mcshep_match prompt: Blue Moon

Up for Team Angst is Paschal's Lamb, a story that has been described by me as "poetically written and angsty in a kind of aching and lovely way." Feel the sting of memory and the confusion of identity along with PTSD Rodney! Care with the uncertain compassion of lover John!

I'm also charmed by today's Romance story, Up to and Including the Blue Moon Ball. The premise is simple--John and Rodney, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, end up going to a social event together. The getting-together is inevitable but done gradually enough to be savored; it's especially cute that the pivotal moment involves holding hands under the banquet table. Look, the story involves one guy tying another guy's tie. That is like my Achilles heel.
