Till the storm of pleasure dies: From the bedpost and the rocks Death’s enticing echo mocks...

This is based on characters from Mary Renault's The Charioteer. They belong to her and I make no profit from them. This is PG17 at least... Maybe PG25. ;-) An abundance of "ketchup".

Loved this part, dear. It's good to have them back together, though it's for too short a time. I love the tender way that Ralph cares for Laurie and how he makes sure that Laurie will be notified if the worst should happen.

I had to grin with the way Ralph snuck in the bit about the signed contract.

Very nice fic.

Thank you! I am so glad you liked it. Hehe Yes, he snuck in about the contract.

This was a nice little treat. I'm so happy Ralph signed the contract, but the ending seems so bittersweet. Gotta love those boys!

I'm glad it was a nice treat. Hehe I thought maybe I should stop teasing as you commented before. ;)

Poor boys are going to be apart a lot before they can really be together. I suppose that is the nature of war.

Sad but true. Laurie knew what he was getting himself into with Ralph still in the navy but it still pulls a little on the heart strings.

It's really hard with no idea how long it will last, too. It's not like the wars now where people have a set tour of duty.
