Just Visiting
A bittersweet m/m time travel romance.
Can love follow someone through time itself?
When non-caste dock worker Madoc meets Josh, a man from the future, he little realizes it will be the catalyst to change his world. Madoc is typical of his kind, with red hair and a fiery temper to match, and everything that makes sense to him is forbidden by the castes. Josh seems to be the perfect caste with his pale skin, dark hair and self-confidence, but his tales of another time fuel a fire in Madoc - a fire to change everything that's so wrong with his life. But the fight comes at a price. Too soon, Josh returns to his own time, and Madoc is left to follow his love as best he can. Will he find Josh in a brave new future of his own? Or will he have to accept that Josh was only ever a visitor?
This bittersweet short story was originally published in 'Queer Dimensions' by QueeredFiction and has now been rewritten, expanded and published as a standalone book.

What a deft gem of a story this is! I love the way that Fiona Glass has created a complete alternative world in so few words and with so much inference as we are plunged into the love affair between Madoc and Josh that is not only life-changing for both men but a catalyst for world change.
I really enjoyed how the focus was on the emotional, that with all the changes and achievements Madoc has forged over the years, he still yearns for the reappearance of mysterious time-traveller Josh. This may be short and bittersweet but there is so much story and feeling packed into this tale.
