My favourite so far is "Aquae Multae Non—", a story about a seventeenth-century gay Italian composer whose boyfriend steals the credit for his musical masterpiece; it has an incredibly sweet happy resolution. The epigraph to this story is a line from Imre, credited to 'Xavier Mayne', which is the most EPS thing ever

I agree, it's such a lovely story! ♥ And he apparently really liked to include himself/his pseuds in his stories... sometimes it's very funny and clever... and sometimes very poignant and heartbreaking! (What did you think about "Once but not twice"?)
