Title: The Call of the Void
Author: rustydog

Rating/warnings: PG / Could be read as containing references to suicidal thoughts, though I don't think that's the only way to interpret l'appel du vide.

Title: Nutmeg
Author: rustydog
Characters: Gwen, Tosh
Rating: PG
Words: 1750
Beta: travels_in_time
Notes: No spoilers. Written as a costume for karaokegal's annual Come as You're Not party. Why it's a costume: I've never written f/f hurt/comfort and there are some elements in the story that are so self-indulgent that I would never have let myself write them if not for it being a costume. My challenge to myself was to "write something I would have loved when I was 12," so I guess I'm lucky no pegasus or elves showed up. :)

Summary: Gwen and Tosh have run out of time to save the world -- until they meet Holly and her friend.
