Retreat by MC (PG)
Fandom: SWORDSPOINT
Pairing: Alec/Richard
Length: circa 2K
Author on LJ:
threewalls
Author Website: Master Story Index here.
Why this must be read:
Given the interval between Ellen Kushner’s Swordspoint and The Privilege of the Sword, during which it is clear that the lovers Alec and Richard have separated, it’s no surprise that writers have sought to fill in the blanks. MC’s Retreat provides an elegant and unsentimental coda to Swordspoint that alludes without overt spoilers to the events of Privilege.
‘"Richard hadn't been watching the clock, but it had been light when he asked if anyone would be very annoyed with Alec in coming weeks and it wasn't any more."’
