The Bellwether/Ronin by debutante9

I came over here to gush excitedly about the new chapter of Ronin that's been posted and I realized that there isn't a thread for it 

So, pimpage:

Start with The Bellwether -- RPS Jake/Heath, told from Heath's POV... Jake visits Heath who is living in a Brownstone in Brooklyn with Michelle and Matilda and stuff happens from there. Ok, I'm bad at summaries but what I can say is that this is some of the best writing in this fandom and I'm not a huge RPS fan usually. The chacterizations are beautiful, the dialoge is brilliant... the story is stark, quiet, believable.  It starts here:

Then Ronin the sequel -- only two chapters in, told from Jake's POV this time, Jake and Heath dealing with their relationship, not being publicly a couple and being separated too much of the time (for them, we get to see the moments when they are together). It starts here:

You should just be able to scroll through her journal to get to subsequent chapters.

And feel free to jump in those who have read it with a better explaination/summary than I'm giving

For those who are reading, I'll go ahead and say here's the newest chapter:

Chapter 2 -- Manifest Destiny

The Bellwether is on the top of my RPS pile-I've pimped it myself (but made no money).

Go to know Ronin is happening. Will down that one before I move on to
<sigh> delMar Painting chapter 36

And I wish I had been reading when it was "active" because I constantly want to comment and feel that it is too late.

But we are talking Bellwether aren't we.

I love RPS. It lets me have E/J with happy ending and not mess with canon (cuz I need happy).

The Bellwether and Ronin are by far two of the best RPS stories out there. Kumari has my vote as the woman who knows Heath and Jake inside and out

Agreed! She's got my vote, too.

I started re reading The Bellwether this morning... I barely have time to read anything, you'd think I'd read something I hadn't read before, but I just love this so much and the newest chapter of Ronin made me long for Kumari's Heath and Jake.
