Before writing some stories that scratched my itch, I was a reader here and elsewhere. Deidre, Caesar, Scouries, Ronbo, Rlfj, Switch Blayde, Lubrican, ElSol, Wayne Gibbous, Lazlo, Nick Scipio, and many others have entertained me, made me think a bit, and helped inspire me to write a few things down.
Fidèle is a truly wonderful story by Barahir. He's created several characters that now almost a week after the final epilogue, I'm still thinking about, debating, and rereading. I almost never reread long stories. Too many other things to read. I've read the (no spoilers) ending several times now, and in fact, went back and started rereading the whole thing. It's that good. If you haven't taken a look, you should.
