And the idea of the return to familiar ground, and Rusty's fingers on the back of Danny's neck.
Also: Rusty smiles back as best he can without ever moving his mouth.
Excellent.

So many great insights into Danny and Rusty, and how Rome changed some things and let other things be.
Everything they do is a metaphor, a signifier, a stand-in for something else that doesn't exist until they create it, and then only because other people believe the lies they tell.
You're the only writer I know who can use semiotics in an Oceanfic story. *loves*
but right now he wants fried dough covered in powdered sugar.
Well, duh. Fried dough covered in powdered sugar is the best thing EVAR. (Um, yes, I did go to the State Fair last week. Ahem.)
They ride the Tilt-a-Whirl next,
OMG the Tilt-a-Whirl is my absolute favorite! And now I can combine it with this image: He eases away, drapes an arm around the back of the car and lets his fingers brush over the hair on the nape of Danny's neck. Yowza.
"I'm hurt that you think I'm a snob."

I was originally going to do the bookstore prompt, because eee! bookstores! but I just couldn't make it work, and the amusement part, and the funnel cake and the idea of them always going, even dressed in Armani, was too good to resist.

Hee!
I once built a whole Firefly story around the definition of "oxymoron" so... *g* I'm glad that worked for you, because it was kind of the heart of the story, where I finally understood what the hell I was doing.

Mine, too! *g*
That was just so spot-on, how they have to kind of negotiate their way back together without being able to talk about it, because they are not the talking kind of people, and their propensity for hotel rooms and Danny's knowledge of Rusty's eating plan and just everything. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much. I'm so happy you liked it. *g*
