In 1974, Gerry Faun gets the break of his life -- an opportunity to meet gorgeous, openly bisexual, glam-rock idol Mark Devon. Mark's world is new, exciting, and Gerry finally gets to explore the side of his sexuality he's kept hidden. But the press is everywhere, and when Gerry's father gets wind of what's going on behind his back, Gerry ends up on the street. Mark offers to let Gerry come along with the tour and Gerry jumps at the chance. The tour is a never-ending party -- and the start of what seems to be a perfect relationship for him and Mark. Until Mark's manager decides Gerry isn't worth the trouble he's stirring up. In 1994, Gerry is finally coming out of some tough times -- he has a job that pays the bills, a car that hasn't quite broken down, and a small rental in Jersey City. After a decade of barely getting by, if life was as good as it was going to get, Gerry figures he'll manage just fine. It would be easier if he wasn't still haunted by the man the media won't let him forget, the man who stole his heart and then broke it ... the man who’s shown up pleading for a second chance.

Fawn on the Moon

“Great costume,” Gerry told the mime with a wide smile.


He was answered by a short bow and a flourish of hands. A thank you, if Gerry was reading it correctly.


“You’re quite welcome,” Gerry offered back. “Happy ghost and goblin day…” He bit the inside of his lip and took a guess. “Sir?”


One gloved hand slipped down to grab the mime’s crotch, and the other to the mime’s lips. If the full fist grab was any indication, the mime was probably male, though the possibility of packing wasn’t out of the question. Gerry’s gaze slipped to the mime’s chest: hard pecs, wide shoulders…fan-fucking-tastic.


“Do I know you?” Gerry asked, more hopeful than he’d intended it to sound.


The mime shrugged. He gestured at Gerry, head to toe, then fanned one hand in front of his face.


“Why, thank you,” Gerry said. “And may I say that you’re looking quite nifty in those tights as well.”
