    Summary

    In light of what's happened with Jessey Lacey, I don't feel comfortable having this fic on my profile anymore. That said, it is a Thing I Wrote and I put in time and care, and for that reason I don't want to delete it forever. I also don't feel like I can abdicate responsibility for having written this work, so I've decided to orphan this while leaving my pseud on. You can contact me about it if you like. Mina.


    And a mouth kept shut,
    and a tongue twist-tied;
    you’re the web in front of a favorite lie.

     

     

     

    Sequel to The Tension and the Terror. Spans about three and a half years of Jesse Lacey and John Nolan’s relationship in their early twenties, up to and immediately after The Fight. Because yeah, the internet needed another one of those fics. The first ten chapters take place from the fall of 1997 through 1998; chapter eleven onwards is from 1999 through to May of 2001.
