The Beginning[1] is a short story written by queen_ypolita as a treat for trueriver for Yuletide 2010.
This story features Mic and Jan from Purposes of Love and is told from the perspective of Mic, from his first meeting with Jan to the point where they become lovers, and his realisation Jan will not remain with him (but determination to enjoy the relationship for as long as he can).
Comments on the story include:
- This fits very well with my idea of what the relationship between Jan and Mic will have been, keeping Jan enigmatic, and gaining more insight into Mic. Much as I would have wished there could have been more between them, this is just right.[2]—trueriver
- How lovely to see their relationship develop. I like the picture of Jan, careless about his looks, confident and heedless; while Mic is cautious and loyal, accepting what he is given instead of demanding his due.[3]—fawatson
