Author's note:  Thank you fic for tygati , for the lovely postcards she sent me!  Just came into my head and has been floating around...  I hope you like Sander.

Now, the ways these things are supposed to go, I really should be harboring some deep-seated, longstanding longing for my best friend.  He’s handsome, a dark-haired, blue-eyed melancholic hero of poetic mien.  I’m fond of him, of course.  I wouldn’t be following him around on his endless questing if I weren’t.  But in unrequited love?  Pffh.  Not in a hundred years.  Michael Gervais is a nobleman’s youngest son, I, the red-haired Sander Fisher, his gamekeeper’s eldest lad.  (Well. I say lad...  I certainly was when we started our journeying, a fresh-faced eighteen.  That was some nine years gone, though, and I fancy myself a man of the world now.)  Me?  I’m perfectly happy for him to have his misty moonings over Lady Ysabeau, his would-be betrothed.  Mic’s happier when in a fit of romantic melancholy, I think.  It makes him feel impressive.  I take my own pleasures and there are plenty of clever bards, strong blacksmith’s apprentices, and sweet stable men to share them.  Nah.  Whoever thinks it’s something between Gervais and I is dead wrong.  We’re friends.  I don’t talk too long about my fun in the haylofts and he doesn’t practice his awful poetry at me.  It works.

*snicker* That was great. Sounds like someone is quite happy in his denial (nine years!!! ^__^) and I rather wonder how long such a thing will last.

Also, MmmmmMMMmm, redheads. *___*

I just got this picture in my head of the two of them off having heroic adventures, and Sander having fun with every handsome man who crossed their path. Truth be told, I'm certain Sander's not in love with Michael. Mic would annoy him to pieces if they were lovers. He's too emo for Sander. Sander is fond of Mic and views him a bit like an exasperatingly dramatic younger sibling.

And yes, redheaded boys are ^_^.

I don't suppose we could get a peek at one of Sander's mid-adventure interludes? *grin* With maybe a dousing of Mic's emo-ness?
