Thank you for taking the time to check out my very first fanfic. I hope you enjoy it (though enjoy may be entirely the wrong word for it, all things considered). A huge, HUGE shout-out of enormous thanks to svuxfanfic and Radioactive Whisper for their advice and encouragement. Please check out their stories when you're done here. You won't regret it. And without any further ado...
