Why this is a must read:

One of my favorites, Creed created an A/U that I actually liked. She really thought outside the box when she came up with this universe where all the men are bonded in pairs. Her idea was based on a band of homosexual warriors similar to the "Sacred Band of Thebes." Sergeant Zeke Anderson has recently lost his bonded partner. He's hoping to rebond with Lieutenant John McKay, but all that gets turned upside down when Zeke sees Lieutenant Myron Goldman for the first time.

It's wonderfully different and engaging and you get sucked into the whole premise immediately whether you intend to or not. It's a science fiction story, yet still very much grounded in the feel of Vietnam. And although Creed has tossed the canon universe of the series out the window, the characters are still very recognizable and believable.


Zeke shook his head and blinked, still finding it hard to feel, let alone control his body. He shifted and focused his eyes, only mildly shocked to see a body curled around him. He reached a shaky hand over and tilted the head up that was nestled against his shoulder. It was the boy from the fight earlier. Zeke ran his hand over the boy's cheek, the contact sending waves of pleasure through the bond. This felt so right. "It's him, ain't it?" Zeke murmured quietly. "My brown eyed dream. Tell me what happened."

"No… I need you to tell me," Johnny insisted. "You're bonded again, aren't you?"

"Feels like it," Zeke said distractedly. He was still engrossed in exploring the face of his sleeping bed partner. He remembered this feeling of comfort with Rusty, thinking he'd never feel this way again.

Since DC can't very well rec her own stuff, you can bet once my chance to rec comes around ME Revisited is definitely on the list. :)) I love both versions, too.

It is a wonderful and unusual story, isn't it? It was great to be able to rec it. I loved that it thought outside the confines of the series, but still kept the characters very much intact. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and ME Revisited. :)
