So... you really thought you were free of me? Naive... ;-D
Established relationships... there are so many good stories with this theme, but the first one I think about when I looking for this kind of reading is
Title: Conjugal Visits
Author: taselby -
taselbyPairing: D/M - NC-17 - FutureFic
Why this must be read:
This story is set 120 years into the future, and what a dark future is it!
Our boys are forced to be apart, but once an year, they get togheter, hence the title. Romantic, isn't it?

If he was ever ready.
He took another long drink of the astringent coffee and quit lying to himself, at least for the moment. He knew why he did it. Because in the morning they would pack their gear and take down the tent and hike out in different directions, and Duncan would feel like he'd been torn in half.
And Methos would whistle a jaunty tune as he strode off down the trail. God, he could be a cold bastard.
Setting his empty cup aside, he got up and checked the tent pegs, packs, and a couple of traps set nearby, while Methos cleared the non-existent debris from the camp perimeter. Movement felt good, even if it was make-work.
So, you now can

Happy Mother's Day for all of you who are moms!
