The War Inside is a slash Wiseguy 238-page anthology of first time fiction by Natasha Solten.

Summaries below from the publisher:

  • The War Inside, a novella: (A 20-page prequel to this novella was written over 20 years ago and published in the zine Dyad 3.) Vinnie wrestles with his growing feelings for Sonny while learning that Sonny himself has started to question his own choices in life and may be feeling an urge to run. Both men face off only to realize they think more alike than they ever realized, and may actually share the same dreams of a different future together.
  • The Safe House: What if, after hours of being trapped in the old Rialto, beaten, exhausted and desperate, Sonny starts trying all the exits again and one of the doors flies open? This story starts with an escape, a gun, a stolen car and a drive into the mountains that will change Sonny and Vinnie’s lives forever.
  • The Three O'Clock Drive: After Vinnie is taken out in the middle of the night on suspicion of being a cop and almost killed by Sonny and his henchmen, he finds himself in an awkward and ironic position of feeling betrayed by the man he is in the process of betraying. The truth of Sonny’s friendship and what it means to Vinnie sheds new light on his conscience and brings to the surface feelings he can’t deny.
  • Don't: Sonny’s coming onto Vinnie and Vinnie is finding it harder and harder to say no to him.
  • Dark Deeds: Sonny the tempter seduces a reluctant Vinnie to the dark side where things do not go at all as planned.
  • The Weather Outside, a novella: While Vinnie watches Sonny sleep, he makes a decision that changes everything. The result: they are separated for three long months. Each faces agonizing introspection, and a love that refuses to die.
