18 parts Complete MatureWild Horses started in early 2005 following a chance encounter in which my Karl Urban muse met Slashfairy's Viggo Mortensen in a roleplaying game. The two muses clicked instantly, we decided that we liked writing together so we started writing outside of the RPG, and as the writing developed we realised that these muses were actually building a life together, through the stories.
It really started when Karl and Viggo bought a house in Pismo Beach, a town on the California coast halfway between LA and SF. They renovated it together, turned the garage into a studio, shared their home with each other and with two dogs. But Viggo missed Orlando too, so Karl schemed a scheme and arranged for Orlando to come and visit. The visit turned out to be permanent; Orlando and Sidi moved in with them, so two became three, in what Orlando nicknamed the "House of Trouser".
The "Wild Horses" nickname came from a comment that Viggo made; Vild heste (in Danish), creatures untethered, un-corralled, but choosing to run together for a little while, in their own little herd. Hence, their own nicknames, Pferde for Karl and Heste for Viggo, each meaning "horse" in German and Danish respectively.
Goofy and funny at times, other times heart-wrenching and poignant. Rated for graphic male/male intimacy from the start.
