Red vs. Blue fic: Better Late Than Never

Red vs Blue has become one of my favorite shows recently. If you are unaware--it's a machinima web series made using the Halo games. It's ridiculous, hilarious, often heart-wrenching (this show has made me cry on multiple occasions), and filled with crude humor and language. The episodes are like 6-15 minutes long and span 15 seasons. You can find them on YouTube or the first 13 seasons are on Netflix here in the US with the episodes combined into 2-hour long movies. It's worth checking out if you're in the mood for something off the wall. Not for the easily offended.

She spun, ready to clobber him for making her wait, but then she noticed the flowers in his hand. That was new. "Where have you been?"

"Got tied up. You know how it is."
