"Coffee and Cigarettes" Notes--

I hesitate to call this odd little grouping of mini-fics a series, simply because they are better classified as short explorative writing samples. If anything, they are more like quick little glimpses into everyday slices of life for our two "Philanthropy" heroes. That's the only thing really tying them together. I'll start out with one--though I have a couple more written--just to see if there is interest in this sort of fic.

Some of these are humorous, some pointless, and even a few introspective ones. Most are only a few pages long. I go through "Otacon" and "Snake's" first mission together as a team, what happens when Snake can't get his nicotine fix, and even the less-than-choice location of their office. I suppose I wrote them because I really liked the portrayal of their friendship in MGS2, and sort of wanted to explore how it got to the point it did...

I don't think there are any real warnings. Sometimes the boys have a tendency to cuss, and if vague musings of former Snake/Meryl and Otacon-->Sniper Wolf aren't your thing, then you'd best avoid.

The general title takes its name from the first story in the collection. I thought it conveyed the feeling pretty well.
