The address attached was familiar.
Asher didn't know why at first, and he was hoping it wasn't someone he knew.
The whole drive, he pondered why he knew this address.
Even after parking and looking out at the place, nothing came to mind.
Until he messaged Darlin, he had arrived.
This is the same place he picked them up last time.
Which had never happened.
There were some places, or people, that they visited more than once, but never in a row.
This one was different.
Asher's mood took a fast dive.
But he didn't have time to think about it as Darlin was pulling on the locked door.
Taking a deep breath and putting on a smile as he unlocked the door
“Took you long enough.”
Darlin's tone made it seem like they had plenty of energy.
But Asher knew to look for other signs.
The shaky hands
Paler skin
The way their face looked like it had no muscles
The heavy breathing
The blinks that were closer to short naps
And of course the marked neck
Normally, Darlin hides a few symptoms at a time.
Today they had all of them.
Once the car door was closed and Darlin was safe in Asher's care, they let the exhaustion take over.
As sometimes needed, Ash leaned over to buckle Darlin in.
The smell of another empowered was strong.
It was abnormal.
Even with the activity and proximity of Darlin and their midnight friends. The scent was never this strong.
Whoever lived in that house wanted Darlin to smell like them.
And Asher had a feeling Darlin wasn't aware of it.
When he finished buckling Darlin in, he pulled up to see the marks on their necks.
It wasn't strange to see the marks; it was actually more weird if they didn't have marks.
But this person
They didn't leave anything to the imagination.
Asher knew Darlin liked it on the rough side.
Just from what he'd seen on their skin and the stories they shared
But this was still something different.
Extreme
There were more bites than needed.
If he didn't know better, he'd assume there was more than one vampire.
then The hickeys
It was hard to tell what was a hickey and what was a bruise.
That was what concerned Asher the most.
The finger bruises that indicated they'd been choked
Darlin was claustrophobic
Darlin doesn't like being trapped.
So it would make sense that Darlin doesn't like being choked.
“Would you stop staring?”
Their eyes weren't even open, but they could feel the intense eyes of Asher.
“Sorry”
He should have left it at that, but he couldn't.
“It's just that you have bruises from being choked.”
Keeping still and with their eyes closed, they replied
“Yeah, that happens when you get choked.”
They were clearly annoyed, but it wasn't enough warning for Asher.
“I know I just sort of thought.”
Then they snapped, at least with their voice, the rest of their body still resting.
“Ash, leave it be. Just drive.”
He whispers a sorry as he starts to drive aimlessly.
Typically that was the plan—drive around till Darlin chose the food that spoke to them.
Asher drove around longer than normal. Darlin kept dozing off, but Asher felt like sleeping after that much blood loss, so he kept shaking them awake.
Eventually, Darlin was able to stay up without Asher's help.
A few minutes later, Darlin said Taco Bell was the place to go today.
When Asher parked, Darlin was still pretty woozy.
“Where’s my sweater?”
Darlin kept an extra sweater in Ash's car, a hooded one to help hide their neck.
They moved their hands around searching with as much strength as they had.
“I've got it, Darlin.”
Then they giggled as Asher reached in the back for the sweater.
He almost didn't believe his ears.
He hadn't heard that laugh in years.
“What's so funny?”
They giggled more.
“That name, it makes me all silly.”
Ash was quite close to their ear when he said it again.
“Darlin”
Darlin closed their eyes, enjoying the sound and the way they could hear that grin.
When they opened their eyes again, Ash was no longer in the car.
He was opening the passenger door, unbuckling them.
They look at him.
Asher felt like a knight in shining armor with the way Darlin's eyes sparkled. At him
He helped Darlin out of the car.
When they got their own standing, Ash unfolded their sweater.
“Can I?”
Ash asked as he presented the sweater.
Darlin nodded and lifted their arms.
Asher pulled the sweater over them, covering the scent the vampire left.
Darlin smelled like them again.
They went into the lobby and ordered their food.
Asher ordered it all, making sure to order 3 times the amount Darlin would typically eat.
He always ordered twice, but he felt today they'd need more.
Darlin stayed silent for the whole thing; they just kept their heads down and ate.
It was around 3 when they finished eating.
Darlin was still clearly worn out.
“I'm going to be honest with you. There's no way we walk in, and David doesn't know something up.”
Darlin's face agreed.
