Why this must be read:
For my last rec, I had to mention writing of the Rhipodon Society. I can't link to these stories directly, so I'll put them all in one rec. Anything by the Rhipodon Society is worth reading, as any long-time fan knows.

Navigate to these stories in the menu on the left of the Web-archived page.


Boyfriends
In this story, Stuart and Vince are about 25, so it takes place before QAF. Stuart doesn't like Vince's new boyfriend.

Vampire
Stuart is thirsty, and he's afraid that only Vince can quench his need.

Prey
Stuart looks at Vince.

Overheard in a Liverpool Pub, March 2001
I'm not sure exactly what I think of this scenario. It's original, that's for sure. But I have to think it's an AU.

Goodbye, and Whatever
Another tale from the past: the breakup scene with Cameron.

Secret
A Vince/Nathan story set mid-series 2, it makes complete sense in the context of the rest of these stories. Give this a read--you won't be sorry.

Better
The sequel to "Secret." Nathan and Stuart right an old wrong.

Public Relations
How Stuart decided to leave for London in series 2. Also has some interesting Stuart comments about Vince.

Salvaged Grace
The plane ride to America, during which Vince wins a bet. I like this story a lot, even if it is a songfic. ;) Stuart experiences Vince-related frustration. But this time, Vince comes across. (First-time story)

Prairie
This one is one of my favorites: Stuart and Vince's Excellent Adventures, with panoramic view and road trip bickering. I adore the dialogue, and it always makes me laugh as I read it.

Delaware
A letter from Vince to Hazel.

Photogenic
This gen story features Nathan and Hazel as they chat about Vince. I wanted to be there looking at those photos.

Blood
A letter from Stuart to Hazel, in which Stuart admits that blood isn't everything.

Fuse
Vince runs into Cameron in Chicago.

Mars Is
The sequel to Fuse. I think this one has a lovely ending.

Exchange
Another tale from the road: a meeting with a Canadian in the U.S.

Displacement
I really liked this one. Vince rethinks the past.

Foolish
A letter from Vince to Hazel.

Curb
This is a darkish little scene. Stuart solves a dilemma for Vince. Vince is disturbed.

Abilene
Vince gets bashed, and Stuart is scared. Hurt/comfort fans, you'll love this story.

Wake
Some cheerfully demented fanboys have a wake. Stuart watches.

300
A QaFUK/Homicide: Life on the Streets crossover. This is worth reading if you like Tim Bayless, or if you like crossovers.

Focus
Stuart is Stuart. They get deported. The sequel to "300."

Texas
A very sweet Vince and Nathan friendship moment. Vince tells Nathan about the bashing. All you h/c fans should read it.

Note: The "Montana"and "Language" story links don't work.
