Oh thank you so much! I love the examination of the ebbs and flows of their relationship here, and how it's all mediated through Caesar.

Lines like this:
At last, he feels he is truly accepted here, at Caesar’s side. He, Antony the degenerate, remained loyal, when the honourable Brutus did not. . . .are perfect for the way he's defining himself against Brutus. And I love that moment of eye contact between them in the Lupercal scene. And Antony's anger at Brutus for denying that they are both Caesar's sons. Just perfect.

Thank you, mystery author, for writing this! (And, LOL, you never ever have to apologize to me for too much Antony).
