Prompt: My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed -- my dearest pleasure when free. -- Mary Shelley (1797-1851), English novelist, short story writer, playwright,author of travelogues, biographer, translator, author of children's books, poet, editor and political reformer.

Author’s Notes: I really wasn't sure who to write about with this quote, as it could work with any of the characters I've played with over the years. And then ct mentioned Elphaba, and I was off and running. I love exploring Elphaba and her life, so this worked out perfectly. It may not have worked with the prompt to the letter, but Elphaba has always danced to the beat of her own drum.

Dedication: My muses, as always…

Beta: Many thanks to shatterpath for the quick and dirty beta, despite never getting more than partway through the first novel in the series. Any and all mistakes still left are completely my fault…

Prompt: I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.--Bette Davis (1908-1989), Academy-Award-winning American actress, author, co-founder and president of the Hollywood Canteen, a WWII club offering free food, drink and entertainment to men and women in all branches of the armed forces and to service people of all allied countries, and first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Author’s Notes: The minute I got my prompt, I knew I’d be writing for Lwaxana Troi. The prompt just screamed her name for me. Which is utterly awesome, because I simply don’t write enough for her. That I inserted the Bev/Deanna relationship is just kind of a given, to be honest. Truth be told, this plot was NOT my first plot. I’d started another story a while back, but that idea just wasn’t gelling for me. So, after struggling for a long time with that other plot [which will get used at some point down the line], this idea just gelled in and of itself. This was partially because of listening to Pink’s “Ave Mary-A” while on a long plane trip, but moreso because of listening to the A Perfect View CD by Bound For Severance, particularly the track “Burial of the Saints”. At that point the story just became a frantic pounding of keys for me to get it out. The tanka that opens the story was also written by me, as it’s a favorite poem form of mine, but is supposed to be attributed to Mr. Homn within the story’s context.

All text in ~italics~ denotes telepathic speech.

Timeline Notes: The basics of Deanna and Lwaxana’s storylines and backgrounds from the series stands, tho’ this story does combine information from the various novels and comic books, as well. The differences are that Deanna and Beverly got married in 2370 and had their daughter, Kestra Felisa Howard Troi, two years later in 2372. A year after this, Lwaxana’s son was born. All of the Lwaxana background information, including the name Barin for her son, comes from here and here.

Dedication: My muses, for always giving me something to test my boundaries…

Beta: shatterpath, as usual
