This story was written for my 2011 DCU Fic/Art Silver-‘N’-Gold Winter Holidays Challenge. Prompt: Silver ‘N’ Gold. ;) Also written for saavikam77’s 2011 DCU_Free_For_All Winter Holidays Challenge.

Hi, luvs! The day after Halloween is always a little sad, isn't it? The decorations look a little wilted and shabby in the light of day, and the frost is on the pumpkin. Literally here in the Northeast after that monster storm Saturday!

Challenge reminders: the 2011 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge is open 'til November 30th, so if you have something that you weren't quite able to post before the holiday, here's your chance! :)

I'm very pleased with the success of this Challenge! Thanks to all who participated! :)

Also, only two months left for the 2011 Wonder Woman Love Fic/Art 70th Anniversary Celebration Challenge. We've had some quality contributions but I'm a little disappointed that this year-long Challenge didn't generate more entries. But there's still time if you want to honor the Amazing Amazon!

Speaking of Challenges, I usually have one for the Winter Holidays up by now and November 1st as the start date but was so bizzy with Big Bangs and other projects that I never got to it. How about it? You guys interested in a BradyGirl_12-style Winter Holidays Challenge?

Author’s Notes: Happy Birthday, mithen! :) She requested: Pairing: Trinity. I wrote Clark/Bruce with Diana protecting their backs. ;) Prompt: I'd love to see something with the Trinity in battle, actually! I love the way you love h/c, so maybe one of them getting hurt (any of the three is fine, I can imagine fun angles with any of them) and the other two worrying about them and protecting them? That would be really sweet reading for me!
Also written for my 2011 Wonder Woman Love Fic/Art 70th Anniversary Celebration Challenge and for the worlds_finest 5th Birthday Celebration. Prompt: Superman is seriously (not mortally) injured in a battle. Batman is trying very hard not to freak out about it (and failing) (mithen). Banner Choice: No. 1, please! :)

( Wonder Woman drove the Green Knight back, fear rising. She used that rage to her advantage as a good Warrior would. )

Author’s Notes: This is the prequel to Jewels Of The Goddess I: Waiting For Rome. This has become a full-fledged series, as I’d like to explore the backstory of Steve’s arrival on Paradise Island and the evolution of his relationship with Diana, but also bring more of the Romans into this series. Who knows? Maybe some other DC characters will make an appearance. ;)
I also checked on Celtic names, and ‘Steve’ is on the list. Whether that counts for ancient times, I don’t know, but no one’s around to dispute it. ;)
The entire series can be found here.

( She loved this world of peace and beauty, a world where her mother and sisters trained for war but lived for peace. Here all was poetry and sculpture and dance, music and literature and pageantry. Here could be found Paradise. )
