The latest for Ciudad de Estrellas Part 4: On the Ropes is posted now, in which the boys finally make contact with Castelano, they get something unexpected from Tanner, and emoting and smut occur.

I busted my ass to finish and post this so I could beat the flood of Yuletide stories and other challenges coming this week. Not that that will in any way hold back the flood of disinterest, but at least it's up and out.

And as usual the epigrams I've been using at the start of each part are from Bruce Springsteen songs, that great bard of cars, driving, open highways, and the vagaries of love.

I was going to say flattering stuff about plot and characterization, but I sorta lost it all when I hit the last bit...

And now I'm supposed to go back to working after that??
Yeah, right.

The sex was the last bit, or the after sex? Just curious because I wasn't sure if the sex was actually ... uh, anticlimactic. So to speak. ;-)

Yes, right back to work with you, missy!

It wasn't so much the sex itself as that I wasn't expecting it. I thought it was going to take a bit longer for things to go that far, and I was caught up in how stressed out they both were, and how off balance, and suddenly--whoa!

Went and blindsided me, you did.

Yes, right back to work with you, missy!
Don't wanna! And, since my supervisor isn't coming in 'til later in the day: not gonna!
