Summary: A follow up to
The Transitive Property of Attraction, Pete and Stitch are happily living together but issues remain. Stitch can't quite cut off ties with his abusive ex and Pete is walking on eggshells around Stitch's self-destructive behavior, but there are lots of ways to find happiness and Pete has never let "reality" get in his way.
Author’s note: This sequel was inspired by a prompt from
life_downsized (years ago) and I’m not sure there is much resemblance to the actual prompt, but the idea of Pete and Stitch feeling like the need to be something more for their partners remains.
Thanks, as always, to my beta
bluestocking79. I really can’t express how much I appreciate your hand-holding, support, analysis, your questions and opinions, and the fact you fix my 8 million typos and put up with my nonsense. I don’t know what I’d do without you! You’re always an amazing help, but this story really would exist without you.
And thank you to heart_rachel for offering your particular expertise!
