Dresden Files: Life Support  
Title: Life Support
Characters: Murphy, Harry, Anna
Rating: PG
Prompt: Air
Spoilers: None.
Word count: 1699
Summary: Somethings don't need to be said.
Author's notes: Written for the 'air' challenge at [info]dresdenflashfic. It includes an OC from a story called Somnus that I wrote, but you don't need to have read that to understand this one. Thanks to my mum the nurse for helping me out with a bit of the medical stuff, even though I might have fudged a few things for the sake of storytelling. Harry/Murphy friendship and more if you want to read it that way.

Sometimes I wish I had her faith... )

Dresden Files: Times Like This  
Title: Times Like This
Characters: Murphy, baby!Anna
Rating: G
Spoilers: Second City
Word count: 1671
Summary: It's times like this a girl could use a dog.
Author's notes: Over at [info]dresdenflashfic, [info]featherjean once mentioned she thought Murphy would be a dog person, which gave me this idea. I wanted to use it for both the 'animals' and 'notes' challenges there, but it got pushed aside in favour of other ideas. So I wrote it for the amnesty challenge. A lot of presumptions on my part about Murphy's history and family life, based on the very little said on the series. Borrows a few things from the books as well but nothing that would spoil them. Also, it's, um, not a very happy fic. :-P

Thanks for always staying with me. )
