Knife Edge is a story written by [[Matsuoka Haruka]] (in memoriam) and [[Kimyō Tabibito]]. It will run in [[Special Issue 10]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/, and will be mirrored on Wednesday at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/.

== Summary ==
Elena stages her own fantasy kidnapping, things go delightfully awry.

== Author Notes ==
Last year my dear friend, partner in crime, and co-writer, [[Matsuoka Haruka]], passed away very suddenly; she was a constant in my life for ten years and was more than a friend, she was a sister. If there was anything that she did, it was constantly push me to write, to finish something. She believed in me when I didn’t do so in myself.

After she was gone, my therapist suggested I try and making meaning in my grief, and so I turned to writing. I hadn’t finished a short story in years and I sat myself down and said, “Etienne, you are going to do this, you are going to do this for Steph.” So, I sat down and out came [[You said Yes as I said Please]]. One thing leads to another and suddenly I had six stories posted in S2B2, the first three were specifically written for her, as a part of my grieving process.

I knew as soon as I realized that this was going to be a regular “thing” for me, that I had to revise this story sitting abandoned for five years in my Google Drive. Steph and I had written it, and then I had gotten cold feet about posting it anywhere.

It was not an easy process; I was scared of losing Steph’s words, worried that she would have hated the direction I took the piece. Editing was even more difficult, as I whittled down more of her work. About 1/3 of her contribution still remains, and Elena was “her” character.

In the end, though, I’m very proud of what I produced and I think she would be as well. Thank you for taking the time to read and for being there throughout my writing/grieving journey here on S2B2.

==Special Thanks==
To [[Aosora Hikaru]], my beta S, Kez, W2, and the folks on my Twitter for being so supportive during this process. You are all perfect cinnamon rolls, too good for this world.

Five Hours to Chicago

2015-03-02T20:04:37Z

76.227.185.66: /* Author Notes */

Five Hours to Chicago is a story written by [[Kimyō Tabibito]]. It ran in [[Issue 53]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/300658.html, and is mirrored at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/five-hours-to-chicago/.

== Summary ==
Two anxious queer kids, a 20 year old Astrovan, and a rest stop somewhere in Michigan.

''Weird, the things we'd do for the people we loved. Like hop in a rusting blue bucket and drive a thousand miles to try and get them home for an emergency, so they didn't have to fly, so they didn't need to take the meds they hated so much to be calm enough to handle the plane.''

== Author Notes ==
Five Hours to Chicago came out of nowhere on a Saturday afternoon and it felt like it would find a good home in S2B2. The working title was Anxious Queer Kid Roadtrip, and I came perilously close to just keeping that as the title. Francis, the van, is a true depiction of my very first car. He was a good van and there are times I miss him (he was great to camp in, and make out in the back of). The rest stop they stop at is...actually on the wrong side of the road on I-69, just outside of Swartz Creek (which is right next door to Flint). I took some artistic liberties and moved it to the the other side of the freeway. They end up in Michigan because they drove through Canada from Vermont, which makes the trip a little shorter and much faster, having made a similar trip myself.

Major props to my beta's for helping me with the mess of getting my tenses in the right order when I decided I needed to rewrite the whole thing from present to past tense.

== External Reviews ==
* http://harmless-one.livejournal.com/36069.html: "Five Hours to Chicago by Kimyo Tabibito is about Eliot and Riley who are on a mysterious road trip. We learn just enough about them to be very curious for more and to care. The story feels like a small moment in a much bigger one, almost like we're reading chapter 17--the calm before the storm--and chapter 18 is going to make you flip your shit. This has a lot of detail packed into a short piece."

* [https://fairyninjas.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/ssbb-53-planes-trains-and-automobiles/ fairyninjas.wordpress.com]: "Two guys driving from Vermont to Chicago (through Michigan? isn’t Michigan out of the way for EVERYTHING? why would you ever go through Michigan?), spend the night in a truck stop, and get up to some things. Curious and sweet, left me wanting more of the story."
