    Summary

    When Ed stops an assassination attempt on Roy's life, he foils one of the opening moves in a massive military intrigue. Can he and Roy stay one step ahead of those who want them dead, or will they both lose the fight to survive?
    Initially published 2009

    I use single quotes ‘to mark dialogue’ not “doubles”. This is a British publishing standard according to the Oxford Style Manual, and it's just my habit these days 😁

    Hope you enjoy the story!

    I read this all in one sitting and stayed up all night to finish it. It's well written and interesting throughout, with plenty of drama and intrigue as the characters fight through one crisis after another. I also thought Roy and Ed's struggle to balance their feelings for each other with their duties was realistic and done well.

    Summary

    "M-My dad said you, you’d,” the kid says, swallowing. “That if I didn’t, that if I didn’t behave, he’d sell me to you. And you, you would…”

    The shock burns away immediately; the ashes condense into a murky, muted sort of rage.

    He stays still for a long moment, then pulls himself up against the wall. “Okay,” he says monotonously, taking a step toward the kid, and the kid- flinches. He flinches.

    Jason reels back, not speaking yet, not trusting himself not to yell. And when he does speak, he says:

    “Come on, kid. Let's go say hi to your dad."

    JJ gets a lot of texts from Yuri Plisetsky. He's aware that the ones that aren’t “Fuck you!” are actually meant for Otabek, but he answers them, anyway.

    Repeated wrong number texts from Yuri to JJ lead to a slowly developing unlikely friendship. Background developing OtaYuri as well, but the way JJ persists despite Yuri’s prickly exterior and eventually succeeds in connecting with him is the real highlight. Wonderful gen fic with plenty of humor and feels.
