Notes: I hated Shinobu the first time I saw him, but a few well-written Tero fics actually got me interested in him. I didn't feel as though I had a good grasp on his character at all, so I set myself a challenge to write him. And I decided to base it in somewhere I was at least familiar with -- Australia :D Covering that little period of time that was only ever mentioned in the manga/anime. It was meant to be a one-shot (and I don't normally write one-shots part by part) but the other two bits followed very naturally, and I like them all together. I think the name 'Houdini' came about by thinking about how he was using Australia as an escape... When the fic began to expand into part 2 and then part 3, I looked up Houdini and did some research on the tricks he would do. When I read the names, I just liked the way they worked as titles to the parts, because I think they do refer to and play some relevance to what happens.
