If you're in the mood for a magical, fairy-tale like fantasy, this story fits the bill. It takes place in a mystical valley between two moutains where villagers celebrate a festival once a year to bless the harvest.When boyhood friends Shoa and Jaith are chosen they have no idea what they're in for. Once the ceremony is over and done with they need to find a way of dealing with what has happened, and I thught that development was as interesting as the idea of the ceremony itself.
4.5 starsThis was a short story but it packed a lot into those pages. The writing was very fluid and lyrical in tone. I could feel the youth and vitality of Jaith and Shoa right away.

I liked this short (33 page) story. It has a very fluid and lyrical? style.

What I still cannot get over is how this was 33 pages yet it was so complete and so good that it felt like a lot more than that. So much gets done and shown. And the story itself is very well-crafted and just incredibly hot. Which might not seem like a big deal but trust me. It is. I wish a lot more gay romance/erotic fiction was as...

Short story with childhood friends called upon to enact an ancient ritual (which, of course, turns out to be erotic).Reminded me of The Mists of Avalon scene (go watch it :P) with Arthur and Morgaine getting it on during a fertility ritual. (hmm... should stop putting of reading the Marion Zimmer Bradley book the movie was based on...)
