FIC: Host (Giles/Ethan - R) - (4/4) *** complete*

TITLE: Host
PAIRING: Giles/Ethan
SPOILERS: post-NFA
RATING: hard R
SUMMARY: Giles and Ethan play a game of chess.
AN: written for xanphibian and kate74
Oh and before I forget: many many many thanks to ladycat777, hesadevil, sangpassionne, and patintexas who beta'd this for me.

Earlier parts: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

If you haven't read the earlier parts because you wanted to wait until the whole thing is finished, I recommend you read it at my site, because that version is fully beta'd: Host
The chaptering at my site is slightly different. This post equals the second half of chapter 2 and the complete chapter 3 at my site.

AN: If you want to see the moves Giles and Ethan make, go here. I used a historical tournament game that I found in a book. But of course the internet is even better than books, it archives that game in animated glory.

Also, a while ago several authors posted annotated versions of one of their stories, providing readers with the fanfic equivalent of a DVD audio comment. I am working on an annotated version of this. But now, without any more ado:

FIC: Dealing (Ethan/Lindsey - NC-17)

After a far too long break, today I finally looked at one of the sections again that gave me grief, and with sangpassionne's help, one small road block crumbled instantly. Sometimes you just have to stop staring at the problem, go away, and lose the anxiety elsewhere. Don't know why this bit blocked me. I still have problems with what comes next. I wrote half a dozen scenes in various sessions, and now these scenes need glueing together. Only some don't fit. Oh well, I will do this one step at a time. Enjoy.
