Title: Ship me to Carthak Rating: G Length: 153 Round: 3/A Competitor: Alanna Summary: Neal finds knowledge through injury
“Here.” Gruff affection as Neal groaned, shifting to ease the ache in his side. “Have some of this.”

“It’s bruise balm. Not poison,”
“Label me very impressed,” Neal whispered.
“What was that?”
Neal swallowed. Considered. He could, he thought, perhaps last a week. “Nothing, Lioness. Only…if you teach me how to make this, I’ll do all your sewing for a month. And be subordinate and groveling. This is the best I’ve ever seen. It always worked.”
“Neal.”
“No one has any idea it was you. I imagine that was the point, of course, but Mithros, Kel’s going to be—”
“Neal.”
“She is going to be delighted it was you all along, Lioness.”

I'd love to see you write more of Alanna/Neal -- in their bantering sort of way. This is cute as hell.
