Why this must be read: Two men meet on a train and form an
instant connection. This is a modern-day Q/O story or in fandom terms an AR
(alternate reality). Of all the stories in this series, and there are many!
This first one remains a favorite. You feel more an observer than a reader
privy to something special unfolding in words and thoughts and small details.
A classic romance you'll read more than once.

Professor Quinn Masterson boarded the Amtrak train at Penn Station and
looked for an empty seat in Business Class. This was not an easy task during
Monday morning rush hour. Somehow, Quinn managed to look crisp and unrumpled
in his navy suit, despite the heat outside and his commute to the station.
He was on his way to Mace University in Windover, Massachusetts for a two
day conference on Tolkien's wizards.

Quinn finally spied a seat covered with newspapers next to a flame-haired
young man in jeans. "May I?" he asked, ever polite, although technically any
free seat was fair game. Quinn tracked the man's eyes as they swept over
him, higher and higher...and higher.

"Yes, of course," the young man answered, as he bundled the paper into the
seat pocket.

The conversation was clearly over for Quinn, who pulled out a copy of The
Fellowship of the Ring and began to read.

This is my final rec of the month. It's been fun as always. Until we meet again,
may the Force be with you! xx
