Somewhere to Begin by Geoviki (G)

Since I'll be away for some time, I'm posting my sixth and last Maurice rec now. Thanks to everyone who commented and expressed their encouragement --  I hope you've enjoyed the stories! (If you are interested in reading more fics in this fandom, I suggest checking out [livejournal.com profile] mr_edna_may, as well as the Dreamwidth community Never be Parted.)

Fandom:
Maurice
Pairing: Maurice/Alec
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] geoviki 
Author Website: Fics at skyehawke
Why this must be read: Longer than your average Maurice fanfic and more satisfying than most, Somewhere to Begin offers a vision of Maurice and Alec's life some years after the novel's ending. The deft use of original characters and the vivid writing make this story a pleasure to read.

Either the train had arrived before 3 o'clock or George was late. The two men were already waiting, made obvious by the wheelchair, less so by the trunks beside them. Even from this distance, George thought that Hall seemed to be reassuring the other man, who anxiously paced a few steps in one direction and stared off into the distance, only to turn and pace back the other way. Then Scudder leaned forward, probably to better hear what was being said, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed to something more spirited and amused.

Thanks for all these great recs! I've always wanted to read Maurice fanfic, but it's hard to find stories in small fandoms, so I really appreciate all the wonderful stories you've recommended. Kudos for a job well-done!

Thank you so much for reccing my fic and for your kind words about it. I really do like our boys and had to make them happy (well, in a hurt/comfort kind of way, but still...)
