The Border
Injured in a war that has stretched on for years, Sergeant John Peterson guards a lonely border. Aside from passing contact with railship captains, the only person he sees is the the man who guards the other side of the border. A bad fall places John’s life in the other soldier’s hands. He’s wary of his rescuer, First Lieutenant Thomas Fellowes, but over time he finds himself drawn to his new companion. Both soldiers carry the war in their souls, but they might find peace in each other.

4.5 call-it-home stars
And this is how you write a novella, ladies and gentleman. This story had more depth and character development than some books four times its length.
Kim Fielding's The Border is about war. Love. And hope.
Set in an unspecified future during yet another vague, ravaging war (is there any other kind?), The Border packs an emotional punch.
John and Tom are on opposite sides of the war, opposite sides of the border. They are enemies. Until Tom plants a garden, and saves John's life.
Deeply moving, gorgeously written, and full of evocative, heartbreaking details about two men living a lonely, isolated existence, this novella will break you a little.
Savor some real coffee and a square of dark chocolate, open a window, be happy.
John and Tom come to realize they can believe and reap their harvest. They can build.
Because there's always hope.
And love doesn't care about borders.

Part of the Mended anthology and my favourite read of it so far.
Set in a different world in a country ravaged by what seems like a civil war. East vs West. The story centers around two opposing border guards who are separated only by a strip of dirt they call no man's land. There's an accident and one guard crosses over to help the other and so begins a tentative friendship between enemies. Like all of the stories in this anthology this is short but damn this is a good read. I finished it and immediately wished it was longer because I didn't want it to end.

Dear Ms. Fielding,
I would like to request a sequel. I am willing to compromise on the length.
That is all.
Signed,
Adam
P.S. very well done.

Set in an alternate universe where a country is separated due to a civil war (?) between East vs. West, Sergeant John Peterson guards an isolated border. He's lonely -- his only 'friend' is when railship comes to ask for his stamps in the logbooks. The only other person he sees is the 'enemy', who guards the other side of the border.
Until one day, John has a terrible accident when he falls under the ladder. And the enemy, First Lieutenant Thomas Fellowes, is the one helping him.
This was such a gorgeous story, albeit short. However, even when it was short, Kim Fielding knew how to pack a punch! I thought the friendship between John and Thomas came naturally -- two people isolated at the border of a country, where the peace talks even happened in the central, far away from where they were.
My heart just went out for these two characters. Sure they were enemies but that only meant that they used different colors in their uniform. Underneath it all, they both the same. Two men who fought war (that was not theirs) and suffering nightmares at night.
I loved how Thomas gently made John see the hope ... from the moment Thomas decided to make the no-man's-land as his (later theirs) garden, I just knew that he was the right person to break John's walls.
This was a tender lovely story and I loved every pages of it.

Good, but not great.
Being a short story, the sparse world building made it difficult for me construct a suitable environment in my head. At the same time, readers are then forced to focus attention on characters John and Tom as they become acquainted with one another through an accident. It was short, sweat, and a good choice after reading something emotionally heavy.

The Border is a sweet, feel-good, quick read from Ms. Fielding about two guys stuck in a war they don’t even know why they’re fighting anymore who form their own personal truce while guarding the border between East and West.
John should’ve been a builder and Tom should’ve been a farmer and would’ve been were it not for this incessant, godforsaken war. Both have experienced the horrors of war and have the internal and external scars to verify as much. Both are just trying to survive under miserable circumstances. Both are lonely and tired. One is cynical to the other’s hopeful optimism when an accident brings them together and bridges the divide between East and West making them just two largely forgotten soldiers protecting a border however they see fit.
Ms. Fielding is excellent at wrenching emotion from her readers. There just wasn’t enough page time for a bond to form between me and these two characters. I found the worldbuilding to be lacking as well. Aside from those two quibbles, it was a nice read which is something I’ve come to expect from this author. Great for a Sunday comfort read maybe with some cocoa.

A perfect little gem of a short story.
Distilled, beautiful writing, awesome world-building and more character depth in 52 pages than I have read in quite a while.
Highly recommended.

After reading the author's story in Stitch I knew I would like this one. She writes the moody atmosphere so well, it becomes another character in the book. This particular story had so few characters in it, so the setting and the feel were just as important as John and Tom.
My favorite line:
"The explosion that wracked his body this time was every bit as strong as the one that ruined him - but this one put a few of the pieces back together."

