Why this must be read: Because it's a wonderful look at a canon-based, AU possibility for Chris & Toby. It's romantic and angsty, with some h/c, and I love the way Linda catches them here, weaving a world that offers them some chances, where the reader can feel the love between them.

It's an oldie, yes, but still a goodie.

At night, when the hacks were on patrol, and they lay in their
separate bunks, Chris had taken to telling what Toby now thought of as
bedtime stories. Tales of his exploits and misadventures on the
outside, the risks he'd taken, the bullets he'd dodged, the shit he'd
gotten away with. Tobias knew that it was Keller's way of showing his
lover that he trusted and forgave him. Prison boasting had sent many
men to solitary or death row,but Keller knew that Beecher would not
betray him. They were past that now; they had betrayed each other
enough already. The stories allowed Toby to romanticize Chris as the
perfect outlaw. As he lay in the dark with his eyes closed, listening
to Chris's deep, rough voice spin images of sex and fights, scams and
schemes, motorcycles and a world that Toby knew only in movies, he'd
fall deeply asleep and deeper in love.
