Title: Catch Me
Rating: PG-15; rated for adult concepts


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Fluff/Romance
Characters: Magda Searus/Wizard Merrit (bookverse characters)
Timeline/Spoilers: About 3,000 years before series

Prompt: Tease
Word Count: 697

Author's Notes: Again, I took bookverse characters and transplanted them into the world of the series. But, to be honest the only real things that I "know" about Merrit and Magda are that they were married and are the predecessors of Richard and Kahlan, in that she could not Confess him for the same reasons Kahlan doesn't Confess Richard. Again, the names of things (like sumisa'ai bushes and Merrit's spells) are my own nonsense words.

( Catch me if you can... )

Title: There Will Be Blood
Rating: PG-15; rated for violence


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Magda Searus (Bookverse character)
Timeline/Spoilers: About 3,000 years before the series

Prompt: Blood
Word Count: 631

Author's Notes: Magda is the first Confessor according to the novels, the series doesn't name one (that I know of) so I simply put Magda in the world of the series. And now, since Magda was the first, she must have experienced the first Con Dar...

Title: In This, the Year of Our Creator...
Rating: PG; rated for concepts; language


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Original Characters
Timeline/Spoilers: Year 357 BCB

Prompt: Lessons
Word Count: 1033

Author's Notes: So okay, this one... First, the characters, except for Magda and Merrit of course, are original (and those two are only mentioned not used) Second, in the world of the series, who knows what funerary practices the Confessors might have practiced back in the day. *shrug* Third, the "chain of office" is something from me too (and you'll see it pop up in other stories) Finally the epitaphs:

Here lies one whose name was writ in water is for John Keats

I adapted: So the lively force of her mind has broken down all barriers, and she has passed far beyond the limited hold of human existence; Forever now, in mind and spirit... She traverses the boundless universe for Sharon Grant-Henry (which was itself adapted from Lucretius)

(The others are mine)

( Now if you weren't completely bored by all those notes *grin* )

Title: And All We do... it is for Our Sons
Rating: PG; rated for general concepts; language


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Angst/Tragedy
Characters: Original Characters
Timeline/Spoilers: 697 BCB

Prompt: Outfit/White/Celebration
Word Count: 822

Author's Notes: So I need to explain a bit of the process here. I started with the prompt of outfit, thinking on the Mother Confessor's dress. Which of course, lead to me thinking about a white dress. Then I was probably watching way too much of "Say Yes to the Dress" (a show about brides finding their wedding gowns) so I thought about white dresses in that context. That brought me to weddings (celebrations) and then this... 'cause let's face it, can you imagine that many Mother Confessors had a real "wedding" celebration?


( Here comes the bride this ain't... )

Title: Into the Waters
Rating: R; rated for non-graphic infanticide


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Tragedy
Characters: Original Characters
Timeline/Spoilers: 1003 BCB
Warning: Non-graphic infanticide

Prompt: Water
Word Count: 577

Author's Notes: Again, the words and the rite are just what I imagine might be since the show was not specific in regards to it or how it had been practiced before.

( This one is just plain depressing )

Title: The White Queen Falls
Rating: PG rated for general concepts; language


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Tragedy
Characters: Original Character
Timeline/Spoilers: Sometime pre-series in the history of the Confessors

Prompt: White/Outfit/Negative Space
Word Count: 527

Author's Notes: Nope, no real notes I think for this one. *grin*

Title: Be Good to Your Daughters

Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Tragedy
Characters: Original Characters; mention of bookverse character
Timeline/Spoilers: Pre-series; historic confessors

Author's Notes: Nope, no notes I think.

Title: All on a Summer's Day
Rating: G

Title: You Picked Me
Rating: PG; rated for general concepts


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Romance
Characters: Original Characters
Timeline/Spoilers: Pre-series; historic Mother Confessors

Prompt: Song Title (You Picked Me - A Fine Frenzy)
Word Count: 663

Author's Notes: Nope, none really

( Even with Confession, maybe there's the possibility of love )

Title: It's a Promise
Rating: G


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Original Characters; mention of bookverse character
Timeline/Spoilers: Pre-series; historic Mother Confessors

Prompt: 5 Colors
Word Count: 782

Author's Notes: The definitions for love (via the Greeks) would not stand up to close scrutiny, I played fast and loose with 'em. They do mean roughly what I've written them meaning, but there are certainly stricter definitions.

Title: Catch Her in the Rye
Rating: PG; rated for some adult content


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Romance
Characters: Kieran/Viviane
Timeline/Spoilers: 1000 years before series (that's how old they said the legend was)/spoilers for "Revenant"

Prompt: Summer/Song Title (Comin' Thro' The Rye - Robert Burns)
Word Count: 529

Author's Notes: It's a fairly reasonable guess I think, to at least suppose that Viviane could have been a Mother Confessor. At the very least, it is never directly contradicted by the source material, so I beg your indulgence. *grin* Oh, and yes I'm one of those that thinks there's at least some doubt about the "fact" that Kieran was confessed.

Title: Haunted
Rating: PG; rated for general concepts


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Amfortas, Viviane

Author's Notes: Again, "spells" are just nonsense words that sounded good to me. *grin*

Title: Where is the Little Boy I Carried
Rating: PG-15; rated for violence and implied violence


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: Drama/Tragedy/Horror

Title: Paint Your Dreams
Rating: G


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Kahlan Amnell and her Mother (Mother's POV)
Timeline/Spoilers: Kahlan's five; essentially spoilers for "Bound"

Prompt: Nightmares
Word Count: 791

Author's Notes: Okay, so this one... I kind of did a weird ol' mix of book and series. From the book, I took that Kahlan's mum was the Mother Confessor. I also used the name Brophy for her stuffed animal, and I mention the Mud People. From the series, I use the fact that Kahlan's mum dies when she's five and that Fredrick is her father. This story basically takes place right at the time that Kahlan's mother is getting sick.

It does take place in the world of the series though. *grin*

( If only in my dreams... )

Title: In the Wayward Pine
Rating: G


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Kahlan Amnell, Dennee Amnell (Dennee's POV)
Timeline/Spoilers: Kahlan's about age 16/Spoilers for "Listener"

Prompt: Singing
Word Count: 607

Author's Notes: This one's inspired by hearing Brigid sing in the show actually. *grin* I also had this image of Kahlan and Dennee just being regular girls for a moment in my head so I wondered what that might mean for Confessors.

Oh, and the song Kahlan sings is just one I wrote for her. Here it is by itself

( He loves me, he loves me not... )

Author's Notes: Just a little warning about sugar-shock... yup, this one fluffier than the fluffiest sheep. *grin*

( Who knows how long I've loved you... )

Title: My Heart with You
Rating: PG; rated for mild language


Theme: Mother Confessors

Timeline/Spoilers: During "Dark" spoilers for that episode and the "Palace of the Prophets" arc

Prompt: Promise/Song Title (My Heart with You - The Rescues)
Word Count: 1087

Author's Notes: Don't think there's really any for this one... just that it's kind of melodramatic romance... not everyone's cup 'o' tea... *grin*

( Promise me this... )

Title: I am a Pilgrim on this Journey
Rating: NC-17; rated for sexual content(though it doesn't go as far as it might- rated so as to be safer than sorry)

Prompt: Landscape/Scenery/Map

Rating: G


Theme: Mother Confessors
Genre: General/Drama
Characters: Original Characters, mention of Canon characters
Timeline/Spoilers: After the series

Prompt: Song Title (Music Box - Mariah Carey)
Word Count: 513

Author's Notes: So this one takes place after the series, but it exists in the world that the series created and not that of the bookverse.