“Maybe, I mean you could stay at my place for the night. Will can tell David we're going to the club. And then later we'll text him that we're too messed up to get to his place, a perfect excuse for us to sleep at my place. Oh, and I've got that whole room for you since Milo moved out.”
Asher was a little excited.
Darlin thought it was cute and mustered up a smile and nod.
And they were off to Ashers.
When they got there, Asher found some clothes for Darlin.
Once changed, Darlin took a nap, which helped them regain a lot of their energy.
While Darlin napped Asher to tidy the place up. His mom always taught him to have a place nice for guests, and he thought Darlin deserved that.
He also found some fuzzy blankets and nice pillows for Darlin, who fell asleep before he could get them anything.
When they woke up, they strolled out to the couch, grabbed one of the fuzzy blankets, and turned the TV on. They wanted to do something with practically no effort.
When Asher finished the dishes, he joined them.
If you could call it that, as he was seated 5 feet away.
They picked a movie and started watching
Asher even made popcorn for Darlin.
He wasn't a fan.
He has no idea why he even had popcorn in his apartment.
As they were watching TV, Asher's eyes gravitated to Darlin's face.
It's amazing what random colors can do.
The way the movie lights cast on their skin.
It was mesmerizing.
At some point, his eyes drifted down to their neck.
He now realized that the shirt he gave them had a wide collar, leaving Darlin's neck very exposed.
And even in the strange light, the marks and brushes on their skin burned in Asher's eyes.
Just as his eyes burned them
They could feel his eyes on them; it wasn't an unfamiliar feeling; people used their eyes to judge them all the time.
It was unfamiliar to know those eyes belonged to Asher.
Asher was the one person they felt would never judge them.
With all that they've told him, he never made them feel wrong.
The most he'd do was cation them without judgment, which was a popular combo.
So feeling those eyes bare into their skin hurt more than ever.
And they weren't known for running away from pain.
“I can feel you staring at my neck.”
Asher choked at nothing, and as much as he knew he should look away, he couldn't.
“I'm—it's just the choke marks.”
Ash explained
“I thought we talked about this.”
Darlin said, but they weren't upset, so safely Asher continued.
“Well, I guess you just never mentioned you liked that stuff.”
Darlin stared at Asher.
He was the one feeling judged now.
making him talk more
“Well, you've been claustrophobic for as long as I've known you; choking seems like it'd be triggering. And like I said, I just didn't know you were into it.”
Not upset but also done with the conversation, Darlin throws a popcorn kernel at him.
“Well, you wouldn't know, because we've never slept together.”
A smirk was on their lips; their eyebrows were up.
Everything said, 'Let's change that.'
Except for their eyes
Hollow
If they let him look longer, he might find fear.
Fear that he realizes he was right
They didn't like being choked.
But it didn't matter; it already happened.
Asher looked into their eyes, Darlin turned away.
They sat and finished the movie.
Asher watched Darlin breathe throughout the rest of it.
Their breathing was only explained as being on the brink of panic.
But he didn't know what to do.
So when they got up to head to bed, he did nothing.
In the morning, Asher got up before Darlin.
Maybe he'd try making them breakfast.
Bad
Very bad idea.
Smoke was the smell that woke Darlin.
It wasn't enough to worry about a fire, but enough to check what was going on.
Emerging from the room, they stood in the open living room staring at a panicked Asher, trying, rushing a pan of, well, Darlin couldn't tell, but he took it to the sink, turning the Faust on before Darlin could stop him.
“What the fuck, Asher?”
He hadn't realized they had seen that.
He looked and smiled at them.
That damn smile
Everyone always said his smile was his best feature.
They weren't wrong.
Darlin walked into the kitchen, grabbed a towel, and turned the water off.
They opened a window and started fanning the pan.
“Go open more windows.”
They instructed Asher, laughing to themselves. Everyone knows Asher can't cook, so why did he even try?
When Asher returned, Darlin scolded him.
“Unless it's an active fire and not a grease fire. You don't need to put it under water, because now your place is full of even more smoke.”
He listened intently, probably because it was Darlin, which he preferred. Being scolded by Darlin over David any day
“Got it. But what's a grease fire?”
Darlin closed their eyes, needing Second to deal with him.
It was even harder because he was so honest and so cute.
Like a golden retriever
They wondered if maybe his relatives were dog-shifter golden retrievers.
