In the Mind’s Eye Revisited: Arc 1 by DC (NC-17)
Hi, I will be providing recs for the Tour of Duty fandom this month. I was briefly delayed by an infected tooth, but will be making up for lost time. This is a small fandom but loaded with excellent writers. You can find the fandom overview here: Tour of Duty Overview
Fandom: TOUR OF DUTY
Pairing: Sergeant Zeke Anderson/Lieutenant Myron Goldman
Length: long story arc (86,000 words)

Why this must be read:
The Mind’s Eye universe was originally developed in a story written by Creed Cascade. It’s a very intriguing alternate universe, where the soldiers in Tour of Duty are bonded in pairs, based on the “Sacred Band of Thebes.” With Creed’s permission, DC took this premise and ran with it, developing two large story arcs, with plenty of room for more to come.
The first arc deals with Sgt Anderson, recently losing his bond partner, meeting Lt Goldman. Goldman resists the bond with all his being, afraid of being subsumed into another’s mind and losing his own free will. Sgt Anderson knows that their bond is unusually strong and will not be denied. The clash of wills is intense, until Sgt Anderson and Col Brewster are kidnapped by terrorists and Lt Goldman, despite being in intense pain from his resisting the bond, must lead the rescue. DC always beautifully sets the scene, describing this alien world, yet grounds it all in the spot-on characterizations she draws. Her ability to write complex action scenes is highlighted in the raid on the terrorists. If you like a nice, long, juicy read, this is for you. The second arc is equally compelling.
