Fic: Wherever I'm With You (Numb3rs, Colby Granger/Caroline Williams)

Posting day is here! Hurrah! (And since I have a feeling I'll be sleeping in, I'm posting now.) I had so, so, so much fun working on this fic that I can't even tell you guys. I wanted to write this story since I first saw the episode. I tried very hard to make this as un-spammy as possible, but the format really only works with individual chapters, so I hope I didn't clog up your flists too badly, friends.

Title: Wherever I'm With You
Pairing: Colby Granger/Caroline Williams
Word Count: ~17,000
Rating: R
Warnings/Content: Spoilers through S6.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize. Making no money.
Summary: Since the events of "Pandora's Box", Colby Granger and Caroline Williams have kept in touch via a yearly excursion to the mountains. Now, with David in D.C. and Colby adjusting to losing his partner, Caroline has decided to make a big move that will force them to question what their friendship could become.
A/N: Caroline Williams is a character from episode 3.19, "Pandora's Box". Special thanks to ellensmithee and swingandswirl for the read throughs and hand-holding while I struggled with writing straight forward romance. And mustangcandi for those things AND her magnificent fanart to go with the story. Shower her with love, people.

Behold! A Totally Fandom-Related Post!

* Finally an SS/HG update from me. The next chapter of The Librarian's Debt is nearly finished and should be off to beta by this evening. I am enjoying the heck out of writing this one. It's been a lot of fun to get back to writing a WIP after posting nothing but finished fics for ages. And scatteredlogic, I *finally* got a pulse on your birthday fic prompt request, but I have a feeling the finished product might be a little lengthy. I'm working on it, though! It was very much inspired by seeing DH pt 2.

* I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of the fic that I need to catch up on reading. numb3rs_novella and teddy_fest started posting this week, I'm behind on reading at nextgendarkfest, and the crowley_bigbang will be posting soon as well. So much good stuff to read!
