I know-- it was sheer awkwardness all the way through! It's really pure silliness; I wrote some of this stuff while snoring through some of my incredibly tedious graduate classes. Imagining Vanyel sleeping with various underdeveloped characters of ambiguous sexuality while I appeared to take notes seemed the only way to avoid actually sleeping on my desk.

I have to say I enjoyed kat_nic's fic much more, though-- I love when Vanyel is forced to spill the beans about all his angsty mysterious past.
