No True Pair cutting room floor

Back when I was doing No True Pair in September, I wrote a few that I rejected, or rewrote as new versions, because I felt like they didn't quite hit the notes I wanted or needed more editing than I felt like doing, or I just didn't feel like posting them at the time for whatever reason. So here are the cutting room floor versions for your reading enjoyment.

Sept. 6 - Algy packs a lunch/meal for Erich (original version)

There's really nothing wrong with this one per se. I just wrote a different version I liked better, so I posted that one instead. But this one's still pretty fun.

Sept. 12 - Erich & Raymond - another trial

This one is basically Too Much Woobie Erich and I couldn't figure out how to fix it aside from a complete rewrite. On the other hand, if woobie Erich is your flavor, have fun; I certainly did enjoy writing it.

Sept. 28 - Biggles & Marie with the title "We're Done Here"

This one is just kind of ... sad? It's not a happy Biggles & Marie ending, but I like it.

More Biggles cutting room floor

Earlier this year I wrote Honey Trap, in which Erich's superiors sent him to seduce Biggles rather than kill him in the general Buries a Hatchet timeframe. And philomytha wrote the absolutely lovely sequel like a storm in the desert which I wholeheartedly approve and adore and 100% support. (I am always in favor of having sequels or missing scenes or remixes written for my fic, I love it, I welcome it, please do it. ♥)

In the in-between time, however, I had written (or at least started) two different versions of a sequel that I ended up sitting on and not quite sure what to do with, because Philomytha's was pretty much the exact same thing. I mean, first of all, Erich's mental state is pretty obvious at this point, and we basically share an id, and neither of these was really finished enough to post....

I was thinking for a while about maybe turning at least one of these into a completely new fic incorporating the elements I liked from this, but I didn't do that, so - here are the other sequel(s). (But please read Philomytha's, it's great!)
