Riding high on Alexander love

[pollitt]

Having just returned from the movie tonight...dear god, girl, you have me choked up yet *again* tonight (the first time was during the movie).

Excellent and touching stories. Amazing job.

I envy your writing.

You're quite welcome. I honestly need to go see the movie again--it makes me want to write!

This is the most perfect Alexander/Hephaistion fic I have read. It's just so romantic, passionate, and makes me go gaga over the superb writing and the skillful characterizations. It brings a tear to my eye and makes me want to read Mary Renault all over again. LOVE IT! FUCKING LOVE IT! The best fic that really captures what the relationship is all about. Thanks for sharing this with us. I know we all have day jobs and you are not paid for this, so this is obviously a labor of love. Thank you. THANK YOU again for sharing this with us.

Will there be more? *crosses fingers*

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback! I'm so glad you felt this was close to their relationship because it's a relationship that i've come to really love about Alexander and I wanted to try and communicate the way i perceive it. Thanks for reading and commenting, it means a lot to me :) i'm hoping there will be more.

Wonderful.

I like it when Hephaistion lets Alexander have it. Plus I am a huge sucker for any story that is more then smut.

I am very new to this fandom and loving it. I have always been interested in Alexander and Hephaistion. I avoided Renault's books because I disliked Bagoas so. I am very glad that a couple friends talked me into reading her books now.

I love Hephaistion bunches and bunches. I hope you continue to write more.

i love it when Hephaistion lets him have it too! it's like, who else would dare? if his mother did it, he wouldn't listen, but hephaistion...

glad your friends convinced you! after FFH I was sure that i would hate Bagoas because she'd done the Alexander/Hephaistion so completely and poignantly before, but i should have known she would be able to handle it well.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! Very glad you enjoyed this. :)

Like its predecessor, this fic is going into the Alexander section of my memories. I really love how you captured their personalities. Hephaistion was my absolute favorite character in Fire From Heaven; I'm about a third of the way through The Persian Boy and although I like Bagoas by himself, his whole "I-love-Alexander-so-much-that-I-wish-Hephaistion-would-go-impale-himself-on-a-spear" thing is really bothering me. You just don't mess with Hephaistion.

Having said that, I love this fic for its confirmation of the loyalty and love between Alexander and Hephaistion after Bagoas arrived.

I am so glad and honoured that you liked this and felt it was in character. i rather resented Bagoas somewhat, too, when i read TPB, and felt for Hephaistion so much, which is why i felt such a need to validate his place in Alexander's life with these little fics, i guess. i think by the end of the novel i resented him a little less, though. and ultimately, he is a beautiful character, whatever petty thoughts i may harbour on Hephaistion's behalf :D

Anyway. Thank you again for reading and commenting, i'm very glad you enjoyed this!
