After all that happened, all he'd been through, Echo never expected to have such a soft touch on his face again. He is so blessed to have such kindness and affection doted on him.

Twice Alive

ship: Echo/Adri (OC) rating: M chapters: 8 summary: Echo and Adri find that there’s no operations manual for how to build a relationship.

The wyrm was scary, as was getting cornered into the outpost building. Once the danger was gone, the fear really took hold. It was too close to Tantiss and far too soon.

But Echo was here.

Echo said it was okay, that she was safe.

So she was.

A Fives and Echo story that's been simmering away for a long time! Some regular readers will know that I worked in costume in film and TV for a long time, so I'm dragging the boys into that world.

The title comes from one of my favourite songs by Australian indy band, Augie March. If you like your music with a heavy dose of amazing poetry, check them (and singer/songwriter Glenn Richards) out.