There have been a lot of senseless wars in our planet's history, and this story looks at the consequences of one such conflict on two men who used to fight on opposing sides. All we know is that John is a Westerner, and Tom is an Easterner. And that is all we need to know, other than the fact there is currently a truce, and they are still guarding their respective sides of the border as if the war were still going on. Sound familiar?
John has been at his post for so many years he can hardly remember time before. But the scars from his damaged leg are there to remind him, as are his failed ambitions to become an architect. His job is to inspect railships passing the border with cargo and people, but there aren't many of them and so he has lots of time to read - and to think. It is lonely past, and even though the Eastern guard is right across the fence, John never thinks to talk to him. They are enemies, right?
All that changes when John falls from the roof of his guard's hut while trying to repair it and "the Easterner", or Tom, comes to his rescue. Turns out Tom used to be a medic, but wanted to be a farmer. This and many other details are revealed as the two ex-enemies start to talk while John heals. The slow process of building trust, thinking about some hard truths, and discovering what's really important is beautifully described and I loved watching both men become human again as they turned their backs on being soldiers.
If you like enemy-to-lover stories, if you enjoy a moral message that makes you think packaged in a nicely unspecific setting, and if you're looking for a read that will make you smile and fill your heart with hope, then you will probably like this short story.

2.5 stars My rating isn't because I think this was bad. In fact it was good. A very good first chapter, and a good HFN ending... but where is my middle? I'm all for short stories, and this had the appropriate bare bones essentials of set-up. Specific enough that we understand the world/war that's going on, but vague enough that it could be anyone/anywhere.
I liked how Tom was building a garden in no-mans land so they could both harvest and enjoy it. I liked how they were both so lonely and isolated. I liked how it touched on the effects war has on those fighting it, when all they want is a reprieve and are just waiting for some politicians to agree so things can move forward. I liked how they were enemies but could barely remember why. It's a wonderful premise and those parts are very well done. Lastly, I liked the set-up of Tom nursing John back to health. But there wasn't enough of that for me to feel the connection and affection between them grow (instead it felt like, "you like guys? Hey, me too! There aren't any other options, wanna do it?"). It was only a few days, right?
I loved the story set-up, but needed more time. Even if John had watched Tom for longer in the beginning, maybe if they silently started sharing the garden and other supplies yet still never talking... then John's fall, it would have been a more realistic transition for me.
But, a lot of other people loved it. So maybe this one just wasn't for me.

A really sweet, and lovely romance. I liked seeing how the characters grew closer, and learned to trust each other. I thought the garden was a nice metaphor, and really worked well for the setting.

What's the saying about war making strange bedfellows? In 'The Border', Kim Fielding's short story, that's exactly what the author has crafted. Two men guarding their sides of the border, with barbed wire and a small patch of no man's land is all that separates them. The war that changed their nation into two, the Eastern and the Western halves, has left everything decimated.
John, a sergeant for the West, has been posted at this tiny way station hut in the middle of nowhere to monitor the rail ships traffic as they come and go. His partner, so to speak, is across the no man's land on the Eastern side. They do not speak. They do not interact. They are enemies. Until the day John falls from his roof trying to repair a shingle and Tom, being neighborly, patches him up and helps during his convalescence. It's hard to view someone as an enemy when they look just like you, share the same horror stories of war, lost loved ones, and are just trying to survive every day. Comfort, friendship and love grow from those commonalities and John and Tom realize they're far more alike than they are different.
A beautiful love story. Thank you, Kim.

First off: absolutely adorable cover!
And good little story too; it was sweet and gave a glance into a world in the midst of war, and especially into the world of two "enemy" soldiers who have scars for each other to heal.
I didn't get too emotionally involved because it seemed a bit short and John's narration felt distant to me, but I liked reading it and recommend it. It goes by quickly and is worth it :)

Okay, so I know it's not the point of this story...but OMFG you can't just gloss over the whys and whatfors of a schism that splits a country and starts a war! There are those of us that need context, and when there isn't any it starts to detract from the rest of a very lovely, poignant tale.
Also, I've never lived near a militarized/closed border, but something tells me that "aircars" (or trains or whathaveyou) can't just come numerous times a day, several times a week back and forth across borders - even with checkpoints - considering the occupants seem to always have some sort of military connection and are headed into enemy territory. I think these two factions are currently under a truce/cease-fire...but yeah, so were East/West Germany and you couldn't just get a stamp in a passport and go your merry way. Also, pretty sure the Korean DMZ isn't a place I'd want to plant a farm - even if it were possible to go back and forth willy-nilly. Sure, I guess the India/Pakistan border is kind of like this...but still. Explanation, please.
Honestly, if it weren't for the lack of details this would have been a 5-star read for me.

