Why this must be read: A duel between the two Men leads to... Well, a duel between the two Men. I love the dialogue in this piece and how it fits flawlessly with the feel of the text. The ending is quite successful, setting aside the clichés too often found in slashfic and aiming for something more honest, if not necessarily satisfying. Plus, on top of all of that, it's really quite hot.

"But though you may be loved by elves, and fostered by them, and sing their songs, it is Men whose blood dominates in your veins, and among Men you will be counted when you die."
