An absolutely stunning story about a trigger-loaded subject, father x son incest. It's handled with such originality and sensitivity, though, against a context of time travel, loneliness and alienation, that ... how does Ike Reibun transform something so icky into something so heartwarming and healing? By crafting a wonderful supernatural mystery like this. Stick around for the happy ending. This one's worth reading again and again. One of my favourites.
A magician saves a timid slave. The enraptured slave tries to trick him into falling in love with him by swallowing a potion which he believes transforms him into the most beautiful sort of man.
