Boston scores on a two-run double to the tricky right field corner.

Left field corner. Right field corner is Eutaw Street and is the shortest line in the stadium, because Cal Ripken always hit in that direction and they built the stadium for him. (Nobody's ever hit the warehouse in an actual game, but Cal came close.)

Um. Not that I'm shaking my fist at you for writing the Red Sox beating the Os or anything. IT'S TRUE BUT IT'S STILL RUDE.

(Ha! For once I can talk about the sports!)

I love this, seriously. The careful negotiation of two people who are only slightly alike, and who probably shouldn't be as in love as they won't admit they are, and all their history. I love Sam letting Cam be eighteen and new again, and I love that the fight about the towels is just about the towels, and I love the distinction between Jackson and Daniel, and the sushi and the beer and just, oh, boys. ♥

YES HI *WRIGLEY* HAS THE TRICKY RIGHT FIELD CORNER. *facepalm* i shall change that post-haste, i am so embarrassed for myself. in my defense, i ... haven't been to the yard in two years? something like that? *hides*

thank you so much, hon; this was a story that wrote itself, really, i was just here to put it on paper. it was as easy and as hard as the boys together really are, if that makes any sense at all. i'm so glad you liked. ♥

Clearly you need to come visit us this summer sometime and go to a game with us. (We actually haven't been yet this season, which is a fucking tragedy brought about by my goddamn disability and not wanting to buy the season tickets when we weren't sure when we'd be able to go. We must clearly remedy this posthaste.)

And that makes PERFECT SENSE. They're such pains in the ass in the most wonderful way, aren't they? *g*

keri and i will both definitely be up at some point this summer, likely late july (i think the paternal unit actually already has tickets for one game of the yanks/o's series at the end of july). and when we are, dinner and baseball shall be had! i need to rekindle my love affair with the yard, for certain.

they're huge pains in my ass, but i can't help but love them. :)

Lovely!

[minervacat]

thank you! :)

I like the way that was structured, with the arguments and what they really say about the relationship - especially the towels on the bathroom floor, like a little moment of complete normality in fairly weird lives.

My favourite thing about your stories is, just when it seems like the story would be coming to an end, it keeps going - like suddenly realising there's another half hour of your favourite film still to go. I don't know, that sounded better in my head than it does written down :(

[minervacat]

no, no, that's WONDERFUL -- i try to time the endings just right in my stories, and i'm so thrilled to know that it works, that i manage the right amount of suspense and pacing. thank you so so much -- i'm so glad you ended this. :)

[minervacat]

heee, thank you! :)

and yes, of course, make off with cam's middle name -- i freely contribute it to the canon sucks, let's go make fanon club. if anybody asks, he's named for everett case, legendary n.c. state basketball coach. *grin*

[synecdochic]

(I'm totally stealing this too. You know I'd forgotten it wasn't canon. *g*)

[cofax7]

Wow, that was *lovely*.

Just beautiful.

[minervacat]

thanks so much. :)
