While local officials were willing to let developers culvert and fill the streambed to create a level building site, Cutler proved that an environmental alternative could be not only achievable but also spectacular.

Mermay aka thinking of little mermaid Steve who loves to lie in the sun till his long hair is dry and feel the wind blow through it, wishing he could run through fields and forests, watching the humans Make Things. When he feels brave, he swims close to a small fishing town at night and watches as the lights flicker in windows and laughter and music spills from houses he can only imagine what they look inside.

He rarely gets close during the day to avoid the fishermen spotting his shiny scales. One of them in particular, who he knows is his own age. He remembers the man, has watched him grow up as Steve's tail grew longer as well, always keeping track of what was once a little boy he saved from drowning. 'Billy' the others call him. He's already spotted Steve once, when he wasn't careful enough! His entire face lit up, a childlike wonder that made Steve's stomach do little somersaults in his belly.

But no matter how much he wants to talk to Billy, learn all about the jokes he tells the other fishermen, the evenings he spends at the tavern, the few times Steve has spotted Billy walking by the shore, bare feet in the water and curls wild around his head... He can't. He has to keep his and his kind's existence a secret.

Until one day, he hears whispers among the sirens. That a sea witch has set up shop in the crevasse far out at sea. That she offers potions and spells that can fulfill any wish you could think of. For the right price.

And sure, Steve owns pearls and jewels, shiny trinkets and stones he could offer in exchange for time spent on land. But he knows that's not an equivalent payment for his wish. So he brings nothing but himself when he sets out for the journey into the depths. He follows a trail of eerily glowing glass bulbs, to the stall of a being shrouded in flowing algae and whispy fabric. The sea witch has no hands, no face, it offers no assurances or comfort. Only a green pearl, swirling with the shades of a tree canopy where the sun shines through the leaves, set on a seashell saucer.

Silently, Steve accepts the offer. He knows the price he has to pay before he even takes the pearl and carries it up, up, up, to the surface and a rocky beach near the town. He holds the pearl to the light and delights in how it catches and refracts the sun onto his face.

Then he swallows it.

On a hike to his favorite reading spot by the shore, where the trees hang over the cliffs and you can catch a hint of the rose hip blossoms on the breeze, Billy Hargrove finds a beautiful man with no clothes and no memory. But when the man smiles at him, he knows. Somehow he knows that they have met before.

It is such a gloomy day today it was hard to get motivated to get out the door for my long run. I am glad I did though. There was a race on in the forest but I managed to keep out of their way. The signs said it was cyclecross I was thinking it must be something like rallycross. Sounds like fun. Anywho I carried on my merry way and ran through the forest to the beach and home again amazingly without getting rained on.

reached the point of writer's block where I sit down at midnight and rewrite the harry potter gender bend crossover with avengers, sherlock and possibly supernatural (but I can't remember) I published on fanfiction.net when I was 12 but it also makes absolutely no sense so I'm simultaneously trying to rationalise what I originally wrote while trying to figure out how to write and also what lines my harry potter said where actually twenty one pilots lyrics

would like to be able to live life without any physical or mental labor

just run through the forest and eat berries and tree bark, sometimes falling into ditches and streams

and then be eaten by wolves

At first he worried that Cas was uncomfortable, but he jumped when he spoke in Jacob's mind and blinked. "Whoa. You could do that?" He continued to squish his paw beans, beaming widely. "I'm sorry, this is -- this is so cute."

Finding wedding venues is hard as hell what do you mean the parking lot is right next to where you say "I do" why do I need 200+ people to even consider us what do you mean the cocktail menu has more choices than the actual dinner menu?!
