Lost, But Never Alone by Dani [R]
Fandom: TOUR OF DUTY
Pairing: Myron Goldman/Zeke Anderson
Author on LJ: unknown
Author website: Notes From the Underground
Why this must be read:
Characters A and B are in love, but get in a fight. Character A gets amnesia and doesn't remember he loves Character B. Character B angst-fest. Character A gets his memory back, more angst, renewed love. Happily Ever After.
Sound familiar? It's a fandom classic and we keep coming back to classics because we enjoy reading them. I enjoyed this story for that reason. I enjoy seeing how writers take the classic formula and apply them to different fandoms, making it work for those characters.
Tour of Duty is a small fandom, but does have the classics we enjoy, such as this one by Dani. It's a post-war fic. It also features Myron in another Tour of Duty canon fact for many: Myron as an English Professor/Academic (yummy).
Standing over him, Zeke closed his eyes and took a deep breath, striving for control. He was going crazy with worry about Myron. His behaviour was getting worse and worse. He smoked instead of ate, and he was drinking himself to sleep more often than not, as if he didn’t care if he never woke up. Zeke just did not know how to reach him. Myron pushed him away every time he tried. He unclenched his fists with deliberation, and opening his eyes again, he spoke with exaggerated calm. “LT, you’re out of control here and acting crazy. You gotta let me help you.”
Ignoring him, Myron dragged himself up off the couch and started to shove past Zeke, intent on heading for the bathroom, maybe he’d be able to keep down another aspirin. Zeke grabbed his arm to stop him and whipped him around to face him. Myron irritably tried to yank it away, but Zeke wouldn’t let go and he held his arm fast until Myron finally gave up and silently glared at him with angry dark eyes.
Zeke’s blue eyes were deadly serious as he looked at his furious young lover. “Dammit, LT, I mean it! I’m not gonna sit here and watch you try to kill yourself!”
