School of the Tiger is contemporary British original slash (male/male erotic fiction), consisting of an open-ended series of short stories. Thom and Joseph were both born and bred in the estates of Rabford, a go-nowhere town neither London nor Essex proper, but whereas Thom strides the streets with a justifiable arrogance, Joseph... doesn't. (In chronological order, earliest first.)

Reach for the Moon
This is the story that started it, written for Ephemera's Sensory Overload original fiction ficathon and originally appearing under the title 'Grabbing Hands'. Thom tries to teach Joseph some self-defence techniques.

The Gravedigger
A few weeks later and is this another lesson? If so, who is it that's failing to learn this time?
Joe PoV. 8,900 words. NC-17.

Show Not Tell
The boys have been lovers for a few months now. Things are good, on the whole, but a dinner party becomes an unlikely catalyst for change.

Conversation Among the Ruins
The day after the night before -- a cuppa, a chat and a slow dance.
Claire PoV. 7,900 words. Hard R.

Pressure Drop
This is not entirely plotless porn, twisted fluff for the boys to enjoy before the coming storm...

Warnings and Disclaimers

If you are under the age of consent in your country, click away from this site. Stories contain adult situations, explicit male/male sex, kink and swearing.
These stories are written in colloquial first person; grammar is cruelly victimised. Brit word usage is standard -- pants are underwear, fags are cigarettes, and so on.
Readers are strongly advised not to consider any of the self-defence techniques mentioned as either valid or recommended.
My beta-readers have included Wesleysgirl, Wolfling, and Tsuki_no_bara, and I'm hugely grateful for their help and encouragement.
