Some quick Pern AU fic. Devin, his dragon, their love of children.

~~

Werlanth’s wants to know where we are, I’ve told him it’s not his business. D’vin blinked.

“One moment,” he requested from the children gathered in front of him- the ones old enough to be ‘too cool’ or ‘mature’ to mob Fireth- raising a hang for their quiet. Dearest.

You know Werlanth’s. He’d whine at us about not being productive with our off time, which I’d have to relay to you, and that would annoy Werlanth which I also have to put up with. Not happening. We are staying here, peacefully, with the holdbrats.

He couldn’t truly blame him, he supposed. K’cyr was a various serious man who held tight to tradition, a personality that clashed horribly with D’vin’s own, and their dragons often got caught in the middle. Especially on days like this, when they went off to visit the children and lovers D’vin had scattered across Pern. Though he loved his own children and spoke of them often, their wingleader maintained the emotional distance common among riders. There were only so many hours in a day, especially now with the next Pass closing in, and children needed a lot of work, a lot of attention, that one didn’t necessarily have to spare if they wanted to maintain their own safety and the safety of Pern.

He and Fireth had long ago decided they were there to love not live, and so bent their schedule into knots and damn near mastered Timing It to spend time with loved ones as often as possible.

It was the cause of many an argument.

Don’t let Idoya hear you call them that.

They love it.

She won’t. Amusement came through from Fireth’s end of their bond.

Your taste in mates, Mine… D’vin smirked, ignoring the way the children snickered, and sent back images of Fireth’s favorite greens. He got no immediate response from the blue, but turned in time to watch him drop a wing over a laughing handful of children, including their Kalya, and snap his teeth in the vicinity of their Menya. Her laugh was audible even from partway across the field as she leaned forward to fearlessly drape herself over his snout. Fireth couldn’t manage to hide the fondness in his response. Remember, I have your daughters.

I have more. He couldn’t help a laugh of his own as Fireth gave the mental equivalent of a swat upside the head and turned his focus back on the cothold’s children. In his chest he felt a yearning to be over there joining in, but he shook it off. Once they and Fireth had worn themselves out and they’d gotten their afternoon nap in, all their friends had been called in by their own families, he would have the whole rest of the day to focus on them alone. For now, let them be caught up in the excitement of their fellows. If nothing else, all this would help ensure nobody got especially jealous of them.

“Alright,” he said with a shake of his head as he turned back to the older children, making a mental note to go to the older get he had at Fort his next restday, “now, where was I?”

“You’d made a bet with the brownrider-”

“-about which pair could catch the bigger fish, yes, now I remember!” Flashing a grin, D’vin slipped back into his best ‘I could’ve been a Harper’ mode. “It’s already dark out, but with our wingleader trailing behind us we immediately joined our dragons and headed out for Nerat- you’ll find some of your best fishing on Nerat’s coast. Oh, he and Neseth were so smug as we came in to land-”

Shelly Simonds, Who Lost Random Draw in 2017 Race, Wins Handily in Virginia

[ad_1]

To many, it was a cautionary tale on why every vote counts. At one point, Ms. Simonds seemed to have won by one vote after a recount, but the victory lasted just one day before a three-judge recount court added a vote for Mr. Yancey, putting them at a tie again.

The election was settled when each candidate’s name…

Winter Olympics 2018 - Olympic Athletes from Russia handily beat United States in men's hockey prelim

Winter Olympics 2018 - Olympic Athletes from Russia handily beat United States in men's hockey prelim

GANGNEUNG, South Korea — They came in wearing USA hockey jerseys and cowboy hats and, over in one corner, a full Superman outfit. One man had a cap that was in the shape of a bald eagle and there was a plethora of NHL sweaters: New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, the Minnesota Wild and the Vancouver Canucks (presumably, that fan was lost). The chants of “U-S-A” were long and loud and constant.

On the other side, there were Russia jerseys, Soviet jerseys and at least one sweater from a team in the Kontinental Hockey League. Two women had gray “Olympic Athlete from Russia” jackets, a group unfurled an “Olympic Fans of Russia” banner and a graybeard wrapped himself in the hammer-and-sickle flag. One taller gentleman wore a trucker’s hat that said, “RUSSIA IS ALL U NEED.” “RUSS-EE-UH, RUSS-EE-UH,” they all shouted, over and over and over.