After cleaning up and giving Asher a detailed guide on dealing with various fires, the two head out, first for food, then back to David's. Darlin lived there; it was David's place; Darlin didn't pay anything, and David was pretty cool for that.
They parked in the driveway, and Asher moved to get out, but Darlin grabbed his hand.
“These marks are still way too visible.”
They looked at the passenger mirror.
“Even with the hoodie.”
Worry was written all over their faces.
They couldn't find a solution and were actively getting worse.
Asher put his hand on their shoulder before flipping up the mirror.
“I've got it. I'll distract David; you'll rush to your room and apply some makeup; he'll never know.”
And once again, he smiled
There must be a calming agent in his smile because, with that simple plan, Darlin was calm and ready to face David.
Darlin put their hoodie up while Asher held the fast food bag; David couldn't stand it, and that was the distraction.
The two entered, and David was right at the door, probably about to go out.
Asher walked straight to him, holding the bag out to him.
David tried to talk to Darlin, but they were able to get past him as Asher lightly shoved the bag into David's chest.
“Hey buddy, I got you some breakfast.”
Instantly, David was distracted.
“This is not breakfast, Asher. Not to mention the fact that it's 11 am.”
Asher put on a puzzled face.
“so??”
David took a breath and sighed before answering.
“Breathing is a meal you have in the morning.”
“But it's 11 am before 12, making it the morning.”
David couldn't argue that even though 6 am was his breakfast time.
Asher was still holding the bag.
“Come on, David, I bought you food; the nice thing for you to do is at least put it in the fridge.”
David's stoic face stared at Asher's before he took the bag and walked to the kitchen.
As David did so, Asher's phone buzzed, a message from Darlin that his help was no longer needed.
David came out of the kitchen.
“Ash, I'm headed to the gym if you want to join me.”
“I don't have any plans for the day, so yeah, let's go.”
Then they stood there, both wondering why the other hadn't moved. David figured it out.
“Ash, your car is blocking mine.”
“Oh yeah, don't worry, I'll move it.”
Ash left to move his car as Darlin came back out.
Head toward the kitchen.
David called out to them
“Tank, would you grab me water from the fridge?”
Tank moved to do as he asked.
Opening the fridge, grabbing a bottle, and tossing it to him
“You got it, man. But David, why is there a bag of trash in the fridge?”
David came closer.
“What bag of trash?”
“This one”
They lifted the fast food bag out, the one David just put in there.
“What do you mean, 'a bag of trash?’ Are you making a joke about how bad fast food is?”
Darlin laughs as they open the bag.
“No, David, it's a literal bag of trash.”
Just as David saw the truth in the bag, Asher re-entered the house.
Though David didn't know yet
“Why would Asher tell me it was food?”
Darlin made a few goofy faces for Asher.
“I don't know David. You know, Asher is a weird guy.”
A gasp is what drew David's attention to Asher.
“I am not weird.”
David was already over this and decided he no longer needed an answer.
“Tank, please think that away, Ash, let's go. For the record, Ash, you're the weirdest guy I know.”
Asher defended himself as the two left the house.
Hello Redacted Tumblr
I would like to know what other asmr rp creators yall listen to
Specifically, male for non women, so gender neutral or male listeners
Thank you I appreciate it
Darlin met quinn when their hair was shaggy, like they were planning to cut it but hadn't gotten to it
Then quin scared them mentally physically , their haihad gotten so long, it wasn't their style. But it hides the marks
They didn't cut their hair for a long time. They hated it, but it was any easier than taking the judgmental looks of strangers because of their gruesome neck
Untill sam
He wasn't the only factor, but he helped them change and become more confident and carefree in those scars
So they cut their hair, really short. Or Sam cuts it, the night being one full of emotion, sam took his time, softly kissing darlin before cutting large parts off. Sam may not have much experience with cute hair, but he did a good job, and darlin looks and feels great
Bonus:
they were still getting used to the short hair when quinn was captured. so It was another layer of facing quinn, with the "claiming" bites on display
Things Quinn might have said
" I prefer your hair long. More to hold and yank. I know you were fond of that as well"
" I'm happy to see you showing off my marks. They really are a form of art"
" How does your pack feel about this- fashion statement. Ooo- better yet how does that other vampire your seeing feel about it. I bet he loves you walking around with the bites of another vampire etched in your skin. He mustn't be to offend, seeing as he hasn't biten you"
" He hasn't bitten you. I can tell you why. It those marks. To us vampires - it is like getting a steak with a bite taken out, disgusting, tainted,worthless. I'm sure you understand. No one wants someone else's thrown out leftovers. "
EAT IT UPPPP, THIS IS LOW-KEY WHY DAVIDS LITTLE RANT AT THEM PISSED ME OFF
YES YOU KNOW DARLIN, DAVID, BUT THEY KNOW THEIR EX BETTER THAN YOU!!
