Day 6 - In the Garden of Midas
Jan. 7th, 2013 10:46 pmThis is one of my favorite Alexander stories - taken from historical accounts, not movie or book verse.
In the Garden of Midas
Type: Historical slash
Rating: R
Pairing: Alexander/Hephaestion
Warnings: Death, underage characters but nothing graphic
Beta: Larian Elensar
Author’s Note: Alexander was 13 or so when the story begins in 343, BC. As far as I know, the dates are accurate. I do not know if he and Hephaestion became lovers at around 15 as I have indicated, but it too seems reasonable. It is said he killed his first man at the age of 12 so I think that making him a lover as well as soldier as a teen is reasonable and probable.
This is not Movie Alexander nor is it Renault's Alexander.
Spoilers: For the life of Alexander, yes.
Summary: Alexander looks back on the love of his life.
