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.

And I'm so glad that you are enjoying it -- I know the "club" is small but it's a good club. ;-)

I'm fascinated by Brian's lack of indentifying characteristics and his lack of background. Even though he's the hero of the piece and he's completely the main POV character, we still never get much of a picture of him beyond the meagerest of details, so I'm really attracted to that and how easily influenced by Dom he has become. (Also something that I want to explore with Tanner in the next part, because I like how he might notice that and wonder about it.) But what's especially interesting is that while we can see some of his character being shaped by Dom in the movie, I keep thinking -- how much would Dom be shaped by Brian once they are in a different world? Way too fun.

Some people have big guy-little guy kinks, some people have BDSM kinks, some people have dark and light kinks... me, I guess I go for the ice and fire.
