http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/2206361Summary: Major Klaus von dem Eberbach and his Alphabet are called in to investigate the disappearance of one of the agents - and his reappearance in a cult. Dorian Red, the Earl of Gloria - better known to them as the thief, Eroica, is called in to help with the investigation. But will the cost be too high?
I am very pleased with how it turned out, for my first Eroica story.
And I received the following FIVE (that's 5!!!!) stories as gifts:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1100703Summary: Klaus twisted his wrists in the manacles above his head, testing to see how much room he had to work. Nothing. The idiots had, for once, done a competent job in securing a prisoner.
Review: A fantastic little story, with Klaus showing a surprising kink, and Eroica taking advantage of it. I have been wanting THIS STORY for a LONG time, and boy, did I get it! The characterizations are perfect, and the kink is delightful.
Title: Claudia

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1080713Summary: Klaus and his team need some help infiltrating a club with an exclusive members list.
Review: Another kink of mine! Cross-dressing! The MAJOR cross-dressing! *fans self* Perfect characterizations (just how you'd imagine Klaus reacting to having to dress as a woman for a mission, and Eroica taking as much advantage as he can while being helpful and sympathetic). I loved every bit of this story, and could easily imagine it as being canon. The ending had me rolling with laughter.
Title: What Are All These Kissings Worth?
Fandom: In & Out
Author: Rebecca

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1070239Summary: Months after the wedding debacle, Howard's life is mostly back to normal. Only his love live is lacking in, well, everything, and it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon.
Review: This is such a perfect addition to the movie, as Howard adjusts to being gay and out of the closet (not that he knew he had a closet to begin with). It's not an easy road for him, there aren't any quick romantic fixes for him, and because of that, it feels very true to the characters. Howard is just as prissy as ever, and just as reluctant to make any drastic changes to his life. Peter is both brash and sweet, and it is lovely to see them taking their first few steps into a possible future together.
Title: A Matter of Conscience

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1093533Summary: The conversation haunted James.
Review: A lovely little drabble, set during the past as revealed in Life Born of Fire, and just so perfectly like Hathaway that it made me shiver.
Title: A More Perfect Union
Fandom: Lord John Grey
Author: Isis

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1094920Summary: Lord John definitely has a 'type'...
Review: A beautiful little drabble - and yeah, John definitely has a type (and I won't ruin for you who his new crush is on). It made me smile.
