This is simply and stunningly amazing. It's been years since I read Gawain and the Green Knight, but I didn't feel a lack at all - this story pulled me in and kept me on the edge of my seat - the language is beautiful, the emotions true, the sense of time and place palpable. Utterly compelling and wondrous writing. I normally try to avoid labels like "the best" of anything, but this... this may be one of the best pieces of writing I've run across in a while, fan or pro.

Um. This story manages to totally hit my deepest, most bulletproof kink. Dionysus takes to visiting Hephaestus, and the latter is suspicious, even as he grows used to Dionyus' company, and begins wanting what he believes he can never have.
The Iliad
a stretch of gold, irresistible bypostingwhore
Exceptionally hot and lyrical Achilles/Patroclus, edged with wistfulness.
