How utterly beautiful. I have cold snake shivers going up and down my spine.

[twhitesakura]

*Hypnotic swaying* Thank you. You do realize though, that the snakes have you, me and Alexander in their grip now. *Fanged smile*

So amazing! so beautiful! I never saw something quite as lovely and historically correct as this! kyaaa! you have to write more of this or a longer fic, you must, I demand it!

[twhitesakura]

B-But, that's where it ends! And I bet it's not really accurate at all. XD

Hmm...but since you want more, maybe I could do the fic from Hephaistion's point of view. And I've written other Alexander fics. Go to my userinfo and then to memories. I think my writing is the most poetic/pretty when I write Alexander stuff. So glad you liked!

[meyrevived]

I meant write longer fics!

I will explore the rest of your history fics when back from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow's trip ^_^

Oh! I read this fic in my office ;_; I love it!

[twhitesakura]

Thank you! I hope you didn't get in trouble reading fic at the office, though.

So powerful and poetical in the same time. It's very touching and I love it's bittersweet note. It's sad to know how Alexander's quest for immortality killed Hephaistion, but so true, nonetheless.

[twhitesakura]

Thank you for the compliment. I'm not sure if Alexander was really responsible for Hephaistion's death, though. I think they said Hephaistion died of typhus or some disease he got from drinking bad water.

[heroineanilem]

Oh, yes it's true, at least according to historians. What I meant is that Alexander's intensive way of life, constant moving from one place to another caused it in a way. Historians agree that typhus could've been brought with soldiers from any of those far places; and even if it was bad water that caused it, it's b/c Europeans weren't/aren't used to drink water in countries of Middle East and Africa.
Anyways, I ran to read other of your stories and I simply loved them all, they hold some lirical quality few people could express.

Short, powerful, and evocative. A real treat and a stunning example of the volumes that can be said with few words. Please write again in this fandom.

[twhitesakura]

Thank you for the compliments! You can find more of my Alexander fics in my LJ's memories. Unfortunately, I usually only get short bursts of inspiration, so I can't say when the next fic will happen, but I'd definitely like to continue writing.
