Gadrosia of the Stars[1] is a short story written by fawatson based on The Persian Boy, the second volume of Mary Renault's Alexander Trilogy. The story was inspired by fanart posted by innervoice_chan that provided a series of AU settings for characters from Renault novels, one of which showed Bagoas as a catman.
"Gadrosia of the Stars" takes a scene from The Persian Boy in which Hephaistion goes back to rescue Bagoas from the Gadrosian desert, and reworks it as military science fiction, with Hephaistion cast as a soldier with a plasma rifle and Bagoas as a catman who is native guide.
Comments received on the story include:
- *squints* - p-p-plasma rifle? Lt. Alexander? - K. - Well. - I suppose its no weirder than un-naturally occurring rivers in the backyard, not-a-zombie brother war-heroes in the frontyard and elephants in the driveway. - Wait. - A catman riding piggyback? - Hmmm... About those elephants.....[2]—my_cnnr
- This is really very funny. The more so since I recognize where it's coming from on both sides.[3]—greerwatson
