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. )

Original: Finding Santa  
Title: Finding Santa Claus
Rating: G
Word count: 2394
Summary: When Becca finds out her Christmas list never got mailed to Santa, her friend Mariah comes up with a plan to save the day.
Author's notes: I wrote this a few years ago for an online course I took through my highschool, called 'Writer's Craft'. We were supposed to write a short story (the only creative writing we really got to do) and it was around Christmas and this was what I came up with. It came to me as I was playing around in Poser, working with some children figures. My teacher pointed out that she didn't think parents would approve of a couple of the things in it (children going off with a stranger, speaking gramatically incorrect), but, truthfully, even though it's written in a children's story style, I never really intended it to be for one audience over another. Anyway, I've tweaked it a bit to improve it and I thought I'd post it, since 'tis the season.

Why aren't you merry? )

Book or TV verse: TV
Characters: Harry, Murphy, brief mention of Anna
Summary: Fun in the snow.
Author's Notes: [info]featherjean asked for 'Harry/Murphy, snow'. So, here it is. The idea is one that's been rolling around in my head since I had a few throwaway lines about it in Child's Play, and it seems an appropriate time to use it. Fluffy good shippyness abounds.

You're not a girl, Murphy. You're a cop. )
