The Dark Beauty Saga

"Dark Beauty" is the name I've given to the characters of Sheila Stephens and K'avir Velimir.  Can't believe it's been almost ten years since I created them, back when I was writing Star Trek fanfic with Alliyah, Neets, Gerri and Noob on LiveJournal.

Ah, good times.

I will say that I am working on putting them in an original work of fiction, tentatively titled Blade Dancer, but the world building is colossal. In time, they will return in full novel form.  But for now, I have them right here for your enjoyment.

Sonic showers were convenient, especially when they were physically exhausted.  But nothing compared to the bliss of a hydroshower, except maybe sitting in a tub full of warm water brimming with fragrant bubbles.  Never let it be said that Sheila couldn’t make do with what she had.  She scratched K’avir’s scalp, eyes closed as the water beat against their bodies.  He was focused on bathing her, his lips by her ear and every now and then he whispered something, something that made her smile or go “Mmmmn” at random intervals.

“Do you like it?”

“I am unused to wearing such clothing.”

“It’s something I like.  I get tired of seeing you in that crusty old uniform.”

“I want to please you,” he said, taking her hands.  “I am not uncomfortable.”

Sheila beamed at him and led him to the table.  “I made bruschetta and roasted säskòû gòûlę tenderloin over orzo pasta.  The vegetables are extremely fresh, as is the meat.  I haven’t cooked in a very long time, but it’s not something you forget.  I want to please you too, baby.”

A/N:  I know I said I was done with K’avir and Sheila.  I truly believed that their saga was finished because it has to be.  But after a chat with a Sheila & K’avir superfan named Rashida, it occurred to me that the ending of “The Hunt” was somewhat lacking.

So I must wrap up the Dark Beauty series and put a big, beautiful bow on it.  To my mild surprise, it was actually very easy to do; which means it’s been stewing for quite some time.  And the muse, being who she is, laid out the following:
