Refugee - My Photo Prompt Challenge Post

This was the photo prompt I used for this week's Photo Prompt Challenge post.  It's short, but would love to hear what you think.

Refugee

We move in huddled synchronization, our rhythm is slow and reverent. It has taken us years to get where we are, and it doesn’t matter that we’re hiding out in a basement, as we lie on a dingy mattress. What does matter, is that after spending almost five years apart, separated by continents and political strife, we are now together. Our love has always burned hot, like the extreme heat found in a the deepest blue of a flame. We’ve always worked together, but my family fled and made it out of the country before the change in regime, while you were forced to stay and endure the poverty and depravity that followed.

It has taken me years to figure out a way to get you out, but when I did, I sprang into action. And now you’re here beside me, on the last leg of our journey before going home.

Together.

Until next time,

A present for myself

Happy Birthday to me.
Okay, so I still have over a month until I hit middle age, but I got a tattoo in honor of the momentous upcoming event.
Wanna see it?

Bird tattoo

Love it.  Love its meaning.  Next one won't be for another 10 years when I turn 50 - so I have some time to plan.

Now to think of some things to commemorate my emergence onto the other side of the age mountain.  You know the saying, it's all downhill from here?  Well I plan on enjoying every minute of that wild ass ride.

Have some ink - show it off.  Would love to see it in the comments or link me to a pic.
Also - if you have a suggestion on something I should add to my list of 40 things to accomplish during my 40th year, let me know!

Until next time,

Fourth Time's a Charm - Pop the Question Entry - Now Posted

by EddieBell69

I posted my Pop the Question entry on my profile just yesterday.  

I didn't win anything, but the story is one of my all time favorites I've ever written.

If you are looking for a little fluff, a little angst and a lot of proposals, check out my entry.

Thanks & have a wonderful weekend!

Celestial Countenance - New Full Length Fic

Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you all know that I just started posting my Twilight 25 Round 6 Fic today.

Beautiful Banner by VBFB1

You can find it here: Celestial Countenance
Summary: Sometimes when your life is all going downhill, the only place left to go is up. What if that place isn't exactly where Bella thinks? Perhaps, a more heavenly destination instead? A story about life, love and redemption.

I hope to post every Tuesday and Thursday through the month of April and then more regularly as the deadline approaches at the end of May.

I already have the first 8 chapters written, so hopefully I can keep my pace up.  

Also - any of my Behind the Velvet Rope readers - chapter 7 is with my beta.  Hope to have that posted by early next week at the latest.

Thanks!
