gambit
( Despite the assist from Steed and Purdey, the momentum of coming down from the wall would have sent him into the opposite flowerbeds if it hadn't been for Sam. )
11th-Dec-2008 08:42 pm - Dirtier, part 16
gambit
( He looked at his shoes, knowing that he'd disappointed Purdey again and wondering why it bothered him so much. He liked her, and truth be told he wanted to trust her, as well. But she'd been there, when he'd woken up and she'd wanted to trick him into telling... )
10th-Dec-2008 08:03 pm - Dirtier part 15
gambit
( Florrie led Purdey along a circuitous route, stopping at each corner to survey the street ahead before she let Purdey look round too. )
9th-Dec-2008 10:41 pm - Dirtier, part 14
gambit
"We've lost him," Purdey said, when they rendezvoused for the second time at the schoolyard where the trail had petered out. ( She was blowing hard, and Steed had the uncomfortable certainty that she'd been running for nearly the entire hour, trying to cover more ground. )
8th-Dec-2008 08:35 pm - Dirtier, part 13
gambit
( By the time Sam got to the top of the tree, Peanut was singing rude versions of nursery rhymes in the high, clear soprano that had won him a place in the church choir right up until the day he'd been caught distributing crickets in the vestry.  )

gambit
( When the door clanged shut the coal cellar was plunged into darkness, but after a moment a torch came on and cast a dim circle of light onto his face. )
6th-Dec-2008 10:14 pm - Dirtier, part 11
gambit
A boat!

Any idea he might have had about clearing off on his own fell away under a sudden flash of memory. His hands moving a stone back into place in a wall lit by reflections of off water, the smell of the river in his nose, and gentle movement under his feet. ( There'd been a boat. )
5th-Dec-2008 07:28 pm - Dirtier, part 10
gambit
Sam swallowed hard. "Who? How?"

( For all that the man must have been as old as Sam's father, he seemed suddenly much younger. )
3rd-Dec-2008 10:26 pm - Dirtier part 9
gambit
( It felt good to sit down, to catch his breath. )
2nd-Dec-2008 10:38 pm - Dirtier, part 8
gambit
"Hey, Mister, wait up!" Sam looked up from the plan he was writing to see who his younger brother was annoying now. But for once Peanut's motives seemed to be pure. "You've got a hole in your bag and all your stuff's falling out!"
( The tall man on the crutches stopped and swung around... )
1st-Dec-2008 10:43 pm - Dirtier, part 7
gambit
( He swung up the street, trying to think only of where to place the crutch tips on the uneven pavement. )
30th-Nov-2008 04:33 pm - Dirtier, part 6
gambit
( It might have been easier to simply lift Gambit into the back seat of Purdey's roadster, but it would have been a lot harder on his already fragile dignity. )
29th-Nov-2008 06:46 pm - Dirtier, part 5
gambit
( Purdey got back to the little hospital just in time to catch Gambit's crutches lesson, courtesy of the ward sister. )
15th-Nov-2008 08:23 pm - Dirtier part four.
gambit

14th-Nov-2008 10:49 pm - Dirtier, part three
gambit
( Blast, )
13th-Nov-2008 07:46 pm - Dirtier part two
gambit
( Saunders had come and gone, having got in a lucky punch that had left Gambit with one eye swelling shut before he was knocked cold. )
12th-Nov-2008 10:18 pm - Alternate Ending to "Dirtier by the Dozen"
gambit
What? Another WIP? Yes, but this one has lots and lots and lots of pages already written. And I'm only posting bits as I run through the beta comments a little at a time, to give me something to post while I work on my Yuletide story and other WIPS and things I want to try to get to when I take my vacation at the end of the year. But I need to post something, right?

( Yes, it starts in Media Res, and it's New Avengers, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. )
