I mentioned these on my old tumblog and on the Pfhorums, but didn't get much of a response, IIRC. I'm also currently at a loss for what else to talk about at the moment. XD;
All six are by Apeman and were posted to halo.bungie.org between January 2000 and September 2001. The first set is comprised of
"Of Gods and Heroes",
"Untitled", and
"Untitled 2"; the second,
"Bracelet of Gods",
"The Mantled Wings of Angels", and
"The Desperation of Dreams". The first set deals very heavily in speculative Marathon/Halo connections, and while the second is more rooted in actual H:CE, they were still written prior to its release, and some Marathon elements remain.
The last times I linked to these, I wanted to hold off discussion until other folks had commented, but I think this time I'll stick some of my thoughts under the cut to try and actually get discussion going. XD;
( Spoilers? )Also: if anyone wants to comb HBO/its forum archives for any speculative tidbits I might've missed, please share them here! (Even if I turn out to have already seen them, I'm always up for debate. XD)
