  <title>Dragon Lady, Chapter Two</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/5846.html</link>
  <description>Hello readers! I&apos;m posting thsi chapter now because I&apos;m facing a horribly busy month-end sort of weekend and I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ll get any time for myself to do writing or posting activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Dragon Lady&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;Chapter 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: smaller;&quot;&gt;By Brit Columbia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fandom:&lt;/em&gt; FAKE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Timeline:&lt;/em&gt; Set after Justice in July of the FAKE First Year Together series. Also set after Volume 7 of FAKE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Summary:&lt;/em&gt; JJ is unhappy about a woman Drake has recently started seeing, and feels that Drake needs to be rescued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rating:&lt;/em&gt;  This whole story is worksafe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/em&gt; FAKE, featuring Dee, Ryo, Bikky, Carol, Ted, Drake, and JJ, was created by Sanami Matoh. I make no claim on FAKE or Ms. Matoh or any of her characters. I write fanfiction with no expectation of monetary reward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Author&apos;s Notes&lt;/em&gt;:  Detectives James Chang and Eliza Austen are my characters. So are Lily and her brother, and Bridget, James&amp;rsquo;s girlfriend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bridget first appeared in FAKE First Year Together: A New Day, in Chapter 6. She was interested in Ryo, but later when she showed up at the station looking for Ryo, Dee managed to deflect her onto James instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lily has appeared twice before in my FAKE stories. She was first introduced in Chapter 15 of A New Day when Ryo had lunch with Drake at a Chinese restaurant. Later she appeared about halfway through Slave to a Gladiator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/5846.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;JJ has a memorable dinner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=5846&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Driven (a Happy-belated Birthday fic for my pal lunasariel)</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/5019.html</link>
  <description>Hello Fake fans! I&apos;m posting this at Dreamwidth initally and crossposting to LJ because I doubt LJ has finished righting their rich text debacle and I don&apos;t feel like wasting time reformatting everything. I don&apos;t even know if this is going to work properly anyway! It could be that when I crosspost, the formatting will get screwed up by LJ anyway. I&apos;m hoping for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, regular readers of my Live Journal will recall that&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lunasariel.livejournal.com/profile&quot;&gt;lunasariel&lt;/a&gt;&apos;&lt;/b&gt;s birthday arrived at a busy time in my life and I couldn&apos;t write anything for her, even though I really, really wanted to. So I promised I would post something for her by the end of August. Hence this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had originally written a completely different first chapter, but when I got around to doing the outline for that one, I realized it was going to turn into a long story-- maybe fifteen or sixteen chapters. I hesitated because I don&apos;t think I can commit to another brand new long story at this point in my life. So I banged off a new first chapter to a story that will be shorter. I think I can wrap this one up in about three chapters, unless I get carried away. (It&apos;s got Diana in it, so I just might!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Driven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;by Brit Columbia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fandom&lt;/em&gt;: Fake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pairing&lt;/em&gt;: Berkeley/Diana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rating&lt;/em&gt;: I don&apos;t know yet, but this chapter is fairly worksafe. Sort of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Timing&lt;/em&gt;: Set in August in the first year of the FFYT series. That means it happened before Slave to A Gladiator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spoilers&lt;/em&gt;: Volume 7 of Sanami Matoh&apos;s Fake series&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disclaimer&lt;/em&gt;: All of these characters belong to Sanami Matoh. I make no money for writing fanfiction about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Author&apos;s notes&lt;/em&gt;: This is a Happy Birthday fic for &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lunasariel.livejournal.com/profile&quot;&gt;lunasariel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , who has been my LJ friend for years! Thanks for all the times you read and enjoyed my stories, and also for keeping me entertained with your own thought-provoking posts. I hope the coming year is both awesome and happy for you. Your exact request was &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Can it pretty please involve the Commissioner &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;being&lt;/span&gt;  a lecherous jerk? With a possible &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;side&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;order&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;Ryo&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;being&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;il&quot;&gt;awesome&lt;/span&gt;? ^.^&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;Well, that is exactly what will happen in this story, although Ryo has not shown up yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/5019.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Messing with the wrong girl...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=5019&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Take Me Home</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/4790.html</link>
  <description>This is for Neengydot, whose birthday I missed way back in September. I  recall thinking about birthday smut at that time, but I think I had too  many assignments hanging over me at that time. Also, one of my biggest  writing problems is an inability to be brief. Levity I can do. Brevity,  unfortunately, can outrun me! Anyhow, this is my third attempt to write  something short. It clocks in at only 1111 words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy late birthday Neengy! Thanks for all your kind encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Take Me Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;by Brit Columbia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Fandom: FAKE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Pairing: Dee/Ryo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Rating: Mature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times-Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Disclaimer:  The characters Dee, Ryo, Ted, Janet and the Chief belong to Sanami  Matoh, their creator.

