Fic: Like Mars Himself (Alexander/Hephaistion) Rated R
Holy shit, I wrote a fic.

Tomorrow is [info]musesfool's birthday, but she gets this today because she won't be around tomorrow. Lucky girl.

Title: Like Mars Himself
Author: Devil Doll
Summary: "Alexander felt none of that, it was obvious." Kinda angsty, but a little schmoopy, too.
Rating: R for slight slashy naughtiness.
Website: Fan Fiction I Wrote Yay!
Disclaimer: I don't own Alexander or Hephaistion, and neither to do you. I make no money off this, and intend no harm to their reputations as a world conqueror and his gay lover. Any resemblance to any other works, professional or fan-made, is purely coincidental.
Notes: Inspired by the Renault books and that infamous "Hephaistion's thighs" quote. Written for one of my best friends in the whole wide world, [info]musesfool, who has written me many stories. It was time I returned the favor. Happy birthday, Vic. I don't know what I would do without you and Bethy. *wxwx* And I'm sorry you had to beta read it yourself!

This is so FABULOUS.

I loved it in beta, and I love it now - so sweet and hot and just a touch angsty, as it should be.

It was a moment he'd hoped to have many times over, when their legs were a tangle beneath the sheet and Alexander's lips were kiss-bruised

*guh*

But he needed Hephaistion, of that Hephaistion was certain, and he needed the things they did together. He needed the touch of Hephaistion's hands and the warmth of his mouth, and the weight of him between his thighs.

YES!

*melts*

It had not been lack of desire that had made Alexander delay this moment, Hephaistion realized--it had been fear of unleashing that desire.

*shivers*

Hephaistion did nothing; it was not unlike Alexander to spurn something just when he longed for it most.

Oh, that's so them it hurts. Yes.

And in that smile Hephaistion saw that Alexander already knew, and he realized that if Alexander hadn't already trusted him, this wouldn't have happened at all.

There was nothing to say.

So Hephaistion kissed him instead.

*fans self*

The perfect ending.

I love it so much!

*flails*

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

you do realize that now you've started writing fic, you're gonna have to keep it up, right?

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it.

No! One time thing! I just did this for you. One time thing!

One time thing!

So you say.

Except there's just *so* *many* stories to tell about them! Troy! Don't you want to write about them running naked around Troy? And the Gordian Knot! And... and... and... *g*

*snugs*

I really do love it. Thanks again.

I loved this. And I didn't think it was schmoopy at all. I'd call it reflective. Lovely insight into both characters.

Thank you! I didn't think anyone but [info]musesfool and [info]cschoolgirl would be interested in this story, so I was happy to see you commented.

Holy shit, I wrote a fic.

*checks your temperature*

And what a beautifully written piece at that. Even with my limited knowledge of Alexander/Hephaistion it works well.

*waits patiently for more fic from DD*

I'll just have to wait for the next installment of Professor Logan then.

Oh, this is so lovely and so just! (Anf I love when [info]musesfool has a borthday since it means we get her prezzies...)

I wonder whether I could persuade you to come post this at [info]maryrenaultfics? We could use elegant, sensitive, infinitely perceptive Alexander fics like this!

Gah, I can't believe you just got me to read an R-rated m/m fic. *grins*

Won't say I wasn't squicked, 'cause I kept squashing the mental images before they got too vivid, but that was some damn fine writing, which I knew it would be, which is why I read. *Grins*

You sure this is only a *one* time thing? *bats eyelashes*

Well...maybe I should see if I can get you to read *NC-17* m/m fic.

i'm just re-reading your A/H fics and loving them all over again. you have such a great writing style that is just as clear and simple as it is rich and unique. i love this story. its really beautiful and awkward, like the fumbling moments of early love making.

Hephaistion did nothing; it was not unlike Alexander to spurn something just when he longed for it most.
i love this observation. its sooo very human and seemingly unlike alexander, but actually probably very close to reality ;}

Everyone else had long ago assumed him claimed by Alexander--not even Hephaistion had dared imagine the reverse could be true.
i like the idea of alexander surrendering to hephaistion (and his thighs). i really do.

your hephaistion is so easy to fall in love with.

thank you :}

Hee! Yes, I like to think so, too. I remember when I was caught up in the first rush of love for this fandom, thinking they were one of the greatest love stories of all time. *happy time*

Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
