The Sweetest Sounds
I'm Not That Girl (Angst)

Heroes and Thieves (AU)
At first Crown Prince Digory only sees his lovely betrothed, her dark hair, green eyes, teasing manner; later he notes her sharp words and coarse hands, oddly recalling so little of his letters, and his joy dampens; he meets the goose girl, gaze sad, smile kind, nobleness peeking through her curtsey and attitude despite her shabby attire – with each new encounter Digory grows more intrigued, wondering…; then he catches her reading a letter, and he recognizes his handwriting before she swiftly hides it away.
This Isn't My Idea (Crack)

Dive (Humor)
The two children leap into the pool, and when Polly opens her eyes she blinks twice, rubs her eyes, and blinks again; two pairs of Polly and Digory gawk back at her; "Wrong pool!" Digory hisses frantically beside her.
You Raise Me Up (Hurt/Comfort)
There is no lengthening out of time, no apple to give this time…; seated at his mother's bedside holding her hand, Digory sighs shakily, feeling so alone; a gentle hand touches his shoulder and instantly his free hand reaches up to cover it; you are not alone, my child.
Start of Something New (Smut)

Two is Better Than One (UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension))
