Notes: Thanks to
cordelia_v, for betaing and for planting the seeds of this story by wondering why there weren’t more Snupin stories using a particular plot device. Thanks also to
lazy_neutrino, who wanted a row, to
undunoops, whose drawing
He Likes a Little Bit of Pain helped inspire one of the following scenes, and to the gloriously patient souls who read Smoke as a WIP.
It has happened that men have sinned greatly in the open but have done greater good deeds in secret, so that those who would disparage them have been fooled, with smoke instead of sunlight in their eyes.
- from The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus
