When I saw that according to the Kerth Challenge #5, I was supposed to write a fanfic with Ben-Hur as the topic, I had no clue how to proceed... until I came upon the idea of this filk. I would be fascinated to see someone else's take on this unlikely pairing.

Incidentally, if you haven't experienced the song on which this is based, you can do so here.

As always, all feedback much appreciated.
