Thank you. This is what happens when you run out of time and are desperate for a trope to write. :D

Their future wasn't certain, but for the moment they had this much: warmth and companionship and a friend to trust their backs to in the night. It was more than Methos had known for most of his long life. He closed his eyes.

Thank you for reading, and for your comment! :)

Very intense, and I liked the contrast between the seriousness of their situation and their inevitable snarking back and forth. I was worried that they were going to be found, so I breathed a sigh of relief when they were rescued. And there were so many quietly intense and warm moments, like the one keerawa quoted - very nice.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. One of these days, I will read those Lord John Grey books and you'll finally get that crossover I keep wishing I could write for you!

Thank you! Yes. There could definitely be a much longer story here, but time did not permit. Maybe later this year.

Just now catching up! I enjoyed reading your "The Midnight Clear;" thank you for sharing it. For a slightly different reader experience than a couple of the comments above shared, the size and shape felt right to me -- that is, the fuzzing off at the margins didn't feel like missing content to me, but like focus on a single spot in a larger world.

Thank you-I appreciate your comments more than I can say! I'm really glad that this felt like a complete story unto itself. :) I do think it could exist as part of a larger story, but it's great to hear that it was satisfying in and of itself. Thank you so much for reading.
