Author: hardboiledbaby
Fandom: Nero Wolfe

Author notes: For the fan_flashworks "breakfast" challenge. Written to giglet's prompt: Fritz's thoughts of feeding Archie. Well, sort of.
Summary: Mr. Wolfe was eccentric, of course, had ever been so, but this was completely unprecedented. Missing scene from In the Best Families.

Title: The Communion of Contact
Author: hardboiledbaby
Fandom: Nero Wolfe
Pairing: Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin
Rating: PG-13
Length: 401 words
Content notes: none
Author notes: For the fan_flashworks "communication" challenge. Written to mellifluous_ink's prompt: Canon says Wolfe has an aversion to touch, and a demonstrated dislike of sentiment. What if these are linked, and Wolfe uses touch to communicate sentiments he thinks words cheapen and cannot adequately describe--like love?
Summary: Even for Wolfe, there are things and times in life for which there are no words.

Bonus points if you work in the idea of them being like a family." Nearly everything I know about pool I learned online, so please pardon any faux pas I've made in that area (or blame Wikipedia *g*).
