deborah_judge, are you saying that Reb Saunders is silently and angstily in love with Professor Malter? Or the other way around?

reserve, I came here through deborah_judge's link, and I'm very glad I did. I have wanted The Chosen slash since I discovered that slash existed. I love these boys, and their talk about the Messiah, and their sexual tension and their glasses and their Freud. Thanks for writing them.

Here via deborah_judge, and like others before me, I'm amazed and pleased and deeply satisfied by your choosing to write this pairing, and write it so well. You capture the tone and setting of the book, of Reuven's voice, so well. And Danny is marvellously characterised. This is perfect. Thank you so much.

And I don't want to take my hand off your knee. I like your knee. It’s a nice knee, rounder than mine.”

That is my favorite line. I love it to death overall, but that's the one for me, b/c it's so fresh.

And weird and abrupt as it may be, I added you as a friend, cuz you seem like an interesting person. Whee!

Dude, The Chosen blew my mind when I read it a few summers ago. Where did you find a link to this? And thanks for reading! I am here to fill a void.
