Dorinda (The Sting, 2705 words, T)
Summary: By the time he finally felt he might be sleepy, it was the truly wee hours. And over the quiet breathing of a dozen other people, he recognized Hooker's voice at once.
Too soft to be a shout, too thin and high to be a groan. It was as if Hooker was on a train heading the other way, and this quiet keening noise was all Henry had left as he faded into the distance.

dorinda writes is a freakin' gem, and even though we don't even share a ton of fandoms, I know that I can safely say all those stories I haven't read are fantastic. I'm still behind on this year's Yuletide, where she has a much longer Sting story I'm excited to delve into, but this one from last year is just lovely and has so many beautiful, perfect moments. Dorinda is so adept at writing con men (among many subject)--her Ocean's 11 story from many years ago, Confidence Men, is an all-time fave that I should reread soon. I'm always so intimidated by the concept of writing con artists that I boggle at someone who can do it perfectly.