  <title>A common cat complaint</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/4171.html</link>
  <description>I was roused from the warm, drifting tides of sleep this morning by an  unmistakable and familiar sound-- that of a cat retching. The  responsible half of me considered getting up to deal with it right then  lest my husband wake up and step in it on his way to the bathroom, but  the lazy half decided to go back to sleep and deal with the cat vomit later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When  I got up about an hour later, I searched for the puke puddle(s), but to  no avail. I asked Fluff, but he just blinked sleepily at me and then  led me hopefully to his dish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&apos;m nervously wondering where  and when I&apos;m going to get a nasty surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=4171&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>FAKE First Year Together: Justice (June), Chapter 8, Part TWO</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/3985.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 51, 102);&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;My LJ post for this chapter was deemed too large, so I had to break it up into two parts. I didn&apos;t think it was that large! I&apos;m sure I&apos;ve written and successfully posted longer chapters than this. Anyway, here is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;Part Two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of Justice Chapter 8. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;Part two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 51, 102);&quot;&gt;is totally worksafe except for some swearing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/3985.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Justice ch 8, part TWO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=3985&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>FAKE First Year Together: Justice (June), Chapter 8 (Part 1)</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/3601.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Hi patient Fake fans! Here&apos;s Justice chapter 8, but since it&apos;s apparently too large for LJ, I&apos;ll have to post it in two parts. Hence, this is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;part one.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fake First Year Together:  Justice (June)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Brit Columbia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter  Eight: &lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Forms of Things  Unknown&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fandom:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; Fake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pairing:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; Dee/ Ryo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rating:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  Not worksafe, but don&apos;t get your hopes up because there&apos;s only a teeny  tiny bit of naughty activity in this chapter. I really had a lot of  plot-ground to cover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spoilers:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt; To Volume 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Timing:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;  Set in June,&amp;nbsp; a month or so after book 7 ended. Dee and Ryo recently  became a couple in May. FAKE First Year Together: A New Day left off on  Sunday night. This chapter takes place a few days later on Thursday  night and Friday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Summary:&lt;/em&gt; Ryo is coming to terms  with what it means to be a gay man in a straight world. He and Dee are  also hunting the dangerous Lieutenant Abernathy...but who is hunting  whom?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; I am not making any money for the  writing of this work of fanfiction, nor do I own Fake or any of the  characters created by Sanami Matoh. Lieutenant Mike Abernathy is mine,  however, and so are Bikky&apos;s friends Thomas and Dave. Other Brit  characters are Detective Greenspan and her partner Detective Ruth Massey  of the 99th Precinct.&amp;nbsp; Eliza and Allison are two female characters I  added to the CI team. James Chang and Sheldon Arios are also part of the  team. Leona is the Chief&apos;s secretary. Helen is the Commissioner&apos;s  secretary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Author&apos;s notes:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; I see Ryo and Dee as equals. One  Police Plaza is sometimes referred to as &apos;The Palace&apos;.  Thank you for  reading!&lt;br /&gt;Please send some love to my wonderful betas, &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://the-ladyfeather.livejournal.com/profile&quot;&gt;the_ladyfeather&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,  &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tripple_p&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,  and&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://shelley6441.livejournal.com/profile&quot;&gt;shelley6441&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.  They all beta-read this chapter twice for me!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;﻿&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/3601.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Justice, Chapter 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=3601&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Slave to a Gladiator, chapter 20</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/860.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Slave To A Gladiator&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Brit Columbia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fandom:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; Fake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pairing:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; Dee and Ryo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rating:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt; Not worksafe. No sex yet, but there&apos;s some kissing and a naked man on a bed getting his butt whacked by a mighty gladiator. That&apos;s probably not worksafe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spoilers&lt;/em&gt;:&amp;nbsp; to Volume 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/em&gt; Dee, Ryo and Bikky belong to Sanami Matoh, who created the popular manga, FAKE. I was not paid in any way for writing this story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Summary:&lt;/em&gt; Ryo and Dee go to the bedroom. Dee&apos;s still a slave. It&apos;s punishment time, and he&apos;s hauling out the puppy-dog eyes in the hopes of saving his sorry ass!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Author&apos;s notes:&lt;/em&gt; Please read and review. I&apos;ll post again in two weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you&lt;/em&gt; to the_ladyfeather, tripple_p and shelley6441 for culling out all my mistakes.

  <title>No, honest, I&apos;m not on drugs...</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/532.html</link>
  <description>First of all, I&apos;d like to thank all the people who were kind enough to weigh in with their two cents on my previous post&lt;a href=&quot;http://brit-columbia.livejournal.com/69781.html&quot; class=&quot;subj-link&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Two things I&apos;m considering and need advice on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I haven&apos;t been able to answer everyone yet, but I&apos;m going to make a point of doing that this weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s an update on one of those two things. The laser eye surgery is a no-go.&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/532.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;still stuck with my glasses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=532&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Slave to a Gladiator chapter 19</title>
  <link>https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/369.html</link>
  <description>We&apos;ve had a lot of rain where I live, recently. This is of course the rainy west coast of Canada, and please don&apos;t think I&apos;m complaining. I can ride my bike in the rain, but not on snow and ice. I love winter. It&apos;s by far my favorite season. I would actually like it to be a little colder, but not cold enough to bring the aforementioned unbikable snowy and icy roads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you may also know that I&apos;m somewhat of a boot collector. I love boots, all kinds of boots.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m always looking for colored boots, like blue, green, or red. They&apos;re very hard to find, especially in a small city like mine. I have a purple pair, a red pair and a royal blue pair. I had a green pair but I stupidly left them at the gym two years ago and went home in my running shoes. Never saw them again, as you might imagine. But, over the years, I have accumulated a lot of boots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, last weekend the nonstop heavy rain and pretty much my entire collection of boots had an unfortunate encounter.&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/369.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;a deluge to wash a way the sins of the boots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slave To A Gladiator&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 19&lt;br /&gt;By Brit Columbia&lt;br /&gt;Fandom:&amp;nbsp; Fake&lt;br /&gt;Pairing:&amp;nbsp; Dee and Ryo&lt;br /&gt;Rating:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Still worksafe. Sorry! There&apos;s a kiss, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brit-columbia.dreamwidth.org/369.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;a fine specimen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=brit_columbia&amp;ditemid=369&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
