realm_of_ylith wants to know where to find Viggo's poem Communion in Danish.

thelinus is looking for some heavy, rip-your-heart-out angst, but would prefer if it wasn't a death fic. Viggo, Orlando or Beanie as main characters would be lovely, but others are fine as well. A happy ending is also preferred..

sheltiesong is looking for some good main character deathfic, or fic where one of the boys is gravely ill or disabled. Preferable any combination of Bean, Viggo and Orlando, but anyone will do..
