This is the continuation of my Fan Fic Fun entry for January of this year.

Adam and Joe are forced to spend an unplanned night in the woods rekindling old coping skills after Joe is injured in a riding accident. SJS fans will recognize a familiar theme. Those types of stories are alive and well, and don't require contributions from me. Nonetheless, I have raised my right hand, and freely admit to using Joe as a conduit to Adam, my eternal and true intended target. Cheesy grin...
