--Describe a recurring dream or nightmare your most recent POV character might have.

I'm late putting this up because I was at the dentist for emergency care for a cracked tooth! Augh... December has basically destroyed me this year, I'm behind on everything by at least a month, alas. Here's hoping things are going better for you!

I think Sami's recurring nightmare is... oh, all of the options are rather unpleasant. Rather than get TOO angsty, I'll say that most wrestlers specifically mention that they tend to have a recurring nightmare where they can hear their entrance music playing and are trying to lace their boots up and can't remember how to do it. (On the slightly angsty side, I think he may well have a recurring nightmare right now where he freezes in panic and doesn't save Kevin, and wakes up thrashing around and yelling to himself).

Oh man, I hope your cracked tooth emergency is completely over! That sounds terribly painful. I'm behind, as always, on getting older stories redone but I'm finally making progress. Still have some kinks to work out on two of them but once that's done I'll be good.

Hmm, the latest POV is Ale from my SF romance novel and, well. Her recurring nightmare is being raped and murdered due to how she grew up. It's not likely to go away anytime soon but at least Eka, her new finace is aware of it and is helping her feel safer. In part so that xe doesn't get stabbed when Ale wakes from a nightmare while they're cuddling. ;)

Seriously, good luck getting caught up and with the tooth!

It was weirdly UNpainful, actually! I got really lucky and acted fast, so the piece stayed in place and it was fairly simple to fix it. In fact, I ran into trouble because the temporary seal was so good the next dentist said there was no crack and wouldn't fix it and sent me home, where eventually it cracked again! But then he did fix it, thank goodness...

(The getting caught up obviously did not go as well!)

Cuddles turning to stabs is a real engagement-killer! :) I hope the writing of this went smoothly, it looks like it was really interesting...
