Hi all.
I've been feeling a little bit discouraged with the interaction with the second part of my Monsam series as compared to the first part (which I'm mature enough to admit that I know is contributing to my issues with motivation for working on the third part), so I figured I'd go ahead and post the series here as a consolidated list and see if anyone who hasn't already wants to check it out.
I'm pretty damn proud of myself about it, after all!

Series:
Working Title: The One Where Lady Sam Kidnaps Singha (With Permission) and Changes Everything
Parts:
1. The Ocean As Blue As the River Cried Last Night
4,100+ words, complete
Sam shook her head and looked seriously at Singha, who perked up from cleaning his chin from the water he'd messily lapped up. "I am going to let you off the leash, Singha." Firming her voice, she cocked her head at him, raising her eyebrows, "But you are not going to run away. I am your owner for today, and you will do what I say. Hm?" Waiting for some kind of answer, and choosing the twitch of his ears at her as one, she made the OK sign at him before unlatching the leash from his collar.
Instead of staying at Mon's house to wait for her in the first part of Ep 9, Sam agrees to take Singha for the rest of the day like Teacher Pohn suggested. He ends up being the stimulus needed to start bringing Sam and Mon back together again.
2. The Villa As Empty As the Childhood Home Last Night
10,200+ words, complete
"Singha, you're supposed to stay in the towel," Sam said firmly, leaning forward to tug at the crumpled cloth under his paws in an attempt at pulling it up and back over his head. When he only clumsily stumbled in her way, nosing excitedly at her hand as if he thought it was a game, Sam sighed and sat back up.
Sequel to The Ocean As Blue As the River Cried Last Night. Now that Sam and Mon have agreed to talk the next day via a video and a replied text, both are left still trying to come to terms with their fight's aftermath. Mon has her parents to lean on, even if she's not telling them everything, but Sam only has Singha and... Jim?

12 Years Apart Doesn't Make It Easier

This is my collection of GAP the Series drabbles and short stories/one-shots that I write, ones that wouldn't work posted on their own. They are varying lengths, and not related unless noted to be.
All are most definitely Monsam/Sammon.

I ALMOST named this "Filling in the... Heh", but, sadly, managed to restrain myself.
