Author's Notes: For the LiveJournal community slashing_lorne’s challenge, “Spring,” where spring is incorporated either literally or figuratively as new beginnings. This story manages to incorporate both.
Word Gets Around assumes a pre-existing, established relationship between Evan Lorne and Carson Beckett, one that was intense and strong. If you wish, dear readers, you could consider it an 11-degrees-from-centre sequel to Pict Nae Scot, which is a blessedly happier tale than this one.
Outside of real-world practises that inform the backstory of this fic a great deal, I strongly encourage readers to read and enjoy In the City of Seven Walls by auburnnothenna; Human Condition, Hybrid, and The New Evolution by kyrdwyn; and Bound By Will by sheafrotherdon – stories that are not directly related to my own humble story but also connect to themes explored in Word Gets Around. Yes, some day I plan to write a meta on what I mean by that, but given the allergy headache I’m fighting at the moment, it’ll have to wait. *apologies*
A huge thank-you to my beta mice1900. Thank you also to mice1900, nicke, and pushkin666 for listening to this as it poured out in all its ragged pain.
This is also my first attempt at making fanart/coverart, and I am very very very pleased with the result. *g*
Disclaimer: Anything you recognise is not mine; please don’t sue, we’ll both regret it in the morning.
Whew! Still here? Grab some tissues and let’s get on with the fic ...
