Each story is on target for the prompt. Lonely - I felt old Young dying, remembering and welcoming death because he knew TJ would be waiting for him. Excellent. Platonic is cute poetry style piece. I smiled with Lisa in the end. Peace - very nice. Ginn & Amanda coming together to find a way to join their men. Math - I can see Rush being nervous around Chloe from now on. Eli has a natural ability but Chloe's artificially enhanced skill probably frighten and make Rush envious of her. War took a couple of readings but I see now why Destiny went sluggish. Loss of a new friend-ship as it were. All very nicely done. Good show!

Wow, thank you so much! These were all written in one fell swoop - I'm still surprised how differently they turned out. I want to revisit the Destine/ Seed Ship relationship a couple more times, I really do think of Destiny as an intelligence. I suppose that's weird, but I find her fascinating. And of course the TJ/ Young one made me sniffle, too... such an epic love story!

When Destiny presented Gloria to Rush I had an inkling but after Franklin also showed up then I really suspected she was intelligent. Confirmation occurred with Trial & Error - Destiny manipulating Young's dreams, I had no doubt. I immediately suspected then that TJ's vision was Destiny protecting her from the dark side. I suspect Destiny was too caught up with Rush to recognize Young going over the edge until it was almost too late.

Yes, TJ & Young keep me going. They are such flawed, real characters I can't help but want to guide them where they need to go in my fics. Keep going Shena on either exploration. I'll read/view either type of depiction. :)

Thank you so much! I was my first time writing for either one, and their shared predicament is really fascinating. Sort of an "Enemy Mine" situation. I'm pretty sure I'll write more for them.

I love Lisa.
I love Dale.
I love Ronald.

What a great drabble, and in a form I haven't ever seen before.
Thank you!

There is something so sweet and innocent about those three, it's like a children's book romance. I thought of "See Spot Run", and then this thing happened. I'm so thrilled you liked it!
