There is still plenty of time to read and comment on the "In Dreams" trilogy.
I first heard of "Ceremony" at the late lamented fictalk, where it was posted for discussion as a one-hit wonder, which it isn't really, since the writer wrote two other fine stories. You can find them at her author's page at Gossamer. As a post-ep for Orison, this story deals with its emotional fall-out in a realistic and moving way. However, what is most memorable to me about "Ceremony" is its depiction of adult sexuality as both carnal and transcendent.
As always, please send feedback to the writer, then let us know what you think. Suggestions for next time can be left at the nomination post.
