Posts at day_by_drabble -- April Showers, Blue Skies

[shimotsuki]

I meant to do a round-up post of my entries at day_by_drabble for the April Showers Drabblethon, but, well, enough time went by that now there's been another drabblethon. ;) So here are all my drabbles (and ficlets) from the first two events.

This includes my first (and possibly only) attempt at Earthsea fic, which I'd always wanted to try...
