Title: Choosing One's Battles
Rating: R for violence
Pairing: None. Billy stars, along with OMCs.
Warnings: AU, violence, blood. This is a flashback within my BTS universe. Stands alone, if you like, but better as part of the whole

That was amazing! It's also the first of this that I've read so now I have to go over and find more. Excellent.

OMG you're totally new! Thank you!

Boy, did you stumble into another dimension. Have fun! :D

LOL I have lurked from time to time and joined the site to get updates but this is the first thing I've read by you and I really did enjoy it. I'm going to be reading the other parts of this so you'll be hearing from me. LOL

Beautiful... in a gritty, bloody sort of way. :D

I love how Billy doesn't seem to have much choice in the matter and is clearly desperate for the cash, but still gets a kick out of being egged on and having people step out of his way afterwards. Such a man thing!

My favourite flashback so far!

Yay! Thanks so much! I'm honestly stoked people liked this, because I knew it would sort of annihiliate some the sweet lovable ideal I've built up of Billy. He was cocky and stupid and... well eighteen. And sometimes I need that vicious streak to show itself.

Thank you!

Wow, this desperate and slightly vicious Billy is a reminder that there's so much more inside him than Dom knows. Now that I think of when he punched the wall...

[suede_scripture]

Thank you! Yeah, there are things Dom won't ever really know, I think.

A fantastic one-shot; and a wonderful way to fill-in some of Billy's mysterious history prior to his job on the ship. I can totally see him doing this, especially since:

This fight would last him a good three months, if he was careful.

Wow! Gritty, dirty, cold, vicious, so realistic. But what a harsh way to earn your pounds. Still, my money would have been on Billy, too.

Thank you so much. This is brilliant!

Thank you!
