A story from Boughs of Evergreen: A Holiday Anthology
TE AMO, YOU MUSHROOMS
by S.H. ALLAN
T. Livius Quintillus expected to finish his duty as a soldier triumphant, with enough wealth to buy the freedom of Felix, the man he loves, and secure a life together. Instead, he has returned to Rome permanently disabled, with not nearly the money he needs. To others he is a hero, but Quintillus worries that his love might no longer want a man who isn’t whole. With Felix seemingly avoiding him, his hopes are fading. But it’s Saturnalia, a time of feasting and revelry and joy, a time when dreams of freedom feel more than just a fantasy. With the blessing of Fortuna and Minerva, Quintillus may still have a chance for a future with Felix. If only he can find him first...
