I can certainly tell that this was written by someone familiar with the area! It seems part story, part travelogue/local history documentary.
While I'm personally a little uncomfortable with the yaoi overtones to this story, I find the idea of Ken and Joe taking a driving vacation interesting. I'm still wondering what the connection was to all of these strange events that occurred... it seems too much to be coincidental.

That's my lame offering. The prompt was Joe x Ken. What happens when they try to relax. There was the option of smut with a comedy of errors.
I tried to avoid the cliches: our guys having a run-in with the local rednecks, then pissing off the sheriff, who then wouldn't listen to them when they tried to warn him about Galactor. And either Katse (in any form) showing up, or some Galactor goons.
I wanted to use a few things that happened at Central State, but I figured that might violate the code of ethics, so I held off.
(The tour of the Old Governor's Mansion is rather interesting. I've been on it.)
Shhhhh! You're supposed to hold of on any revelations for a few more days. Please.

Sorry.
NP, given the situation, it's an easy mistake to make.

Such a detailed description from the very beginning to the very end! So appreciated by one who has never visited the place like me, and who longs to restart her travelling habits after a long period of compulsory halt from such an activity! All in all, with all the glitches involved, the two have managed to have their holiday, for a change! Thanks a lot for such an informative journey!
I like the mundane tone of this, with just a hint of undertones from the "Vacation" franchise. It is reminiscent of real life vacations.
My one question would be are they looking for Galactor in their mishaps out of habit or is their vacation serving double duty, again?

It's a vacation. They got lucky.
I've been through several of these places, but I've never been able to stop and check things out like Ken and Joe did. Like TJ, I'm not a yaoi girl, but it was fun seeing the two guys take a road trip together!
Liked the description of the area around Atlanta. When I lived in Florida we ran through there several times a year going home to visit relatives in MD. In fact I could almost follow along the route they were taking. A friend of mine lives off I-20 and 75 will take you all the way to Louisville KY. Great story, makes me yearn to go on a road trip.

A very nice fic, UW. And it's nice to see something so unusual as members of the team going on vacation and Galactor not showing up!

That was a very detailed story and even before I read UW announce she wrote it, I had kind of guessed it had to be from someone who lived in the area.
Nice to read something where the boys are able to relax.

Prompt: Something with Ken x Joe. If smut, then maybe a comedy of errors, nothing too serious y'know? If whoever is not a smut person, then something that showcases the two boys trying to relax when not 'on duty'. Gatch is my favorite, but BoTP would be fine too.
