[grayswandir]

My top three favorites, of the stories I've read so far:

( Moby Dick, Ishmael/Queequeg )

( Plato's Dialogues, Alcibiades/Aristophanes )

( War of the Worlds )

(I also adored all THREE(!) gifts I got for my extremely rare fandoms -- two for 春光乍洩 | Happy Together (1997) and one for The Duke of Mount Deer (Hong Kong 1984). Recommended if anyone happens to be familiar with these canons. :D )
