Today's the Buddhist holiday Chokhor Duchen! To celebrate the first (and second and third and many times after that...) time the Buddha taught, let's have a little Out Of Bounds.
But first, a thank you to
perfica,
enname,
monanotlisa and
teaphile.
perfica has been more than a beta. She's been bouncing emails back and forth with me every day, sometimes several times a day, for a month now, coaxing and encouraging and generally putting gas in the gas tank to keep Out Of Bounds moving forward.
teaphile has been the one to read all of Out Of Bounds in one swoop, everything I have so far, and give me the birds eye view as to how the whole thing clicks together. This is a long story with flashbacks and two parallel plot lines that started as a little crack!ficlet. (
teaphile, I'm still working on that "faded out, what happened?" transition.)
enname has been the demanding beta on the scenes I'm posting today, asking for more, fearlessly pointing out faults. Whenever I'm really serious about a story being the best it can be I contact her because she takes a story apart with the calm of surgeon.
monanotlisa then stepped up to the plate when I was panicking and beta'd -- with pom-poms.
Thank you, guys. And now...

Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hired ex-skating champion and 'artiste' Rodney McKay to be his coach. A teasing friendship (and perhaps more?) developed between them, and a late night practice session turned sensual and intense.
