:D:D:D

nd even then, they weren’t truly equal. Sharpe never fit in the way Lawford did, never felt at ease in the Officers’ Mess.

I get the feeling that, just as much as Sharpe thinks he can't be Lawford's equal, Lawford thinks he'll never be Sharpe's....

But every time they were together, Lawford offered him that same gift: someone wanted him, and nobody else would do....

....But it was only here that Lawford admitted that older need, that of a friend

I think these are my favourite bits: the way two such different men mirror each other, without necessarily realising it or understanding what draws the other to them....

(And yay for smut!)

Oh yes. I find that the most interesting aspect of their relationship. And trying to get that across without switching POV is a challenge in itself.

That's the other thing i find really interesting about the pair of them. Which is probably why I'm so attracted to Tiger-era fic..

And you just know those two are up to high jinks in the bedroom... but so far I've just been exploring Points A and B of their relationship. (Also, I'm not the best slashfic writer in fandom.)

I'm not sure BC could have made them more slashy if he'd tried.... (Tell you what - you write the plot, I'll write the bedroom high jinks... *lol*)

I don't think Tiger could be any more slashy if BC came right out and said they were at it like rabbits...

(I have plot?!)

I can't help thinking he has Seekrit Missing Scenes somewhere in his head....

(You have more plot than I do!)

Why do you think I keep writing Tiger-fic?

(Um. I do?!)

*waits hopefully for more Seekrit Missing Scenes* We could splice them into the book like we were talking about doing with the deleted scenes of the M&C film....

(Considering that I have NONE, I think you're ahead....)

So I win by default?

But there aren't even deleted scenes for the book.

*goes to write some*
