It's Wednesday

So - I'm missing Ms Sara and her discussions (hope she's having a *great* time on the trail and comes back with lots to report!), so I decided to just throw out a few questions here in hopes of garnering a little more insight into a few things in season one.

Question one - anyone know what color Lydia's eyes are (from "Working Girls")?  I did a search on Katy Boyer but I haven't found any kind of bio!

Question two - At what point does Vin stop calling Mary "Mrs. Travis" and start calling her "Mary" - is it in Season one?  And on a similar note - when does Mary start calling Chris "Chris" and not "Mr. Larabee"?  She does, I think, call him "Mr. Larabee" in "Safecracker" - but I think they're also a little pissed at each other (It's in the scene where he's chastising her for not telling them that the prisoner was a woman).  Or do they interchange the names and titles based on their attitude when they're talking to each other?

Question three - Josiah and Maude - yes or no?  We all know he's 'penniless' (thank you, Ezra), but do you think there's something there anyway?

Question four - "Working Girls" closes with Nathan and Buck riding out of town; "Safecracker" opens with Nathan and Buck picking up "the prisoner" - how closely were the two eps set?  Do we (okay, do *you* guys) know if the first season is supposed to be completely contiguous?  Are the eps supposed to be tight in terms of time line?

Thanks!!!

Things of interest to me (and maybe to you) from Wyoming

I'm currently in Wyoming enjoying the hell out of myself on vacation. :D

But I don't want to get totally out of the geeky fangirling habit, so I made a point to do a bit of research on things of Magnificent Interest while I've been here.

Posting a new fic

Title: Weaving: Knotting I – The Star Knot

Author: Farad

Universe: Old West

Spoilers: Pilot, “Working Girls”

Summary: Chris and Vin – the  first time

Pairing: Chris/Vin

Rating: Ohh – I hate this.  So let’s say, to be on the safe side, Adult NC-17, FRAO (Adults only, right?).

Warnings: Slash, violence, Angry-Chris, passive-Vin.  This is a dark-ish story – grey, two guys having post-battle sex.  Many of you won’t like Chris.  He’s – well, he’s a hard man who’s fighting his feelings.

 

Beta-ed by the *wonderful* Sara_Merry99 and Jill, two exceptional writers who took time away from their own pursuits to help me out.  Any mistakes are entirely my fault because I probably thought I knew better than they did!

 

Author’s Note I: As with everything else I’ve written so far in this universe, this is not what I expected.   (See the other three stories so far in this arc, “Weaving: Prophecy or Chance”, “Weaving: Cause or Cure”, and “Weaving: Knotting III – the Half Hitch”.)  But somewhere along the way, things got complicated, and it didn’t go the way it was supposed to.  I think it’s because sex is easy, but love isn’t.

 

Author’s  Note 2: The Star knot: Star knots are possibly the most interesting and difficult knots to make, but they are arguably the most beautiful of them all. According to Ashley, it was first noted in 1888, although some references suggest it's been around for more than 150 years.  The Celtic Star note is a five-point knot, the emblem of perfection.
