Sunshine Challenge - Day Seven - Zephyrus

[smallhobbit]

Day 7 of sunshine_challenge Zephyrus is the god of the west wind and apparently the bringer of the gentle winds of spring.

However, as a Brit, the west wind brings the rain, which for those in the west of England means directly from the Atlantic Ocean, and even having dropped some of that water over Ireland and Wales, there's normally plenty left for us.

It will come as no surprise that I have written a number of fics which feature rain:

Summer Murder in the Rain, which is a Lewis casefic

Watching the Rain a ficlet where Dr Watson is looking out of the window

Avoiding the Rain is another ficlet where a modern day Hamlet is trying to avoid his mother

Sun After Rain is John Thornton/Margaret Hale from BBC North & South set a few years after their marriage

Kissing in the Rain is Spooks, Lucas/Adam, the title says it all.

Ah, your list of links confirms that the rain is essential and deserves to be included in the title! Oddly enough, the description of the contents makes me curious about the second fic.:) Thank you so much for sharing what your west wind brought!

[smallhobbit]

Oh yes, we'd be lost without the rain!

Having many Brits in my life, I have heard about the rain a lot! My head then went straight to the classic Disney Little April Shower from Bambi, which is definitely a familiar part of Spring for many of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Thanks for sharing with us this year!

Thank you. I've enjoyed this year's challenge, and the chance to look at things slightly differently :)

Lovely fics, I enjoyed each and every one of them:)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. It's very kind of you to say so.
