This is mainly...for my own benefit, actually. (But I hope you enjoy it, anyway.)
The purposes?
1. To prove that there's still a plausible pairing that hasn't been explored yet...
2. To prove that I can invent aforementioned pairing. (Can't believe nobody's written this before, actually.)
3. To prove that I can write a freeverse that isn't so bad it's earth-shattering.
I probably won't be able to accomplish the third purpose, but whatevs. Poetry...is fun. XD
Read, and review. I'm in uncharted territory here, so anything you say is welcome. (I'd rather have ten flames than one positive, you know.)
So yeah. Paradox out.