in hindsight that’s probably why they just sat there and took the way he talked to them - they weren’t about to explain the lore/his psyche to mr shaw when he was already pissed
I feel like, in terms of Quinn, we don't talk abt the fact that he's actually a little BITCH
Like, you're a 50 year old vampire targeting unempowered humans who couldn't fight you back if they wanted to. You're literally a bitch bro.
And this fact right here, is one of the main reasons why I will ALWAYS defend darlin when people talk abt them putting the pack in danger.
Quinn doesn't attack people that he knows he's gonna lose to. Because, let's be real, if he was gonna attack an unempowered member of the pack, he would have done so when he attacked Darlin's friend.
He may be a lot of things, but he's not dumb. Attacking an unempowered person of the shaw pack (the most influential one in Dahlia, btw) ESPECIALLY the mate of the beta or alpha???? Cmon bro, that's so fucking stupid and Quinn would literally never do that, because he knows he would get his shit rocked by like 30 fucking wolves bro.
Darlin's unempowered friend was the only person that Quinn could hurt Darlin' with, without touching a member of the pack. Which is why he went after them specifically.
I could go on about this all day, like Darlin' wasn't putting anyone in danger because Quinn isn't dumb enough to attack a member of the pack!!

“i’ll heal. will you?”
oh wow….
Recently rewatched the recent Sam/Darlin episodes (as I often do) and was scrolling through the comments when I saw someone say something along the lines of:
"I'm happy to see nobody's thirsting for Quinn in the comments. I'm glad that we, as a community, are healing."
And at that moment I realized that I am, in fact, not healing.
I saw someone say something about wearing Quinn's teeth like a necklace and now I can't find that post anymore ._.
Anyway, I thought about posting this on here but then changed my mind because it's sorta graphic, and up until now I've kept my blog rather safe. So I'd like to keep it that way.
But feel free to head over to Ao3 if you want to read a short about pulling Quinn's teeth! It's the first fic within the Redactedverse that I've posted, but I hope that it'll be the first of many.

Tumblr people, please tell me if the audio and the subtitles are timed correctly. On my phone it sounds delayed and on my laptop it sounds fine - I'm going crazy here ;-;
[Flashing Lights and Loud Noise warning!]
(I'll post the full version of this once I've figured out wth is going on btw it's almost done ^^)
^ These two are the reason I didn't sleep properly and it was so worth it. I have a newfound appreciation for this audio now.
This also gave me the perfect excuse to further defend my claim that 3 S' is definitely a song that was just made for Tank.
[Warning for: Flashing Lights, Loud Noise, and Agonized Screams.]
(Also, after listening to it as often as I have now, I'm really beginning to love how evil David's "He deserves whatever you want to do to him." sounds.)
If
"You're not a damn tank"
"Not when it comes to emotional abuse, no. But my body can take plenty."
And
"How very cold of you, precious. And I really thought we had something."
Sound good to you, then you might want a Darlin- and/or a Quinn-themed playlist because music is fun.
(Yes, the Darlin one is titled "Tanking the Pain all the Way" because I wanted the pun, why do you ask? Also, I made a Charlie (Yuurivoice) mixtape months ago, so if anyone asks I can link that as well.)
Just woke up from a fifteen hour nap so here's a random thought I had:
Darlin pretended to be their unempowered friend's significant other so they wouldn't have to get their memories wiped against their will. They did everything they could to convince the department that they were planning to get and fill out that form to tell their friend about magic while convincing everyone they and their friend weren't just friends.
When their unempowered friend recovered, Darlin made them the offer to forget about the night with Quinn - told them that they'd go to the department and confess to lying about their relationship so their friend could get their memories of that traumatic night and magic existing at all wiped.
They said no.
