Last Rune fic -- Interlude at Winter's End

Title: Interlude at Winter's End

Word Count: ~2700
Rating: PG
Warnings: not really -- takes place between the first and second books.
Summary: Sir Durge and Lady Beckett go for a ride at the end of winter.
Notes: This might be as close to fluff as I get. Which was not really what I started out writing -- I think I just wanted to see Grace and Durge get the chance to be friends, without an emergency or a disaster hanging over their heads. I hope it didn't turn out too mundanely.
