WARNING: The following story contains, or will soon contain, content which may offend or disturb readers. This content includes homosexuality (f/f and m/m), heterosexuality, BDSM (this means people getting tied up, humiliated, and physically harmed--all with their willing and informed consent, of course), and mild and infrequent bad language. You have been warned, so please don't bother flaming me.

You'll notice that the chapters for this story do not have names. If anyone would like to make a suggestion for a chapter's title, it would be much appreciated.

I would also like to mention that this story is a prequel/companion-piece of sorts to my story Almost An Angel. It takes place four years before AaA, and the three main characters of this story know Michael. They'll be showing up in AaA soon.

I don't know if she's still around the site anymore, but this story remains dedicated to the lovely AikoShrek. She was the first ever Jezzabelle fan, and you'd better believe that Jez remains flattered.

Thanks for reading, everyone.
