and companion piece http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/20/darkalleys.html

I've post two links because one is a companion piece to the other. A couple of short pieces I hadnt read before, but I was glad I did, although I do find myself wishing there was a third piece *g* But they work together well.

Being only short, it is hard to talk about it without giving away any spoilers, but she has written 'my boys' as I see them. There is a bit of banter, which I love, and a touch of angst in both stories and...well, I really liked it.

Oh gawd, you're gonna want to smack me - your first link comes back to the Challenge rec post rather than the story itself... *g*

But the first story is this one, right?

Oh bugger...best go and sort it. I am utterly useless arent I? I thought (obviously) it was the link to the story!!! LOLLOL

Me too - we'll gang up on Hambel sometime soon, right?

I like the similar structure of both, the part of (not) living dangerously, "he will, one day", the "honk of the horn" and "until the next time". They really should communicate instead of pining away. ;-)

These are nice, I liked the short sentence style and the "what if" lingering at the end of both pieces. If I had to describe them both with one word I'd say "hope".
