Ah, have you read Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander"? The first one? There is a wonderfully angsty scene where she (forgot her name right now *erm) sets the bones in her lover's (okay, husband by then) hand. There is even a brand on his shoulder. I've always loved that chapter:)
Author's Response: No, I haven't but it sounds like the kind of story I would enjoy. |
