There's a reason these tables are numbered, honey, you just haven't figured it out yet.

And this, gentle readers, is what happens when you let Panic! At The Disco songs give you plot bunnies.

Angst. Diamondshipping angst.
(Semi-sequel to Learning, Letter, and Night, if you want it to be. Same universe, essentially. Maybe a year or two later.)

The song that gave me the idea for this story is in the subject line. ^

78. Shame

Here it was.

:o I LOVE IT. It was cute and sad at the same time. Good job.

Poor Gio. But Diamondshipping = OMGLOVE and there needs to be some in the anime!

Oh, and...Sebastian can tell me about the mating habits of Slugma any day. <3

Well, Live had some (I believe that's where Blackjack got the name), as well as a song about Diamondshipping (kinda). Only, not so much love in that. Just confession.

Believe it or not, this started life as a comedy. I came up with it when I was looking for the library last Wednesday, and had it all in my mind... then I started talking about SOVA on the phone with Lisa while I was writing it that evening and it ended up being angst. Funny how a conversation can take your story in a totally different direction.

Teen Sebastian's like Phoebe from Magic School Bus- "ZOMG I KNOW *EVERYTHING*! Would you like to hear about it?" (Cookies for anyone who got the 90s reference).

xD OMG I used to love that show.

Now I can kinda see the transition from comedy to comedy/angst.

Very interesting. How much *does* she know?

[nekusagi]

Probably about as much as the rest of the public does about his family.

Which is to say, despite some of the more suspicious details, little or nothing.
