Mine is Here. Thanks so much for this challenge! It feels good to write something again, and this was just the thing to snap my muse out of hibernation.

Well, I didn't forget. But the story fragment that was still sitting on my hard drive and needed just a little rewriting, turned out to be written in German. And translation is going rather slow these days.
But you weren't talking about other stories, now were you?

http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ubbthre...-response-ten-minutes-ago-1-1#Post288243Mine was "10 Minutes Ago" from R&H Cinderella. It was pretty much handed to me on a plate, since the lyrics boil down to "I met you and fell in love, and now we're flying!" Full lyrics are linked in the Fdk page.

Hmmm... The character that first leapt to my mind was Tempus. I would *love* to have him and Mxy interacting. I'll have to think on this... (Has anyone already written any fanfic with the two of them together? If so, I really want to read it.) What a wonderful prompt. --- Update: Here's the story I came up with. I would still love to read other people's takes on having these two characters interact.
