We can wait a few days to get home, can’t we? See our families and have them with us? You wouldn’t want us to start our life together on the road, anyway.”

    Summary

    Disclaimer:. This is not a tribute to a certain author. Living, active writers don’t need ‘em. I wrote this for myself, anyone who thinks otherwise is challenged to come up with a better ending.
    As well, I do not hate the fifth season, but as a Bard I have this magical keyboard that allows me to play whatever tunes I prefer.
    Violence Warning: Definitely. Unusual in my stories, but many readers might wish to avoid the three italicized paragraphs in the first section. (Atropos)
    Sex: PG13, Consenting adults who love each other and happen to be of the same sex. If this is a problem due to age or local law, please move, or move on. Though I still personally think you need to get out more.
    Spoilers Alert: Quite a few. There are references to Been There, Done That, and from Family Affair right up to Chakrum
    Thank you, Kelly Noble, Mary Morgan, Cath, Ruth, Georgia, thenorm, extra, (geez, who’s left to read this?) and another fanfic author who will not remain anonymous, Archaeobard.
