Reactions and Reviews
I've been pestering Lorna to get this story archived so I could rec it. Set in the medieval future, this vignette shows Hercules in despair, without breast-beating or hair-pulling. Lorna's more subtle than that, and lets us see it in his gestures, in his fascination with the spider crawling up his leg as he sits in prison. Then Ares appears, and in Hercules' reaction, we see that Ares means more to him than simply a leather-clad punching bag. Oh, it's not sweet and light--don't worry. Ares is vicious here, revitalizing Hercules with hard blows and harder truths. This is where you might expect a joke about a third hardness, but the story's more suggestive about their relationship; it less thrusting hips and naked limbs than hot looks and touches. It's surprisingly short, this story, and packed with strong emotions. [1]
