Oh, żmija, thanks for the 2 chapters of Desideria! Chapter 5 was so incredibly intense that chapter 6, oddly enough, is much more relaxed for me. I think this is because Henry's disclosure happened and the anxiety of this inevitability has gone away: it has already happened, it is happening now.
The relationship between Erik and Istvan is described so deliciously (the coitus at the end of Chapter 6 is so - oh, hot, so praiseworthy), that Erik was already on the verge of drawing a line in his relationship with Istvan, their mutual despair, this coldness and bitterness of Istvan. I'm devouring their relationship like a vampire, like Carmilla devoured sweet Laura. The way Erik was afraid that Istvan was ready to trade him for Henry (meanwhile, in chapter 5, Istvan was just as jealous of Henry, guys, you definitely have to thank him, he brought your relationship out of crisis to a new level of trust).
Erik is ready to deal with Henry, but he is still attracted to him… And Istvan is very inspired by the revelation of the true state of affairs and the personality of "Gregor", it seems that he likes it much more than if "Gregor" was just Gregor, one simple bandit.
Scary (terribly interesting, of course) what will happen in the final chapter 7… I will wait with patience (actually with great impatience)
I do hope you like the final chapter. I posted it at the break of stormy dawn and now I don't know what to do with myself: as I joked on twitter, there's a histerik shaped hole where my heart used to be. ough!
