Blanket disclaimer: Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman own the copyrights to the Death Gate books and such, and makes (vast amounts) of money from it. I am not either of them. This is true for ever chapter, so for every single drabble.

Summary: A set of eight drabbles inspired by a drabble challenge themed 'A shower with any het couple' for an anime series, but I cheated by switching fandoms and adding some femmeslash. 120 words each. All kinds of genres, pairings and ratings.

Author's Note: These drabbles were inspired by what I presume was at one time (I only found out from heard tell) a Blissful Ignorance challenge; 'A shower with any het couple, no more than 120 words'. Now, Blissful Ignorance (dot com) is a site dedicated to Gundam Wing, an anime, and strictly hetero oriented. But, I'm a cheat. Everyone knows that. So I stole the challenge and ran off with it, and the results are as shown below. My 'theft' created some problems, however, as the worlds created in the Sundering aren't known for their modern bathrooms. As a result, I have not only broke the 'het' rule to include femmeslash, but also, the 'shower' concept has been stretched to include baths, bathrooms, waterfalls, rain, tears and figurative showering. Have fun! And review please! The drabbles are just that - drabbles, but I simply adore getting reviews!

Prologue

"This is an outrage, Samah!" Zifnab shouted. His guards paid him no heed and continued their ceremonial last treck toward the Vortex, with the rebellious man between them. "A crime against human rights, masochistic, sadochistic torture, you hear me Samah!"

Unfortunately, he did. Quite well in fact, because he was walking right beside the convicted traitor. Samah was hard pressed not to roll his eyes. He suspected Zifnab had been hit in the head during the Sundering. Otherwise, he surely wouldn't make such a fuss about the lack of bathrooms for the banned Patryns.
