Devi's life is a forever juxtaposition of past and present. She was 16 years old when she first kissed Ben; she is 21 when he first pays her to sleep with him. She was 16 when she put her father's soul to rest; she is 21 when her mother's life hangs over her head. She was 16 when she broke Ben's heart; at 21 she wonders if he ever had one at all. {Dark Benvi, Possessive Ben}
Set right after season 1 leading up to prom night. Mostly Ben/Devi and some Devi/Paxton too. Also involves an MUN trip in Florence in which Ben and Devi are up to the usual shenanigans, with bad Italian thrown in.
