Sorry to post a comment so late after the your story was written, but I've just started posting comments to my favorite authors so here goes...I've read, re-read, and re-re-read all your stories. You are a remarkable writer, and should, if there is any justice in the world, be published ( if that is what you want of course)The first story I read by you was "Saviour" and I was blown away by the writing. So concise and yet descriptive. It did what Renault's writing does for me, it perfectly evoked a time and a place so different from my own yet entirely believable. I know your Alexander and Hephaistion are, by your own admission, not Renault's but entirely yours, but like her you've given them maturity, strength, intelligence, and masculinity. They are real "men" here, who also happen to be deeply in love ( and lust) with each other. I enjoy many different varieties of A/H fanfiction but your take on their relationship seems very real to me, and in light of other stories I've read, very refreshing. ( I also like you keeping Bagoas in his place. I like him as well but Renault's insistence of his importance in A's life has been a source of endless irritation to me for years now) I don't know what demands real life is making on you at present, but selfishly I'm still going to ask...please write some more for us? Just a story now and then will be just fine! Oh, and thank you for the great writing!