And as time went on, Darlin went to one of those lectures Ash also had to attend about how important covert is (even though they had no hand in exposing their friend to magic but whatever) after they had moved to Washington and their friend moved away from Dahlia as well and both agreed to be in a pretended long-distance relationship in the eyes of the department.
Fast forward, when Darlin and Sam's relationship became the fluffy romantic thing that it is now, Darlin told him about all of this. They were anxious and hesitant about it for months beforehand because they had no idea how he'd react, but he took it well.
(The conversation went something like:
"Hey, uh, you remember that friend I- no, David told you about? The one that got attacked by Quinn a few years ago?"
"Yes, why? Are they alright- did something happen?"
"Don't worry, they're fine, it's just... Uh... When the department asks, tell them the three of us are in a polyamorous relationship. Please?"
"Wha- Huh?"
"And before you potentially freak out, there is a reason for this, believe it or don't. One that will get me into a lot of trouble with D.U.M.P. but it is a legitimate reason."
And then all of that mess got explained and Sam was like "Okay as long as you don't get into any legal trouble (and as long as I don't have to share you) that's fine.")
Hey
Hey fan-fiction people with more motivation than me
Listen
AU where - and don't hate me, I'm just a sucker for good angst - Darlin stayed with Quinn. In which they helped him kill Fred and Bright at Wonderworld and helped him escape afterward and years later while they're on the run, Darlin and Quinn come back to hide in Dahlia, and Darlin and Sam fall for each other in a slow-burn romance but Quinn gets bitchy and jealous so he confronts Sam, leading to him finding out that the wolf he's been hanging out with is compliant in the murder of his progeny.
*Unintelligible (disappointed?) hand motions
I'm not proud of this thought I just had, not gonna lie-
I will preface this with: Apart from the cussing, I'm trying to keep this blog SFW, so feel free to interpret what comes next in whatever way you want, alright?
Alright. So,
Darlin can be absolutely vile and disgusting and it is only partially their own fault. Like, Sam has to change the sheets and pull their clothes off of them and throw them in the wash because they don't do it themself - Darlin only showers when Sam reminds them to, they only vacuum or mop the floor when Sam asks them to, and their toothbrush looks brand new.
Darlin never really learned self-care, which is why this is partially on them. But for the most part, this is Quinn's biggest impact on them.
While they were with Quinn, they put up with a lot of his weird shit, and Quinn was freakishly obsessed with all of them - their smell, their taste, their feeling- everything. After biting or cutting them, Quinn never treated the wounds and had Darlin bleed all over the sheets and those sheets stayed on the bed until the dried blood made them so crusty they had to be thrown out. Quinn kept their unwashed clothes and had them stay in sweaty, bled-through clothes because "every part of you is beautiful, precious, especially the work and pain you put your body through" and definitely not (cough sarcasm cough) because "I want your scent all over me even if other people think that it's absolutely unsanitary and vile."
Over time, Darlin just got used to it, and to a certain point adapted those (I spent far too long to find a synonym for fetish) habits as well. To them, it was just normal to be a complete and utter mess around their loved one, because it meant showing vulnerability to them. Not only that, but they also adapted to Quinn's thing of staying curled up in the sheets after some (I'm giving up on SFW istg-) nights with Sam.
Getting them to take proper care of themself and keeping them and their space clean is a work in progress, to say the least. But Sam doesn't mind.
David does, though. He can't stand their bad breath or that they always smell just bad. There is no other word for it they just smell bad, and sometimes they just smell like Sam the same way Amanda and Christian smelled like each other all the time because Darlin especially refuses to shower after they've been close to Sam. David is so done with this.
So yea, that's my weird and wonderful (?) thought for the day. I will now go and contemplate whether or not I will attempt to write a hurt/comfort fic based on this.
Don't mind me, just thinking about domestic and fluffy Darlin and Quinn while bawling my eyes out, nothing new.
Time to ruin someone's day, here we go!
(Aka: Me going on a rant about fluffy DarlinxQuinn.)
Warnings (?): Me swearing a lot because I wrote this the moment the thoughts came into my head without a filter, domestic fluffy things, and Quinn, who deserves to be his own warning.
Darlin and Quinn were so sweet together and you can not possibly fathom how endearing they were with one another.
For example - hear me tf out - they got matching rings to wear for their first anniversary-type thing. And I know now you might say:
"Uhh Existence, they weren't even together for a whole year. Did you even read the timeline?"
