Story 230: "Diamonds and Rust" by Mustang Sally

I admit it. I have been resisting reading this fic solely because of the title. I'm an old hippie. The song, written and performed by Joan Baez, starts playing in my head the second I see it and I can't get it out again. But I've received several requests for this story over the years from a dear friend and loyal member of this community, so here it is at last.

TITLE: Diamonds and Rust (Not part of the Syntax Universe) [meaning her fic "Syntax and Measure"]
AUTHOR: MustangSally
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT: ATX. Whatever
SPOILER WARNING: None [It was posted sometime in Fall, 1997]
CONTENT WARNING: NC-17 (Adult situations and language)
CLASSIFICATION: MSR
The Disclaimer: As Oscar Wilde said while going through customs "I have
nothing to declare except my genius."

The writer is top notch. I have it on excellent authority that the sex is hot.

And yeah, okay, the song is pretty good, too.

For feedback to the author, I don't think any of the old email addresses will work. But, you could PM her at [livejournal.com profile] mustangsally78. Getting feedback on old fic that you think no one new has heard of, let alone read in the past 10 years, is a Good Thing (I hope). Besides, you never know. She might write us something new.

Read Diamonds and Rust. (Also at Gossamer.)
