My mind is working overtime trying to figure out what exactly is the history between Skye and Alec and just what the hell is making Skye twitchy around Alec.
I am really getting into this. Angst to the extreme, but... wacky-ish. Not always in a good way.
I'll try to explain without including the iffy details. The narrator, Alec, has amensia. He's also a stripper/hooker. (Heh, I lied. But you should be used to me by now.) He lives with this guy who has just come out of a 11 month coma (Lucian). Lucian's ex and the ex's present boyfriend (Bren and Ethan respectively) also feature. Ethan's best friend, Issac, knows Lucian, and Alec used to date Ethan. o.o Complicated. And then there's Skye who is just a mystery. Apart from there's serious history going on with him and Alec.
I've been reading this for around three hours. It's... intriuging.
(And now let's see just how many people are scared off by this. And my bad spelling. Since I can't be bothered to spellcheck this post.)
(If you manged to tolerate all that and are actually interested, the fic's here and is written by the brilliant Kouri. Of course, the link misses out all the spiffy warnings, so be warned. :D)
(Yes, another note. I think this has a vaguely similar idea to Ashes, also by Kouri and maybe Karasu. I'll read that next.)
(I can't believe I've gone on for around half a page about this. If it squicks you, just skip it. Nyah. I put the warning at the bottom.)
Edit: I want more history, dammit.
