The Alphabet is an abecedary by queen_ypolita based on Mary Renault's 1953 novel The Charioteer. It is set some time after the end of the novel, when Laurie is back at Oxford. Bored with the essay he is supposed to be writing, he compiles an alphabetic list.
The abecedary was written as a Treat for lanyon in Yuletide 2010. Comments included the following:
- This is truly, truly beautiful. I can entirely imagine Laurie Odell having a list like this and I just adore the little asides, like the essay he's supposed to be writing. This format works so damn well! — comment by lanyon
- This is so cute! Now, Laurie, get back to studying :) — comment by MmeBahorel
