Why this must be read: This was written (for me, I confess!) as a Yuletide Treat this past year and it manages, in less than a thousand words, to fill in so many blanks in the story of Connor and Murphy.

How did they learn to fight so viciously? Why does Connor always know that Murphy can take care of himself? These are the questions that are tackled in this fic and the answers left me breathless. The prose is gorgeous. The tale rings true.

Author's Summary: There's a history of violence there. One that tells Connor that Murphy can take care of himself. After all, they've been playing soldier for years.

Reminder About the Live Long and Marry Charity Auction

This is a quick reminder to anyone who might be interested that the livelongnmarry auction is still going on and bids will be accepted until the 15th of the month!

It's a great cause - fighting the attempts to overturn the legalization of gay marriage in California - and I'm impressed beyond the telling with how many different things are being auctioned.

Speculation, at this point, has almost $20,000 being raised. So, go! Check it out! Bid! Make an offer!
