Why this must be read:

Now, come back to slash before I got slashed myself! (I mean flogged with a "cat o'nine tails" by irrated and frustrated LJ users). Though, actually, this story is not slash, in the common (fanfictional) sense of the word, not even noticeably slashy or pre-slash, but the accent put on the sentimental relationship of the partners is so strong that I really cannot think about it as gen. It's fine with me since I always favored ambiguity and mixed genres.

Lee the T has already so many (well deserved) recommendations in [livejournal.com profile] crack_van that I first intended to choose a less popular story and a less known author (since my aim was always to propose a choice as wide as possible) but, eventually, I considered I couldn't leave this one outside. It was one of the first ten stories I read in MFU fanfiction and I kept a fond and vivid memory of it, because of his emotional impact and angsty suspense. I am also a sucker of "partner disparition" story, if such a category does exist.

I am not going to give more light about the plot; it wouldn't be wise. Just think: What are you still able to remember when you have forgotten everything...almost?
