I love all of the behind the scenes of Mariska and Raul. I started thinking of what might be going on if these pictures were "in character" If you have any pictures you would like me to write on please let me know. You can see the pictures as I write them on my Tumblr page The Magical Shipper.

He only wanted to start life afresh, away from war. He would get his wish… but not quite in the form that he expected. Overlaps (and extends) the events of Mad About The Boy to fill in Scott Wallaker's history. If you liked that book, you'll probably like this story.

Two years ago, she told him that she'd get him out if he ever ended up behind bars wrongfully accused of a crime.
