All of this for my head? Or did you simply want the hat? - drekadiar's blog

Ever have a song become so closely associated with something--an event, a place, a person, a thing--that whenever you hear that song that thing comes to mind? Well, I happened to get my hands on Sleepthief's first album The Dawnseeker at the same time I discovered the Cassandra Palmer series by Karen Chance. Since the two are now inextricably linked in my mind, I thought, why not write a series of glorified songfics combining the two? And so the Dawnseeker Sequence was born.

Here is a "track listing" of the sequence. Links to the fics will be added as they are completed.

1. Eurydice

2. Desire of Ages

3. You Did a Good Thing

4. Just Say It

5. The Chauffeur

6. Tenuous

7. Sublunar

8. Nightjar

9. Fire From Heaven

10. Here I Confess/replacement track

11. Kiss to Savor
After having its-not-sex-its-an-emergency with Pritkin, Cassie is having trouble controlling her libido around him. Is it just a result of her pent up feelings toward him, or is something else going on? Lots of smut!

12. Skimming Stones/replacement track

13. Entre Ciel et Mer

14. Labyrinthine Heart/bonus track

15. A Kind of Magic/bonus track

16. Ariadne (The Dividing Sea)/bonus track

17. Send Me an Angel/bonus track

I'm taking part in the Story Lottery community's challenge. Here's the table:

01.	#03 - a flash of lightning	02.	#04 - a soap bubble	03.	#12 - a sunset
04.	#18 - the full moon	05.	#22 - a second	06.	#27 - fire
07. BONUS PROMPT! #24 - a rainbow

If you're not familiar with Story Lottery, the mods create a table of numbered prompts and then randomly pick seven numbers. Us writers then use the prompts that correspond to those numbers.

Spoilers: Dead Beat, Blood Rites (small), Soul Beneficiary (tiny)
