AUTHOR'S NOTE

Dear reader,

Presumably, you've read the summary already. You may have noticed my confusion upon whether this is a slashfic or not. And, if you may, I would like to explain my reason behind that.

For you see, this is my first fic of the sort, and I want to be sure I tread as lightly as possible upon the subject of slash. Now, you may be thinking "This is gonna be lame" or "You should prolly just burn yourself now and save the trouble" or "No hablo Inglese", but, let me assure you, this is going to be different. I am not a fan of gratuitous slash, or unnecessary slash, for those of you with a less than copious vocabulary. But be warned: A part of this is fairly "blue" (not the sad kind of blue), but not to a stupid "blue" extent. Now, before you whip something nasty at my head, allow me to explain. I love using those sorts of things to present powerful conflicts in my stories. So, in short, that means it is in there for a reason. My moral compass is just as sensitive as any Joe Schmoe's down the street, so I'm not some messed up freak or a robot. Though I did write this story while high on sprinkles.

Now, the main purpose of this whole author's note thing was to tell you that you have to decide for yourself whether this is slashfic or not. I just kinda got carried away up there. So… Yeah.

Okay, let's review.

1.) This is my first "slash" fic

2.) I say that because it might not be

3.) If this is slash, it is not gratuitous slash

4.) A part of this is "blue"

5.) Not stupid "blue", though

6.) I use the "blue" to present a conflict

7.) I'm not a robot

8.) I wrote this while high on sprinkles

9.) You have to decide for yourself if this is slash or not

10.) And I get carried away easily

Get it?

Got it?

Good.

And now… My story.
