Another failed robbery. Another betrayal by his twin. A fatal duel between the hero and the thief. An injured opponent. An unexpected sense of sympathy. After almost killing Lifty in their fight, Splendid somehow decides to save his villain for once. Little does he realize this incident is going to change their lives forever. WARNING: yaoi, slash, bromance. Lifty x Splendid.

Read it to find out what its about. My first fic so be nice people. Obviously Homestuck and the characters in this story belongs to Hussie not me. WARNINGS include slash, yaoi, M/M, foul/strong language, and OOCness. Sorry I need to work on staying in character really badly. I may add on other chapters if enough people want me to. Didnt know where to stick this stuff. Plz R&R. 3

This is a sequel to UpsidedownShortcake's Birds of a Feather. What happens after Karkat throws John back through the transportalizer? The fight isn't close to over and everything hinges on John's alluded destiny as the White Queen's hero... if only Karkat can get to him before Jack finds him and murders him. AU, John/Karkat, Rated M for future sexual content.
