On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

It's a lot like working cold case now. sigh.But I think you'll be pleased, Anne. Only one for the first week features Tormented! Timmy prominently(Clinicallydepressed, poor baby.)Edited because clinically, much like that situation, works better with an "i" in it

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know *I* love it when I get a history lesson with my fanfic:

In the Greek era sex was like the copulation performed by the most insignificant of animals, a physical necessity, but it wasn’t even necessary for procreation, at least amongst the gods. Case in point, Michael’s parents and their children borne without the need of fornication - Athena to Zeus and Nikita’s husband Hephaestus to Ares’ mother. So the sex enjoyed by the Olympians was ordinary, unfulfilling and plain dull - that is until Aphrodite and Ares happened upon each other and need and want was born.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sex had as her domain ‘the sweetness of love’. Her union with the mighty god Ares, made their adventurous escapades mythological, for a different kind of lust was forged and when the two came together the orgasm, as we know it today, was born.

Thrive to spite them

So....is this an AU where Nikita and Michael are gods. Or is this some long convulated way of explaining why they should be making hot monkey sex?

Didn't you quote another story that invoked the Greek gods?

My God. That's amazing. Finally, a worthy successor to Ovid.

Huh. I never thought sarcasm would hurt that much.

I mean, I'm guessing what she said means that there was no pleasure in sex till the god/goddess action, but I read it twice and am still not sure. Not that we all don't, on occasion, write sentences that start out that way(I got a huh or two about an original, last week) But I'm not out there going "Hey, internet!"(It's that Nikita chick, huh? With the Ares and Aphrodite?)

No, I think they're reincarnations or something. I haven't had the heart to read back and figure out how. Or, in the name of every god everywhere, why.

This is from the latest chapter of that one.

Yeah, apparently the Greeks and everyone who came before them...didn't come before then.

I thought the style of that passage and the other one you quoted sounded similiar. Not just because of the greek gods, but the rambling incoherence.

Which makes you wonder how they successfully reproduced....
