Due South Flashfiction Community

For aerye and dsudis, who laughed when I broached it and who both had lousy yesterdays. (The shout-out to the Patsies is for superlibe, who will, I'm sure, forgive my forcing them to play a punk club in Chicago before they were actually born.) The lovely lynnmonster beat me about the head and shoulders with her talented Wand of Betaness (not quite as dirty as it sounds, more’s the pity). One or two of the best bits owe their lives to her; any remaining mistakes are all mine. Appearances notwithstanding, no italics were harmed in the making of this flashfic.

Somewhere around R, I should think. K/F, as ever. Should probably have a warning, but the warning it should probably have would give the end away. Hopefully it'll suffice to say that this is about as far from true h/c as one can possibly get, and that - barring unforeseen circumstances - everyone involved survives. And it does fit the challenge, I promise...

Mea culpa to the max, y'all, because damn, this thing is long. Betaed by the splendid and bodacious estrella30, who totally blew off work sacrificed her precious time on the job to do a lightning-fast yet still thoroughly kickass readthrough. I'm thinking of cloning her. It is absolutely 107.3% not her fault that this is. um. PG-for-language-please-Hammer-don't-hurt-me-I-promise-lots-of-sex-and-no-plot-to-speak-of-next-time-kthxbye.

Second-time story (mine, not theirs).

I had an entirely different tale in mind, but it refused to be written (possibly because its informing sin was Sloth) and insisted I tell this one instead. Being as how "piss the Muse off at your peril" is the second half of my family motto, I acceded with as much grace as I could muster. (Ow.)

estrella30, uber-beta to the stars as well as to a few of us lesser mortals, beat this up for me like the rocking thing she is. (You enjoyed it, didn't you, you wench.) That one phrase? Not her fault: I was too attached to it for my own good.

The sin in question is Pride.
