Welp, I sent this off to be beta'd and it has been turned into something actually worthwhile, so I am de-anoning with this!

Characters/Pairings: (Academy Era) Theta/Koschei
Summary: This is a revised, much-improved response to this prompt: Theta/Koschei. The two are best friends, then Koschei gets jealous after (mistakenly) assuming that Theta has a girlfriend. Because the universe /needs/ more Academy fic. Or it'll like, implode or something.
Notes: I cannot thank Mem enough for beta-ing this for me. It went through....four? five? revisions at the very least. Among other things, she fixed my Theta characterizations, fixed my imagery where it failed, and drastically improved my Koschei motivations. And, inadvertently, reminded me that in the original prompt I had completely forgotten an ENTIRE SECTION. This monster has grown about 2,500 words. It's practically a new response by this point.
