In this follow-up story to "To Love a God," Aean interrupts his celestial lover in the one place where Hephaestus is most powerful: his forge. Though busy with work, Hephaestus doesn't mind the interruption, and when Aean suggests a reversal of their usual roles - this time with him on the receiving end of Hephaestus's attentions - the smith hurries to comply.
