Story Notes:
This is an edited version to what is up on Fanfiction.net. I have edited it so that it fits in the guidelines of this site, and also have edited to include more scenes for cohesiveness.
I wrote this in November of 2009, so it's a pretty old story. I was in a dark place at the time, and this story was the result. I tend to get flamed on this story a lot, but I hope that will happen less frequently with the edits I'm including.

To really get this story up to snuff, I'd have to rewrite the entire dang thing, but barring that, this isn't too bad. I suppose. :)
