Coming Back is a ficlet by dramadream10 based on Mary Renault's 1953 novel The Charioteer. It describes Ralph's POV at the end of Chapter Sixteen.
Synopsis
As Laurie sleeps, Ralph watches him and ponders: however happy the moment, can it last?
Background
The story was written as maryrenaultfics's 2011 Unwritten Charioteer Writing Project drew to a close, but was not a response to any of its challenges.
Comments
Comments included the following:
- "Oh! How lovely and poignant this is. Just the right amount of understatement and still with an emotional punch. Thank you so much!"—comment by trueriver
- "I do like the subtlety of this - the way it isn't just a 'happy-ever-after' ending, for, of course, Ralph's inner demons won't just disappear with Laurie's reappearance."—comment by fawatson
