Happiness was Born a Twin by Chick Walker (G)

Fandom: Alias Smith and Jones
Pairing: Hannibal Heyes / Kid Curry (Gen)
Length: approximately 3,600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] suemc and [livejournal.com profile] gillyp
Author Website: A lot of their stories can be found at  Alias Smith and Jones Fanfic

Why this must be read: Heyes and Curry are exhausted, holed up in some small town ruminating over the events that brought them to this particular town and whether or not they'll get their amnesty over a friendly glass of whiskey while Heyes attempts to read a dime novel he found in their room. Just the kind of scene we'd see in the show. It's filled with warmth, friendly banter and the camaraderie that made the chemistry between the two former outlaws so memorable. Honestly, this could be a missing scene from an episode, it's just that good.

Not at all, how would you know? :o) The blushes are all mine, you said such nice things about a story I'd almost forgotten (it's a long time ago). I'm just thrilled you enjoyed it enough to rec it, I'm all smiley now - I feel like going over to the PDS and reading some ASJ fic.

Thanks again!

These stories are partly yours?

I absolutely love the Chick Walker stories. Some of the very best in the fandom, IMO. "Happiness" is one of my feel-good stories, that I read when I need a pick-me-up, and "A Safeful Of Diamonds" is one of the best things ever. :D

I'm really glad you enjoyed them.

We co-wrote some, mostly we collaborated Sue writing and me beta'ing and vice-versa. Happiness and Safeful of Diamonds's are both mine, aamof so, thank you for taking the trouble to read them and comment so kindly! It's been quite a while since we wrote in ASJ fandom and it's a very pleasant surprise to see one of my old fics recc'd here! It's quite made my evening. *g*

An absolute treasure. Chases, hotel rooms, a bed that's slightly too small, banter, dark shadows of unavoidable doubts, more banter, a fantastic pie caper, a gentle, subdued ending - who needs slash when you can have all this in one story?

Betsy will be gone from the Kid's mind in a couple of days' time, we all know where his loyalties and love lie.

Thank you, authors, and thank you for the heads-up, [livejournal.com profile] georgiesmith.
