Prologue - Armageddon

:::

Adam Park was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a moron.

There were times, however, when he didn't quite think things through. The day he decided to let Rocky cut his hair in third grade, for instance. Not to mention when his two best friends went skiing and convinced him he'd be wonderful at it because he knew martial arts. Or the time Rocky talked him into "going stag" to the Homecoming dance in junior high.

In retrospect, Adam could see the correlation between inadvisable things he'd done and Rocky's use of the art of persuasion. The first rule in Adam's Book of Life had long been: When Rocky says it's a good idea, don't do it.

So it wasn't so odd, really, that he was approaching this newest experience with a healthy amount of trepidation. It was, after all, the result of many hours of cajoling on his best guy friend's part.

He remembered the conversation clearly, and found himself slipping into a flashback….

"Aw, come on, Adam! It's just for a few weeks. A month at most."

Adam sighed. He couldn't let himself be sucked in. He had to remain strong. Never mind the fact that any time Rocky asked a favor of him, he would drop everything to acquiesce. He just couldn't let himself be swayed.

"Rocky, I would love to help, you know that. But I'm really swamped at work right now, and Tanya-"

"Is out of the country for the next two months. And you know you're just moping around the place without her there. Come on! It's a good idea, and you know it."

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Adam suppressed a groan of despair. That phrase was seriously the first sign of the Apocalypse, and with the whining note subtly entering the Hispanic man's voice, the end was fucking nigh.

"Please?"

Ladies and gentlemen, Armageddon. Please keep your hands and feet inside the apocalypse until existence has come to a full and complete stop.

"Fine."

So now, here he was, picking his way methodically through San Diego traffic and hoping to God that substituting for a martial arts instructor wouldn't end with Adam being bald, broken, or allegedly gay.

He was so fucked.

Author's Note -

Woohoo! We're so very excited to be starting this (finally)!

We've been talking about co-authoring a fic for quite a few years now (ah, memories!), and neither of us can quite believe we've actually started it.

The idea for this fic came about after reading the truly superb fan fiction 'Of Love And Bunnies' by CrazyGirl47 (check it out, it's worth it). Shortly thereafter, a plot bunny laid eggs in P2m1b's brain, and it kind of evolved from there. With many spin-off ideas (see: Akiko's Chaos - or, rather, don't, because it sucks) and plots volleying back and forth, this fic was finally born.

That being said, there are a few warnings.

1) There will be slash! You would be hard-pressed to find a story, any story, that P2m1b has had a hand in that doesn't involve some kind of boy/boy awesomeness.

2) There will be swearing. We're grown-ups, and sometimes we use grown-up words. If you're old enough to know what it means, we hope you're old enough to be reading it.

3) Same goes for the various lime-y moments (and, no, I don't mean the scenes with British people).

4) There will be appearances by Rangers from most series', but the fic is based on original characters. We've tried to make them well-rounded and believable, and we hope you'll come to love them like we do (well, we love some of them - the rest get eaten).

There may be more warnings posted as we develop the story further.

While Akiko tends to be long-winded, we will try to keep the Author's Notes short. Whether or not we will succeed is another matter entirely.

Thank-you for reading, and we hope you enjoy.
