Reading your Kris, Adam and Brad made me think of 1001 Nights. Kris is like Scheherazade, a virgin who slowly disarms and wins the heart of the King through wit, charm, talent and loyalty. Scheherazade was originally a virgin who slept with Persian King Shahryar even though he had decreed he would bed a new wife every night after strangling his former one at dawn. Shahryar was convinced all women were deceitful whores because his first wife had cheated on him. Scheherazade began telling a new story every night and stopped in the middle of it before dawn. Shahryar was so intrigued by her story that he spared her life. This went on for 1001 nights until Scheherazade ran out of stories to tell by which time Shahryar had fallen in love with her. Shahryar made Scheherazade his Queen and compared her to the sun (your future happy Kradam ending?). Adam is like Shahryar in terms of callousness and insensitivity due to past experience with a cheating lover. Brad is like Shahryar's first wife and the opposite of Kris. Thought you might find 1001 Nights and the character analogies interesting. Look forward to Servant Sweet #16! :)
Wow. I never read 1001 nights but I liked that snippet. What can I say it is a tale as old as time...hahah. You know I love your comments because they almost make me think :)
