Slipstream
(COMPLETE)
If you were to fall into your favorite fandom, I mean, really do it, would you tell people? Would you be scared of that character that you are fond of, knowing that he or she really has the power to hurt you for real? Would you pursue the silly crush?

(COMPLETE)

I lived it. But I was a killer. I could be. I was a monster. A civilized monster. An ethical monster. But a monster none the less.
