Rating: PG
Pairing: Grif x Simmons
Warnings: Mild Language

Summary: … Grif & Simmons. A Cat. and Donut.
(I can’t say much more without giving too much away.)

Special thanks go to miss_poppet, who has offered up her services and does a wonderful job as the Beta of the series!

Author’s Notes: This came about during the writing of the Cats Drabble that precedes it. I’d originaly brainstormed the cat as a silly little enemy for Grif, that no one would ever support him in disliking. I showed the Drabble to a certain fundamentalist Christian Sounding board who, for some reason, tolerates my throwing slash-related stories at him on the condition that I censor things a bit. The Cats Drabble was perfect for it, a fun way for me to share the universe in a situation where I didn’t have to be the least bit careful about what parts of the story I sent his way. MiniJOLNIR sprang from his mind unbidden, and the rest is history. Crueler became an immediate and permanent member of the cast (rather than an experimental potential bit part) for nothing less than my own amusement.

Author’s Notes: I work in a retail store. I get bored. Sometimes, an image gets stuck in my head. This is one of those images.

Rating: PG
Pairing: Grif x Simmons
Warnings: Mild Language

Summary: Grif reviews debriefing documents immediately after he and Simmons return to Blood Gulch.

Author’s Notes: I wrote for the soul purpose of getting to use the final line. *snicker* And since I felt like releasing something else while I’m fiddling around doing nothing tonight. After spending forever between the Social Security Administration Office and the Department of Transportation… I need to do something fun 🙂

Pairing: Grif x Simmons
Warnings: Fluff?

Summary: Simmons looks to resolve something that’s annoyed him in the past.

Author’s Notes: vadadaca recently made a Post that mentioned Four Seasons in such a warm and fuzzy way that I couldn’t help but cave and post one of the various drabbles I’ve been writing early! They’re set between Eternal Summer, but before Autumn Colors begins…

I AM willing to take prompts that are as detailed or as vauge as you’d like, though I don’t swear to take everything, just what inspires me.

Title: Eternal Summer
Chapter: 11 – Something Resembling An Ending
Rating: PG
Pairing: Grif x Simmons
Warnings: Swearing

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: Good lord, has the ride been fun… Maybe a bit bumpy until Miss Poppet signed on to consult… But enjoyable beyond what I expected. And considering I wasn’t expecting much feedback and people wise for an AU as weird as mine… *snicker* I’d just like everyone who’s been reading to know I’ve appreciated every moment… Which is part of why I worked in my free time to get a chapter out before the wedding (well… I needed a distraction that would let me unwind, too).

I AM currently collecting prompts that might be used to create drabbles. If you’d like to give one, feel free to be as vague or detailed as you want. I may or may not use them. They can be set Before, during or after Eternal Summer… But in accordance with the fact that the sequel, Autumn Colors, will be showing up in the next few months I’ll be avoiding things that would having me writing beyond where that is set to start.

Anyways, ENJOY!

Chapter: 10 – The Value of Blood Gulch
Rating: PG
Pairing: None Yet (Eventual Grif x Simmons)
Warnings: Swearing

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: I’d like to start with a special thanks to all of those who gave condolences following Chip’s passing. It’s been hard for me, but every day gets better. and I may have cheated the healing process along, by purchasing Chip’s half-brother, Teddy. Who’s currently 10 Weeks old and growing fast. Teddy is… Well.. Not Chip but very much himself and a constant reminder to me that even in the hardest times life goes on. Additionaly, as of July 5th, my Fiance will become my Husband. I’ve been having a heck of a time finding time to write, and keep forgetting to make the time to post chapter 10…

As for the next chapter… Theoreticaly (or at least, according to the current outline) it will be the final chapter of this Eternal Summer. Though don’t discount the possibility of a sequal. This AU seems to have a mind of it’s own. Something resembling an ending should show up in July.

Chapter: 9 – Bad, Grif. BAD!
Rating: PG
Pairing: None Yet (Eventual Grif x Simmons)
Warnings: Swearing

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: My muse disliked this chapter, and rendered it a horrible challenge to complete. Hopefully there won’t be another month’s lag while I work on Chapter 10…

In chapter 8 I mentioned in the comments that my puppy was sick… and those of you who follow my personal journal would already know of his Fate… My darling boy and furry shadow was euthanized on April 11th as a result of uncontrollable seizures. I miss him horribly, but the potential causes were all dire and fatal. Sometimes life leaves you with little but a choice between which evil you would rather have… For me it was living without one of my best friends so he wouldn’t have to suffer any longer.

Chapter: 8 – Questions Without Answers
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None Yet (Eventual Grif x Simmons)
Warnings: Swearing, Violence

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: Bet y’all thought I died, eh? Nop. Nothing like that… Just a little injury that involved pulling every muscle in my back. Since everything was so buiried by the time I got around to reading comments 😉 I’ll be doing a few responses from the perivious chapter here. I noramaly get alot of enjoyment out of the back and forth with the readers that I just didn’t get on chapter 7.

catc10: “I like crazywolflike!Grif.”
Honestly… I have this thing for growling… It rivals my thing for Cyborgs. I get both in this story. It’s nice.

tttroy: “i still can’t imagine cat monster with tentacles”
I acctually hijacked the looks of the Displacer Beast of D&D Fame. So I have a visual for you!

queenoflitrp: “T_T Mean lady. And here I thought SHE would be the voice of reason! But race barriers don’t break down that quickly.”
When I original sat down to write her… she was intended as the voice of reason… But those same race barriers kept interfeariing with the scene working with Nice!OldLady… As soon as I changed the angle of approch I was using with her, that moment suddenly fell into place. Those race barriers are acctually kinda hard to write… I don’t have alot of personal experinece with them…

A special thanks goes out to everyone else who took the time to comment. As much as I enjoy writing, the warm and fuzzy feeling of your support is always nice.

Chapter: 7 – No Use To Us
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None Yet (Eventual Grif x Simmons)
Warnings: Swearing, Violence

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: This actually ended up getting written far sooner than I thought it would, because my muse demanded it of me.
Thank you for all the kind words on the previous chapter. You’re all very inspiring and I appreciate the support.

Another one that has to be dedicated to someone… There’s a certain fundamentalist Christian who’s facing down major discomfort to give me feedback and thoughts and help me voice and organize thoughts on the world. He knows who he is and probably appreciates not being mentioned by name. Thanks buddy.

Chapter: 6 – By Popular Demand
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None Yet (Eventual Grif x Simmons)
Warnings: Swearing, Violence

Summary: Simmons isn’t the only one who’s not completely human.

Author’s Notes: Due to popular demand, I’ve accepted the challenge of livening up Grif’s fight 😉 I figure if every one of who commmented wanted the same thing, well.. I couldn’t argue. So, consider the opening scene your collective doing. I hope you appreciate it.

I feel like it’s only fair that I dedicate this chapter to tttroy, who’s so sweet and yet I decided sow doubt all around her. I hope this chapter makes you happy. You deserve the answers this one provides. 😉 I can be a dick sometimes. I’m sorry. I think I might have made up for it, though. Heh.
