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.
