As always, thanks to the beta of my heart, brimtoast, who has the best couch in the world to camp out and write on. I would get literally nothing accomplished without you, best beloved.

"Shit," Dustin squeaked, bouncing to his feet and knocking over a stack of Mountain Dew cans. He wasn’t supposed to stop monitoring the network for any reason, not until they were sure the latest code they’d pushed through wasn’t going to cause a lag or, god fucking forbid, a crash, but Mark, under the circumstances, would allow this temporary dereliction of post. "Holy shit, are you serious? How? Why? What? And how?"

loved this whole twist on the Sean Parker meeting.. Mark still being starstruck at first, but now since he's with Eduardo in this 'verse and so can tell and cares that he's upset and realizes what a douche Sean is and how he seems to want Eduardo out.
