Prologue - Love Is A Many Splendid Thing

Love is a lot of things.

Love can be slow.

Love can be fast.

Love can be close.

Love can be far.

Love can be the very opposite of what you think it could be.

Love could be the same thing you always thought it was.

Love is holding on for dear life.

Love is knowing when to let go.

Love is hidden, waiting for it to be found.

Love is out in the open, wanting to go back into the shadows.

Love is all of these things.

...Love is none of these things.

And as the music starts playing in your mind, remember this...

Love is whatever you make of it.

...Or make for it.

Let's start the music, shall we?


AUTHOR'S NOTE: So the somewhat regular people who follow my works know that I have been known to make a few Valentine's Day stories.

Which is fine and all.

This year, I'm going to switch things up a little bit. I had other ideas that I wanted to do instead of Phinbella, so why not bring some other pairings into the mix.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the idea of Year of the Gentlemen.

Ne-Yo is one of my favorite artists, and YotG is one of my favorite CDs of all time, so the idea is to take the songs (not the lyrics, mind you), take their themes, and mold them with a pairing. Will it all work out? Will our young stalwarts find love in the right places? Will they crash and burn? Will I actually finish a fic for the first time in who knows how long?

...*shrugs*

The only thing I will say is that the actual Phinbella one will not be appearing for a while, so that will force you to read several chapters you don't want to in order to get to the one you want! Diabolical, no?

This will coincide with the actual episode that will happen with Valentine's Day, Act Your Age, which...well...I'm going to leave that one alone.

For now.

I have my own take on take on that, but it will have to wait.

Read and review, if you're interested. Chapter One starts tomorrow.
