Fic Update: "No Direction Home"
No, it's not my fe_contest entry. That's stalled out at 437 words because I got sidetracked by one of the minor characters and went off on a separate tangent entirely.
This is 100% stress-relief on my part. I don't even know if it's good; I do know that the music I listened to while writing it (big sweeping power ballads) was irredeemably awful, not to mention a far cry from my usual diet of Leonard Cohen, John Cale, and Elvis Costello. I guess it's technically a part of the Unified Kingdom fic-verse, as I can't see any telltale signs that it's not. But it's a "missing moments" kind of story, and you either go for that sort of thing or you massively hate it.
OK. Back to real work.
