>>17 The story is from Soldier's pov. If he were an obsessive stalker, it would be normal for him to refer to the object of his lust as "his lover", especially while he has sex with him. But yeah, re-reading the story now that I'm fully awake, I'm thinking Cyan is right and I just misread the whole thing. Oops. >>18 Oh, come on. Half the people here praised the story and told the author that they love it, the other half left very polite criticism that is more about warnings than about the story itself. Some people (ok, it was just me) were confused by plot at first and needed a bit of clarification. It's not like the author was received with torches and pitchforks.
