Notes: If you're familiar with my work (or with me!) you know that I wasn't happy with how FH ended for my favourite characters. According to the post-script of the series, you can either go with the idea that Fox and Collin split, which would lead into the other comic OPB, or they were able to stay together. I am in the latter's camp, but recently I got to thinking about them breaking up. If I entertained the notion of them breaking up... this is how I think it would've happened. I think their characters weren't as tight or as consistently portrayed in the last year or so, but I've done my best to keep the line of story that had been happening, reconciling the old and new characterisations and doing my best to be objective about it, not subjective. To that end, this is a third person limited fic, and it follows Nefertari's experiences with the events. Many thanks to my 3 very talented betas, who put up with me pasting things to them, haranguing them, and emailing rewrites at odd hours. It was important that this fic got a really good going-over, because I wanted it to be good. I think it's about as good as I can make it right now. I hope you enjoy. :)

I had trouble naming this piece, but it came to me as I thought about Fox losing Collin becomes a directionless compass. I looked up some navigation terms and came across 'dead reckoning', which is a way to calculate one's current position using previously determined positions, then extrapolating future positions based on that data. The part I liked the best about it, however, was this: A disadvantage of dead reckoning is that since new values are calculated solely from previous values, the errors and uncertainties of the process are cumulative, so the error and uncertainty in the value grow with time. To me, this is very indicative of what's happening with Fox right at this time, and what will happen to him in the near future.

Notes: More fewchur-ness. I rather like this one. This one was complete around 2006, but not posted until later. Fox's suit is based on one I saw in a menswear shop window in 2003, yes, colour and all. It was a damned fine suit.

Notes: Ok, so this strip is a great example of a bizarre kink that Collin possessed -- he loved it when Fox had to fight through East Telnetcomm, and come home all bloody and bruised. He was very turned on by this. I wrote fic detailing. :) It was started not long after this strip (2006), but didn't get completed until the posting date. I actually really like this fic. I like it when Collin gets uber-sexy-demanding.

Notes: Collin POV. Another one of those fics inspired by the goings on at the Fox and Collin LJs. Oh, how I miss those. Anyway, the boys had funny situations back then. Collin would feel down sometimes, but not for any particularly nameable reason, and his inability to explain to Fox why he was down would sometimes cause problems. He felt like he had to have a reason, and Fox did too, in a way. Silly Fox. But Collin's learning about how a proper relationship works, and rather than be avoidant he does pursue the boy and clears the air.

Notes: Collin POV. The flip side to Removed. Again, apart from looking at some grammatical things, I didn't touch the structure of this one, I'm too happy with how it currently sits. I like my Collin-voice, in this. Now these are both listed as F/C fics, but I think it's still technically before they became a couple, if I'm remembering correctly. They're just very close, and Collin really needs the physical and emotional support at these times, which Fox is only too happy to provide. They were written in conjunction with the events going on in the Fox and Collin LJs at the time, however, and I believe in that and the comics they were slowly getting closer in the romantic sense. But not quite there yet :)

Notes: Fox POV. Removed and its unofficial companion, Harbor, were written while I was still working on the mammoth All The King's Horses, to help me work through writer's block in different sections. Even after all this time, and even revising them, I only changed some punctuation. I am happy with the flow and the emotion and the subject matter and... eeeverything :) These two fics also garnered me a wealth of really thoughtful and wonderful feedback, and I still thank you guys for caring.

Notes: Collin POV. I finally fixed it! There were some things in the way I wrote Stuart the annoying hall monitor that had been bugging me for YEARS, so I finally corrected them. Other than that, I've always been so happy with how the rest of this fic came out. This was my first FH (or rather, Fox and Collin) fic ever, as well. This means I've been writing about these guys for nearly 10 years. Wow. No wonder they feel like old friends. :)

Notes: The Santa photographer line is in there because I used to be one. :) One of the reasons these fics were so much fun to write was that I got to invent a whole lot of stuff, using a very basic framework to work from. This backstory of Mik's hadn't been explored in BMB, and I only knew it from talking to Sandra about it. With the basic ideas of what happened, it gave me a lot of flexibility to play with events. If we call C&C canon mik/ty before BMB started, it makes Tybalt missing out on seeing his parents at that juncture quite significant. This is explored in my WIP AU fic, Rewriting History.

Notes: A question was raised long ago as to why Tybalt in his occasionally unscrupulous way stop taking meds so as to comply with the track rules. For one, he would've been caught, and Tybalt getting caught is something he likes to avoid wherever possible. The other reason is that his track stuff has always been a point of personal pride -- a way to be better than everyone else. He'd consider it an affront to his talent to not compete purely under his own steam.

Notes: I've seen a lot of fandom Nowaki's written as big, dumb doofuses who just squeal 'hiro-san' and don't do much of anything. This is my response. I know that Hiroki treats Nowaki like a kid sometimes (in canon, too), but I can't see Nowaki just taking it all the time, especially as he gets older and realises their age gap matters less and less. It's about time Hiroki got read the riot act. :)
