Writers Choice: LINKS OF PASSAGE

[carabele.livejournal.com]

A couple of years ago there was a discussion on mfu_canteen about what the each of guys might collect and bluemeanybeany mentioned cufflinks for Napoleon. This set my mind off on a story tangent and the result was the following tale, which has remained one of my very favorites of any I have written:

Name: LINKS OF PASSAGE
Genre: GEN / Mild HET
Rating: R (because of the one het sex scene)
Warning: Adult Situations (contains one scene of mildly explicit het sex)
Word Count: approx 14,900
Timeline: Spring 1974 with flashbacks from 1936 to 1969
Summary: Napoleon owns dozens of pairs of cufflinks. Is there more to the collection than meets the eye?

NOTE: The link above is to the PDF version on my website. I think that is the best way to read this story since you can view my interpretative pics of each set of cufflinks used in the tale there. But for those who prefer a straight HTML link: here is the story on fanfiction.dot.net.

what a wonderful life to remember your life

Yes, and it does have the ring of our Napoleon about it, doesn't it? Using a bit of "sartorial splendor" to mean so much more than simply that.

I loved "Links" when I read it for the first time. It one of my favorites of your stories, so it was nice to revisit it. Thanks for reposting it here.

So great to have a place to give it additional play long after its original posting.

Yes I agree, it's nice to have readers revisit a story that was posted a while ago. It was Glenna's idea, and then I just ran with it.
