Imperfect Likeness

(Jake and Tessa ficlet (and Keiran mostly by implication). Post Wrap-timeline)

~*~*~

The first time Jake asked Keiran to teach him how to properly service the wyverns, it went like this:

"...There is an entire university program designed around doing just that."

"Yeah, but I'm good with cars. And, uh... mechanical... things."

And he was met with stony silence.


( The second time didn't go any better for Jake... )

When all that's left is tying up loose ends...

( Part 32 )

Cops, twice in one day? Sheesh.

( Part 21 )

So, in the process of posting part 18, I realized a scene got left out between, oh... part 5 (which needed a minor edit as well) and part 9. >.<

The missing chunk goes like this, and should fit in the Jake/Keiran timeline after they meet and before they go out to dinner.

( missing scene )

... actually, somewhere in the transferring of fic from my journal to the comm, a conversation between Jake and Keiran got left out entirely. *facepalm* *headdesk* *repeat* Farq. And, of course, I can't backdate entries on a comm. Feck!

Revised index of chapters. Thanks for your patience. Inserted part 6b and added the scene above into part 9.

Posted at roadtrip_fic and reposted here: To the Distant Shore.

Post Wrap Jake/Keiran fic. Set about a year and a bit after the (as yet unwritten) end of the main fic. As mentioned in the notes, I've tried to avoid spoilers for the ending, but as always, things are subject to change without notice. ^_^;

Warnings: Not worksafe. m/m sex. Deals with death of a character, although no one actually dies in the fic.

Jake wakes up, and the day gets worse...