To which all I have to say is, bitch I studied the timeline, you amateur, now keep listening to what I have to say. Quinn is the type of person that celebrates this kind of shit monthly - He's the kind of person to celebrate "half-birthdays" or whatever they're called. So yea, he got himself and Darlin matching rings to put on necklaces as a first monthly anniversary gift.
Another grand example would be how these two shared each other's clothes all the time. Nobody knew which hoodie or t-shirt was whose anymore after a few months and so they'd just start buying clothes together and for each other instead of individually for themselves because they just knew they'd end up sharing the clothes anyway. And Darlin accidentally kept some of Quinn's clothes even after they broke things off.
Also, Darlin did Quinn's makeup for him. These two would be sitting pretty on the bathroom floor of Quinn's dingy little apartment, Darlin in Quinn's lap, and they'd be doing his eyeliner and applying glitter to his eyeshadow and putting on his highlighter. Once they were done, Quinn would give them the softest kiss and share his lipstick or chapstick with them before saying something like "To treat/cover up that scar I left" with the sweetest apologetic look he could muster.
Also, Quinn would always give Darlin massages and he was weirdly good at it. Most of the time these two weren't intimate in those innocent and lovely little ways, but when they were, it usually was Quinn massaging them.
And he wasn't just good with his hands when it came to massaging because this man has such steady hands that it became a regular thing for him to paint Darlin's nails, only for them to miserably fail at doing his in return. They were always super embarrassed and apologetic about it when they got the nail polish all over his fingers but to Quinn it was just the cutest thing to see them scramble to clean him up and damn near hear the blood rush to their face in embarrassment.
Another thing would be that Darlin tends to have a very hard time falling asleep, so they'd ask Quinn to trance them to sleep sometimes and he'd hum a little tune while he held them in his arms and they drifted off in his trance. When they were fully asleep he'd give them a little forehead kiss and just cuddle them closer while watching them sleep very non-creepily (definitely not creepy, why would you even suggest that?).
This one's not as wholesome, but Quinn thought it was cute and quirky to wear Darlin's blood like it was lipstick which they found disgusting, but they got desensitized to it to the point they played up their annoyance whenever they saw him do it. They'd say something like "You know it looks bad when it gets this dry, right?" before getting a wet cloth or just straight up licking it from his lips. The latter of those only encouraged Quinn to keep doing this because of course it did.
And those were my wonderful thoughts and ideas for the day, hope you enjoyed (or were miserable throughout) reading this stuff.
Also, how are we liking the dividers? I made them myself and I think they turned out pretty cute.
Because nobody asked, here are songs that make it very easy for me to write for/that I associate with certain characters (but this is only for the vampires because otherwise, this list would likely be too long for anyone to want to read it):
Sam: I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend by Girl In Red. [I will not explain. Just listen to the song and don't tell me you can't see Darlin' and Sam sitting on the couch with an acoustic guitar.]
William: Dream On by Aerosmith. [It's not that I'm refusing to explain. Rather, I have no idea how to explain this.]
Vincent: Honkai World Diva from the game Honkai Impact 3rd. [So majestic. Just like him TwT]
Vincent (again): From Now On We Are Enemies by Fall Out Boy. [Vibe. That's why.]
Alexis: Applause by Lady Gaga. [It really feels like her. Like, if songs had a human appearance, Applause would look like Alexis.]
Alexis (I had to): After Life by Band-Maid. [Alexis but happy :D]
Adam: Regret by 1stress. [Again, I have no explanation other than "the song looks like him."]
Quinn: Battle Cry by Shayfer James. [Yes.]
Lovely: Vampire by DECO*27 [I don't think I have to explain this one.]
Lovely (once more): The Title Track by Origami Angel. [You know, while I was going through my playlist, I was expecting to end up with hyperpop or a Hatsune Miku song for Lovely. Then I put on The Title Track and somehow it just clicked for me.]
Bright Eyes: Dream On BUT it's the Kasane Teto cover. [The cover that made me fall in love with Teto <3]
Frederick: Bleed Magic by I Don't Know How But They Found Me. [Haha trauma haha funny. But seriously, this was not the song I expected to give Fred.]
In honor of my name card post reaching 500 notes for some godforsaken reason, here's more of that as a thank you to everyone who enjoyed that post:
Vincent "You're the Lovely of My Life" Solaire
