Why This Must Be Read: What if Hathor had succeeded in taking over Earth? In this story, even though she keeps her First Prime Jack controlled with nishta, even after she snakes her Beloved Daniel, some connections are too powerful to be severed. Wonderfully lyrically written.

Excerpt:
Hathor's First Prime watched, face impassive, as the first mature symbiote slid down the throat of the Beloved.

There would be no marks, no scars to mar pale flesh.

When the Beloved opened his eyes he said, "Our Mother, Our Queen!" and slid to the floor, naked, to kiss the curves of her thighs. When he rose and turned his white gaze flashed and flared as it came to rest on the First Prime, and his tongue touched his lips as though remembering a taste. He smiled, almost sweetly.

So, thought the First Prime. Something of the host does survive.

Thanks for this one. I loved it. Though it had that same melancholy-inducing effect I always get from But the Night Must Fall...

But the Night Must Fall

Linky?

It's the wrong fandom for this venue. Which might be why you aren't remembering it. But the Night Must Fall (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=asynje&keyword=But+the+Night+Must+Fall-verse&filter=all) - SB/VM. VM is a Viking, SB is his Saxon slave. Plays with ideas of eternal love and reincarnation. Anytime I go back and read it I'm all weird all day.

Ah, I remember now! It's been ages, but I love the moodiness. Fortunately for J/D, they have a happier, if bittersweet, ending against their "gods" in this one.
