Reciprocity of Ratiocination.

Written by Pining for Porn.

Chapter 0: Me Babble Long Time.

I do not own Being Human or its characters, I just surreptitiously borrowed a copy of them for a little bit of naughty (but ultimately unlucrative) fun! All I've got to my name is some two dollar bling from Wal*Mart and an outdated computer with a torturously slow processor. Trust me, pursuing me for infringement restitution is so NOT WORTH IT!

Dialogue lifted directly from the show belongs to the show, not to me.

Spoilers: All of Season One.

Tagline: Having reasons behind the decisions we make in life is part of being human.

Summary: Bishop forces Aidan to choose between his maker and his best friend by locking Aidan in with Josh during a full moon.

Pairings: Aidan/Josh, and any/all cannon pairings.

Author's Notes: I am going to categorize this fic as an Alternate Universe, because it is slightly out of alignment with the first season, (I added another full moon between the fight with Douglas and Nora's ultrasound.) and since the story was conceived and plotted in its entirety before the start of US Season 2, there is no way it will line up with the second season of the show! This is my very first (and likely only!) fan fiction. I love the fandom, but after only one season, I felt it could use some more good, lengthy stories archived for it. So I decided to write the story I most wanted to read. And though I would put it down for long periods of time, either too busy or distracted or depressed to actively work on it, I would think of it every day, and decided at the very least, it deserved to be finished.

Characters and their motivations fascinate me. What are the thoughts and factors that contribute to a major life decision? What information is given weight? Feelings? Fears? Dreams? Past experiences? What is it really like to see the world through someone else's eyes?

Warning:

This story contains a same sex pairing: If you don't like THAT, then don't read THIS! No whining!

Way More Serious Warning:

This story contains several brief flashbacks and references to heterosexual parings. I'm so very sorry about that… even I am appalled! But, boys will be boys!

More Miscellaneous Warnings:

Adult Situations, Adult Language, Internal Dialogue (Not joking!), Graphic Depictions of Sex, Vampirism, Werewolfism, Zoophilia (don't worry about that one... it's just Josh), very brief mention of Necrophilia (Rebecca, totally cannon, not as scary as it sounds!) Fragmentary Sentences (Deal with it!), Run-on Sentences (Double deal with it!), Angst, Stress, Resentment, Difficult Questions, Awkward Moments, Aidan-whompage, I'm pretty sure I've dangled a couple of prepositions, and I have Been Told I Have a Weird Sense of Humor.

You Cannot Say You Were Not Warned!

No offense meant to Taylor Swift, Pizza Hut, Iron Chef, 3M, Texas Instruments, Jethro Tull, The Bloodhound Gang, chicks named Tammi, Peanuts (Charles Shultz, RIP!), the Muppet Grover (along with his wonderfully memorable book), the fine cities of Boston and Ithaca, and all of their affiliates!

A sincere and heartfelt Thank You goes to B Logan, who agreed to be the first to be subjected to this story, and appeared not to regret it.

A big thank you to Nextup and the great people at Text Aloud, who have made it possible for me to listen to my favorite pornographic fan fiction at work. Cheers!

And finally, a Thank You goes to King J: Who mentioned it, at Lestat's place.

Although I know I gave zero incentive to review by posting the entire story at once, thank you so much to those who left me a review anyway. You made my day! For those of you who didn't: Nine thousand hits in two months? Yeah, I know you're reading it! lol

Comments ARE welcome and appreciated!

Enjoy! =)
