lb_lee: A glittery silver infinity sign with a black I.S. on it (infinity smashed)
Title: Red Roses, Old Horses
Series: Infinity Smashed
Summary: On Valentine's Day, Bob and Grey have a case that goes horribly wrong, fall into 9/11 Orwellian hell, and get laid.
Word Count: 14,000
Notes: The winner of the Patreon/Liberapay poll this month! This story has a long history; it was first started back in 2004 and spawned a whole book in its wake. It's also known as the Mac Dies Story, because it was how we first became aware of his existence--we felt bad for this random unlucky schmuck and wondered who the hell he was. Content warnings for death, 9/11 paranoia/xenophobia, and consensual sex.

A 2007 colored pencil illustration of PIN personnel (clockwise from top left: Dean, Mac/MacIntire, Jenny, Ebony Larkin, Bob, Grey, and axed characters Maureen, Bigg/Faro, and Smith) in photos, scattered across pages of notes, bullets, shed rose petals, a StanG pocket dictionary, and a hydrocodone Rx for Grey.

Jenny pulled up at 5:30 AM, all bouncy brown curls and schadenfreude.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Bob,” she crooned.

I glared at her over my coffee and climbed in with a grumble. Witty comebacks had to wait until after caffeine.

The healthymultiplicity.com update still needs to happen, but the next chunk of Alter Boys In Love has been uploaded! The progress so far:

Leap of Faith: The story of how Rogan and Mac got together.
(new!) You Are Home: Rogan asks Mac to marry him and ruins soup in the process.

As before, the text-only script version for the whole book is here.
