The original story was intended to be a one shot, but as I thought about
it, the more I was intrigued with the idea (and of course I never know just
*when* to quit) and decided to a prequel of sorts.
Well, as our musies are wont to do, I rapidly became addicted to writing
the story of these men trapped by their circumstances and their past, and
their inability to stay away from each other. The original story isn't as
relationship (ie. slash) driven as the later installments, but as I hadn't
known I was going to flesh it out, it didn't feature in the forefront of the
tale.
So...that's it in a nutshell. It's an ongoing piece still, but I will do as
Arthur commands and finish it when he's ready.
Thanks for reading - and I hope y'all enjoy it.
