I wrote this chapter over two months ago and didn't like it back then and definitely don't like it now, but hey- it's not like I'm gonna rewrite it. I reread the reviews from this last night and it inspired me to post some stuff hanging out in GoogleDocs for the past few months to fill up the sluggish stream of stories in the fandom. You're welcome.
P.S. Doctor Who fans- check out my page more often, a HUGE story of UNFATHOMABLE PROPORTIONS is coming your way! What is it, you ask? Let's just say... if it had a funny smart-ass title, it'd be something like "The Master & Jenny VS The World".
He remembered it as if it was yesterday.

"Il tuo fedel
so spira ognor.
Cessa, crudel,
tanto rigor!
Cessa, crudel,
tanto rigor,
tanto rigor!"
"Caro mio ben
credimi almen,
senza di te
languisce il cor,"
"Do you, Macon Melchizedek Ravenwood, take miss Lila Jane Evers to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Lila Jane Evers, take mister Macon Melchizedek Ravenwood to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do."
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you- husband and wife."
"caro mio ben
credimi almen,
senza di te-"
"You may kiss the bride."
"languisce il cor."
Why the hell did I even post this.
Why.