Jim Johannson’s message was universal: “It’s great to make this call today.” With the sudden death of the USA Hockey exec still on their minds, U.S. men’s players remember when “JJ” reached out to tell them they were going to Pyeongchang.

So, absolutely, the fans were as expected on Saturday. Brash. Chippy. Frantic. It was Team USA against Russia, and, in the stands, it felt like it.

On the ice? Less so. And not just because (the Olympic Athletes from) Russia ripped through the Americans for much of the night, outskating, outworking and, ultimately, outscoring them handily, 4-0, in the final Winter Games group-stage game for both teams.

No, this was something else. This wasn’t your father’s USA-Russia game (a bunch of plucky upstarts against the Soviet dynasty) and it wasn’t even your older brother’s USA-Russia clash, which had craftsmen like T.J. Oshie beating Sergei Bobrovsky four times in the 2014 Sochi Olympics shootout that was as captivating as it was dramatic.

This game — and this entire Olympic men’s hockey tournament, unfortunately — has the feel of something in-between, a competition stuck in the morass between a full-blooded international spectacle of talent and a celebration of youthful stars-to-come.

That is the result, of course, of the NHL’s decision to keep its players home from the Olympics this time around, a choice that has robbed the Games of a showpiece event and left many teams, particularly the American one, without an identity (the sporting kind, not the let’s-beat-Russia kind).

The U.S. team isn’t a band of college kids and it isn’t a squad of pros. Instead, it’s a mish-mash of journeymen, minor-leaguers, ex-NHL players and a handful of soon-to-be pros. If that doesn’t sound like a particularly intimidating blend, that’s because it really isn’t.

Russia’s team similarly is missing its top NHL players, yet the gap in talent was stark all the same. Could the Russians have been crisper? For sure. But they still dominated the flow of the game, controlling the tempo throughout and reveling in it.

“They still show highlights of Oshie [in Russia],” OAR forward and former NHL star Ilya Kovalchuk said afterward. “Hopefully we can change that.”

They just might. Certainly, the Americans weren’t fast enough to keep up Saturday, and even when the Russians were playing a man down, they could forecheck and pressure the puck, then catch up to the play easily as the U.S. moved up ice. They were never hurried, never stressed.

Nikolai Prokhorkin scored two goals and was all over the ice, scrapping and shoving and battling with anyone in a white jersey nearby. When he and Chris Bourque were sent to the box for roughing after a particularly heated scrap in front of the net, the Russians fans roared and Prokhorkin had a bigger grin than after his second goal.

Prokhorkin did his biggest damage early, opening the scoring by finishing off a beautiful pass-pass-shoot sequence about 7 minutes into the game, then adding another early in the second period. The Russians were in full control at that point, but sealed up the game by scoring two goals within 28.2 seconds: first, Kovalchuk ripped a slapshot past Ryan Zapolski with 0.2 seconds left in the second period — a crushing end to a period in which the Americans didn’t play badly — before finishing a breakaway just moments into the final period.

How did Kovalchuk get free? Two Americans ran into each other. “They were very opportunistic,” U.S. coach Tony Granato said, which was a kind way of putting it.

The Americans were not. They could say they were unlucky once — Ryan Donato had a shot hit the crossbar — but were otherwise wasteful. Brian Gionta beat the Russian goalkeeper with a deke but lost control of the puck. Broc Little missed a great opportunity in front of goal. The Americans outshot the Russians 29-26, but weren’t close in quality chances.

By the final seconds, Russian fans were dancing and Granato was fuming about the Russians keeping their best players on the ice near the end. Even the American spectators had little choice but to settle down. Their team — this strange mix of a team — had been soundly beaten.

“There was a lot of energy — it was fun to be a part of,” Gionta said. “But then, obviously, it was disappointing once the game started.”

Select Semiconductor Stocks Recovering Handily After the Sell-Off

24/7 Wall St. has tracked the selling and buying of many stocks and sectors during the recent market panic. Much of the trading action can be tied to volatility issues, with the tail wagging the dog. That would imply that the great economic and underlying bull market fundamentals have not changed substantially from last week. One encouraging issue to consider now is that many stocks have rallied…
