Doing some catch-up dialogue regarding Xerxes' relationship with his lovers, just in case Sword Kings is the first book someone reads (since it is -the- longform safe-for-work series featuring the MM guys).
Hopefully this summarizes / clears up some stuff about Xerxes and his lovers. These pages were originally going to be much more sparse, but I figured more information is better than too little - we need to care about them, and not just think they look pretty. I take the writing very seriously, even in fun stories lol.