Above average sweet short story about two lonely veterans, posted at the border between two countries who have been at war for a long time. Now there are some hopes of a truce, but John, the narrator, doesn't want to see his hopes crushed, so he doesn't hope. Tom, the enemy, does, and slowly persuades John, till the HE ;-).

Short stories are so difficult to write. Often they are lacking in something, or not fully fleshed out enough to give you any sense of whom the characters are and what makes them tick. Most times, these kinds of stories are a slapdash affair strung together with one or two very hot sex scenes and are as quickly forgotten as they are read.
Not so with The Border by Kim Fielding—not by a long shot. Here was a story so complete, and yet it just scratched the surface of these two men’s lives. John was so desperately lonely and felt so used up by a war that had stretched on for years. Tied to an outpost on the edge of nowhere, he has no companionship other than the nameless easterner who patrols his side of the fence. With each page, the tension grew between these two men and by the time a freak accident throws them together, John is wound so tight he is about to come undone. The tenderness with which Kim Fielding ends this tale is remarkable and the hope she extends through these two characters coming together is breathtaking.

Thoughtful romantic short story about learning to hope again after war and loss. Sergeant John Peterson was disabled due to injury in a years-long civil war that's currently on hiatus during peace negotiations. Now he guards one side of an isolated railship border crossing between the opposing territories, isolated and depressed. He's crankily mystified by the actions of his counterpart on the other side. Is that guy really starting a garden in the fenced-off strip that buffers the two territories? When John is injured and meets First Lieutenant Thomas Fellowes, he finds man who's seen just as much pain and horror as John, but who's found a way to move forward. There's an attraction between them, sure, but almost more importantly Thomas is someone who can both empathize with John and model connection and optimism.
Just enough worldbuilding here to carry the emotional story, and Fielding is skilled at crafting short stories where the plot and character development are exactly the right size for the length of the piece. This is a comfort re-read for me, and it doesn't get old.

There's only three more days to the month of Daily dose for this year and I seriously thought I wouldn't het to give a 5 stars at all, but I'm happy to have been proven wrong.
I loved the story of John and Tom, two soldiers on the different sides of a border. Tom, a former medic, rescues John when the latter has a bad fall. I liked the slow building of the friendship, even though it was a short story it didn't feel rushed. We know enough of the characters' past to feel like we understand them without the story being cluttered by too much information.
It's a sweet story, well written and an interesting read. I will probably read other books from this author.

“The Border” is a story about war veterans and the scars, both internal and external, they carry. Set in a steampunk world, it is a gentle story of acceptance and healing.
I think I liked Thomas’ persistence the best. I can’t say much for fear of spoiling the story, so I won’t.
I’d recommend this story for anyone who likes stories about veterans, learning to cope with the past war and current peace, and sweet stories. It’s a lovely short about two men trying to move on from their pasts.

Two enemy soldiers--each manning a sentry post on opposite sides of a border crossing--find a sense of humanity during wartime. Without ignoring the horrors of war, this story celebrates the healing power of rebuilding after destruction and of forging emotional bonds within an unlikely situation. As always, Kim Fielding's usual deft hand with plot, characterization, and setting.
June 21, 2014
I just love Kim Fielding's writing. This is a really well done short story of two men guarding a border in a long war. When one is injured, the other steps in. They realize how far they are from the conflict and how much they've lost over the years. Really excellent and compelling story in just a few pages. Well done!

4.5, rounded off to 5⭐
A truly amazing short novella about two hurt and broken men, on the opposite sides of war and the border between their respective countries. The fact that it is only about 40 pages or so, does not take away the poignancy and beauty of the story. It is so complete in itself that it does not leave the reader dissatisfied...just wistfully wishing for a little bit more.
