reaches out, elsewhere, towards both-cities, and his heart taps out a rhythm, and he thinks of unseen poetry.

Holding a candle and standing in front of a mirror, it was impossible not to be reminded of a time in my life when I'd done the exact same thing in a very different context.

Now I was doing it to figure out if I had feelings for a cute guy from school.
Alastor would mock the whole situation mercilessly, I was pretty sure.

A Memory…
For years, Beau and Carlisle met beneath the moonlight every night, fated to grow closer to each other, fall passionately in love, and eventually reunite someday, in that ethereal land of flowers. But as memories flash by and Beau solves the mystery, will they find their happily ever after - or will they be separated for good?
