Warning: This story contains m/m sex. If you are offended by this or under age, please move on. Click here http://google.com and have a nice day. This story is a Mary Sue. If such things give you a rash or dysecdysis, contact your doctor immediately. This is not canon, it's a mild AU. The characters are pretty much themselves but few canon events occur. Although there are some echoes of ASIT, there is no wire, there is no war and most of whatever else happened in the series doesn't happen in this story, so please don't look for them.
