'A Quarter For Your Shoe' (01/06)

Once upon a time, strangevisitor7 asked to borrow my character Charlotte Sparrow for a Mag 7 fic she was writing, and that was the beginning of the end for me. Her request sucked me hook line and sinker into the fandom since I was curious and bought the DVDs. This story came about due to puppy dog eyes from Casey, who really wanted a Christmas themed Ezra story, and a hefty dose of Ezra's dimples! They're hard to resist.

I think this story stands alone quite well, so you don't need to have read any of the previous stories. (If you do want to read them though, you can find them here.) The premise is that Charlotte was one of the relatives that Maude used to leave Ezra with, and he's adopted. I think that covers the important bits.

Characters: Ezra Standish, Maude Standish, Original Characters
Notes: PG, Magnificent Seven, many thanks to strangevisitor7 for the beta and the puppy eyes.
Summary: All Ezra wants for Christmas is his mother.

A Quarter For Your Shoe ~ Part One

Richmond, Virginia, December 1847

"Shall we go into town tomorrow and see about getting you a new suit for Christmas, Ezra?"

( Charlotte's young ward just shrugged, not even turning away from the front window that he'd been staring out of for the last half-hour. Soon, it would be too dark for him to see anything, though what he was watching for was his mother, she was certain. )

Ouch

My hips are killing me. As I said to my coworker, hips may not lie, but they sure as hell hurt!

Christmas At The Adobes

Nin and I did Christmas At The Adobes tonight. It's held every year in Old Monterey, and is a self guided Adobe tour. Many of the adobes are only open to the public during this event. I've been wanting to do it for years, and either would miss it before I remembered it or was out of town. Many of the homes date from the 1830s-1840s and were lived in well into the 1970s. Loved the signs on most of them warning that they were unreinforced and wouldn't survive an earthquake. Some of them had period music and dance, and hot drinks and cookies. Very excellent inspiration for the historical fics I've been writing!
