Reactions and Reviews
There's something very evocative about time spent on shipboard, the way it cocoons the passengers within an intimate isolation that transcends time and place - and even reality. A built-in romance factor, if you will. In this instance, Napoleon and Illya are in dire need of a relaxing holiday away from their work and decide to spend a few days on Napoleon's sailboat. Of course they get more than they bargain for...The jaunt starts out pleasantly, but the intimacy of seeing an unfamiliar and unguarded side of his partner affects Napoleon in an unexpected way, disturbing many of the certainties in his universe. The sea change in Napoleon's feelings is paralleled by an equally abrupt turn of the weather, and when Napoleon is swept overboard, nothing will ever be the same again - not on this holiday and certainly not in their lives.
Di T weaves a touching, often humorous and occasionally heart-breaking tale of two men foundering for direction in the wake of these storms.[1]
Di T's stuff is characterised by strong canon and plausible and hot sex. This is a first time story with the boys absolutely in character throughout as they explore the implications of the changes they contemplate in their unique relationship. Oh - and did I mention the hot sex?[2]
