SilverBelle's Stories

This drabble is from a prompt by penguingirl03, "James losing his sucker bet to Cindy."  This would take place in the future of my legacy, so it can be considered a spoiler.  Enjoy!

( DONE! )

Last but not least, we’ll check out the main Bradford house, and I can show you what went on there that didn’t make it into the chapter.

( 60+ pics behind the cut. )

For the past two years, I've had a chapter to post on Thanksgiving. This year, I don't (I can write fast but not a chapter in two weeks). Instead, I have a photoshoot for you. Let's see what Thanksgiving would be like if the current crop of Bradfords were around today.

From me and my legacy family:

If you're American, have the happist of Thanksgivings. If you're not, take a moment and be thankful for all the blessings in your life.

( Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. )

Name: Worries
Characters: Cindy, James
Rating: Everyone
Summary:  Cindy worries about the fallout from the stock market crash.
Notes: Canon.  Will take place in the next chapter, so it is a spoiler.

(Posted early because of the very real possibility of me not having power/internet later. Stupid fall snowstorm).

This photo shoot came about because of my desire to play around with some of the supernaturals that I don’t get to use on a regular basis because of the nature of my legacy. So, in honor of All Hallows Eve, please enjoy the mythicals and monsters I’ve created. Cookies if you can guess who’s who.

( 'Tis now the very witching time of night... )


From myself and the Bradfords, have a Happy Halloween!

Name: Redecorating
Characters: James, Jefferson, Cindy, Marsha

( "I don't get it, Papa." )

Name: Not the Intention
Characters: James, Cindy, Marsha, Jefferson
Rating: PG for discussion of violence, and because James and Cindy can’t keep their hands off each other.
Summary:  The family copes with some of the unintended effects of Prohibition.
Notes: Canon.  This will be appearing in the next chapter in some form, so it is a spoiler.  I have not yet played the house, so I don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl yet.

( "James, what's wrong?" )

Name: Shenanigans
Characters: Cindy, James
Rating: PG-13.  Only slightly racy.
Summary:  James and Cindy get a little distracted….
Notes: Canon.  Takes place during Chapter 22, the day of Taddy and Calla’s wedding.  The title is crap, but I couldn’t think of a better one.
Word Count: 704

I know that I can be long-winded.  But this is getting ridiculous.  I'm up to 160 slides, and I still have 5, possibly 6 scenes left.  2 of those scenes will add 13 more slides to it.  The other 3 definite scenes (2 weddings and a departure for college) I should be able to deal with in fairly short order (unless Melanie decides to try and reconcile with the Bradfords at Viola and Sterling's wedding - she has a tendency to do what she wants despite my best efforts).

I might break this chapter up into two parts, if it get much longer.  Who knows?  It WILL be up before the end of the week.  Two the scenes are actually written, the other three are drafted out, and the wild card scene will depend on something related to gameplay.  But I might push it off to the next chapter if things keep going they way they are.

And as a reward for my listening to my ramblings, have another teaser pic.  This pic actually isn't going to make the cut for the chapter, but I loved it anyway.


You cannot tell me that James has only 1 nice point when it comes to Cindy.  He adores her.
