I'm going to have to spread out my discussion of our fics, but I'll start the threads tonight. :)
So partway through the writing of this fic, I popped back into a quiet thread and started asking specific questions about Lehndorff, Heinrich, and Lehndorff's One Who Got Away. Then, selenak, you started volunteering quotes and dates and page numbers in case we needed them for any reason.
We immediately concluded that you knew there was a Lehndorff fic in the works for you. :) And I did incorporate the altar in Lehndorff's heart to Heinrich as a direct result of you sharing the quote, In pagan times, they would have made him a god, in our time, all who know him build altars to him in their hearts.
I also tried to strike a balance between Lehndorff as Protestant and Lehndorff as chill and open-minded. I figured if his hero Heinrich could have pagan rituals at an altar, Lehndorff could go along with the practice in a secular, symbolic way.
One question I couldn't ask without tattooing "Hi! I'm writing a Lehndorff fic" on my metaphorical forehead and that I'm dying to know the answer to: did Lehndorff at any point in his life that you know of use a cane? I left out all references to canes, but it's been bugging me that I just don't know if I should put one in.
Lovers lying two and two
