Berlin Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 I haven't seen this fic for at least the past year & alas, I cannot remember the author's name. Even if it's been discontinued or taken off the site, I just want to know what happened to it because it was a really fabulous story. There was a completed Part 1 & last time I read it Part 2 was still a WIP. The story is about a pro tennis (I think it was tennis... could have been some other sport though) that had a male tutor as a child. The tutor was very pale, had long black hair & was odd. Supernatural. The tennis player grows up & crosses paths with him again in China. They start a "relationship" that ultimately fails. He finds out that this tutor/mentor is a fairy-like creature. The term fairy is never used but that's as close as I can get to describing the type of being he is. His features are actually a "glamour" -- his real body is covered in horrible scars from a big battle that he was in centuries ago. His voice was damaged too. I forget exactly how it all came about but there was some type of interference with another "fairy" that had previously had a serious, long relationship with the black-haired guy -- they were actually related in some way. And the black-haired guy became seriously ill and was in a hospital. That was book one. Book 2 was basically the back story between the black-haired guy and his former lover. All through book one, the lover comes off as a total a**hole but after reading more of book two you start to see their history & feel a bit more sympathetic towards him. ... and that's all I can come up with off the top of my head. Hoping someone can help me out??? I think the author's pen name was one word... maybe starting with a vowel??. Thanks in advance! Quote
