Miles To Go (or, that road trip fic)

Looking For: ONE BETA-READER
Already Have: 2 writers, 1 artist

ABOUT THE FIC
Title: And Miles To Go
Verse: Games - III/IV/V
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Green, Red, Leaf, Ethan, Pikachu, Eevee. Established Leaf/Green; other pairings develop during the course of the fic.

Summary: After Red's descent from Mt. Silver, Leaf leads him, Green, and a rather unexpected tagalong on a road trip through Unova. Red is aimless, Ethan wants what he can't have, Leaf hopes for the best, and Green isn't sure where he stands anymore.
Snippet:
Leaf leans forward and presses a kiss to his cheek before heading for the elevator. Red looks up from the floor, staring as she walks away.

A moment of silence passes as Green waits for Red to step out the door. He busies himself with - rather pointedly - pulling his keys out of his pocket, but Red remains where he is, staring.

After a few seconds, Green looks up and meets his eyes. “Are you coming or not?”

Red doesn’t reply, staring in that unnervingly flat way of his.

Green bristles, his hands squeezing into fists. “What?”

The former Champion raises a finger and points at Green’s chest. “Your tie,” says Red, “is ugly.”

Green stares for a moment in silence before turning away. “Thanks for the fashion advice,” he grits out.

The other man shrugs and - finally - makes his way out of the apartment.

Sticking his key into the lock rather viciously, Green runs his tongue over the pointed edges of his teeth and resolves, bitterly, to count the hours until they can return home.

Word Count: ~4,500 (and rising quickly)

Author's Notes: Since there are two of us working on this fic, and also because we're writing pretty quickly to try and meet the deadline, we would love to have a beta-reader who can not only help smooth out any potential difficulties in making our writing styles fit well, but also catch little speed-typos, missing words, accidental tense changes, etc. Again, we'd like a beta who's familiar with all the characters involved in the fic, since we're digging pretty deeply into their heads. Pacing and imagery is important to us, so we hope it'll be important to you, too! We'd appreciate anybody who could help us out, and we're looking forward to working with you!
