Why this must be read: For one, Alara writes Scorpius like no one else (aside fromandrastewhite). For another, this story is subtle and brilliant. Why is Scorpius so attached to the Aurora Chair? What really happens when a species that craves heat is hybridized with a species that can't be exposed to it? Is Scorpius really the stuff of Shakespearean tragedy?
This story will have you answering yes to that last question. This isn't exactly a "sympathetic" portrayal of Scorpius, but it gets inside his head and makes you understand him, which is a far greater accomplishment.
This story is so plausible, so enlightening, so unflinching. You won't forget it.
