If my loyal audience is enjoying reading this even half as much as I'm enjoying writing it then we're definitely having a good time. Thanks, everybody!

Chapter 6

In which the Rev. St. John repents His Weakness, rides in a Howdah, makes an Unpleasant Realization and begins to reconsider His Mission.

************************************************************************

St. John emerged from his bed as the last stars were leaving the sky and walked along the road to the entrance of the great estate. He tried to compose himself to the extent that he could look Cpt. Aquilaine in the eye without blushing in shame or worse-his dream had awoken not only debased thoughts but unexpectedly fond feelings as well. Have I long felt thus about the Captain, or am I merely deceived by the echoes of this impure vision? I pray it is the latter; brotherly affections are a gift from God, but what my soul and body seem to hope for is something tainted.He recited psalms, sang a hymn and, in short, made nearly every good attempt to purge his ( ... )

ANON, YOU HAVE BROKEN ME. It was all so intense and wonderful and HEARTBREAKING. And I love the contrast between Marcus and St. John, how one is patient and forgiving and the other is a sharp-tongued reverend who reacts too quickly and regrets too much.

I love this so much. Totally making my life!

Author, what are you doing to me? You are so amazing I can't breathe while reading the progression of their story. All the chocolate in the world is yours, seriously.

Trying not to cry and FAILINGGGGGGGGG, this was equally awkward and hot and romantic and heartbreaking and... i think that is the same thing MissP said, but she is my brain twin so I don't even care.

oh god, St. John, his whole WORLD VIEW has got to change in order for this to have any happy ending, and I cannot WAIT to see what you do next!

"Cpt. Aquilaine sighed and whispered sleepily, “you have no idea, St. John, how much I am enjoying this night. You cannot possibly know.”"

This is the sweetest line ever. I awwwed when I read it.

St. John is going to suffer so prettily. Marcus is going to be all pissed off and confused. This is going to be so epic.

A beautiful update! I swooned and cried and fanned myself, and then sniffled a little more. I love everything.

Oh my god this was beautiful and so so sad and I cried every time St.John cried and then I cried some more.

This is absolutely incredible!

Splendid! And St John's self-flagellating is admirably Victorian!

I knew it would be superb and it was even more so than I had imagined!

Just having his glove removed and his exposed skin kissed is such an intense exeprience for St.John. This is amazing.
Imagine if Marcus explore even more foreplay! Once he wins another battle against the reverend's virtues and taboos, that is...

Also, I liked that before, when he was still furious, he did think of going back for limping capt Aquilaine under the rain. I love the way you show how they love each other through gestures like that.

Then, I found realistic that sexuality is not instently pleasurable for him. Seing his lover's face intently focused on sex isn't arousing for him. But then, your Marcus is so tender and understanding. It was really touching.

I love how he drew a parallele with St.Peter, crying three times before sunrise. Poor St.John is so harsh on himself.

As others stated before, your story should be a classic published book!

This was my thought process while reading:

NOOOOO
\o/! \o/! \o/!
*heartbreak*
*warm fuzzies
*heartbreak*
*enormous fondness*
*OMG HEARTBREAK*

This was such an awesome chapter. :D

Oh, NO! I can't decide who I feel more sad for;
Marcus, because he must be so happy to have his heart's desire fulfilled and has no clue that he's in for it to be broken, or St.John, who's a victim of cruel religion and tortures himself.
When he had that epiphany, thinking There can't be evil in something so wonderful, I was like: Yes, yes! Hold on to that! But of course, he couldn't.
Can't wait for the next part and how it'll all turn out.
