1. Birds, Trees by The Reverand [Reviews - 2] (2492 words)

I wanted to write something to explain this mistifying picture, a pic of the month on the Eroica Messageboard (thanks to Lisa for permission!):

This is my attempt to make some sense of it. Apart from why Klaus is hauling off an uprooted tree, I was very curious as to why Dorian looks so serious. Of course, I took liberties... and thankfully my Dorian is definitely NOT wearing that horrible suit, or those dreadful shoes! I think this could also be a prequel to A Conversation in Bed, though I'm not sure it deserves the word "prequel" since neither story actually has any plot to speak of! I also wanted to make gratuitous use of Zep lyrics and call this The Springtime of My Loving, but I thought it needed something lighter.
