Your happy story of the day <3

Falling in love in wartime Iraq
US Army interpreter Nayyef Hrebid and Iraqi soldier Btoo Allami fell in love at the height of the Iraq War. It was the start of a dangerous 12-year struggle to live together as a couple.

"I knew if we stayed in Iraq we had no future. We were going to end up married to women and hiding our whole lives. But I had watched the TV series Queer As Folk and I realised there were gay communities on the other side of the world."

Remember that Faith/Buffy fic I wrote about the couple they met in that underground gay bar in Iran?

Now all I need to do is write a heavily disguised story about an orange demon and its army being...

Hmm.... I vander ;-)
