I've just posted a new slash, 'first time' story, entitled LIES, on my site at www.arianna.hidden-muse.com It's moderately long ... 61 pages, over 41,000 words.

I have to thank Janet for giving me yet another great idea to run with, and only hope I've done it justice. As always, my thanks go to StarWatcher, as well, for beta'ing the story, and to Rhianne, for hosting my slash stories on her site.

Briefly, the story is set post-TSbyBS and Blair has been a cop for nearly a year. But, when he's the key witness in a murder trial, his testimony is impugned by his reputation as a liar and a fraud, and the case is thrown out. And ... well, you'll just have to read the rest of it!

If you get a chance to check it out, I hope you enjoy it, and I'd sure appreciate feedback!

Yay! It looks good.

Suggestion -- post this at [livejournal.com profile] ts_news; that's what it's for, and you'll catch people who don't read your LJ. Also, add the beginning of the URL, so that LJ will give them a clickable link --

Lovely story! I gotta say, I was all weepy and angsting through half of this story. I mean, the boys were just so messed up. I felt so bad for them and you fixed it! YAY! Great job!

Ah, Janet, for me, the writing is the easy part -- the hard part is coming up with new ideas! You have really great ideas and I'm SO glad you share them so willingly with me. Thank you.

::hangs head in shame:: I’m a bad friend and a bad fan ;0( But, the good news is that I stopped sneezing long enough over the weekend to read it. :0) It was a wonderful story and yes, it was full of angst and some hanky moments.

The part that stayed in my mind the most was the ending. About bloody time Jim did the right thing *g* and I loved how you involved both William and Steven in the story. I think this went a long way to giving Blair a sense of family and a sense of really belonging.

Oh, and I also have to mention the dining room table and Jim’s cleaning fetish – This made
me laugh. (Won’t give anymore away)

Excellent job!

No, no! You're a fabulous friend and, hey, as far as being a fan goes, I think you're terrific!

I'm glad to hear that your cold sounds like it's getting better!

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the story, Jess ... ::grins:: I couldn't resist the cleaning scene, LOL!!!! Though I'm not sure it's credible. Not sure any guy would worry about something like at a time like that, but I thought working it in as a kind of reflexive action might fly. And, yeah, the last we heard on the series was that William and Steven were some upset, so I wanted to slip in that those fences were well and truly mended.

Really appreciate your note!

That's the thing about humour ... it doesn't have to be what a person would normally do. But in this case, I could very much see the look on Jim's face. :0)
