Character/Pairing: Christopher gen; Christopher/Millie
Rating: G

He'd stood in the office and listened as DeWitt had grumped on about a retirement in the country, a modest living, his years of service, but he hadn't really been listening.

Responsibilities (Hercules gen)

Title: Responsibilities
Day/Theme: Oct 25 // the weight of the world
Series: Disney's Hercules
Character/Pairing: Hercules/Megara; mostly gen
Rating: G

Author's Note: I hate to write this fic set where it is, since Hercules does several of his Labors in the middle of the film (Phil mentions some of them in the scene before Herc and Meg's date). But according to some sources I've been reading, the Hercules timeline is way off, anyway, so I decided to just go for it. Based on the legend of Hercules and Atlas.

Excerpt: It had seemed quite simple, at first. And he was the strongest man alive. Why not hold up the world for a little while in order to get this job done?
