Rating: PG (post-coital cuddling)
Warnings (highlight for spoilers): consent issues; (skip) Sweetness

Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. Although reference is made to real persons, the dialogue, actions, and content are products of the artist's imagination only.

Note that, while this is the morning after, there was sex under false pretenses in between. YMMV (there's some discussion of the subtleties in the comments to the last page), but dub-con at best.




Needverse!Stephen is not allowed in the kitchen due to having the attention span of a mayfly. Neededverse!Stephen, meanwhile, is an excellent cook...and too tolerant for his own good.

I love the coloring in this strip. It's so beautiful--the greens, reds and salmons, the light catching on everything. The eagle headboard. And, oh, pretty dreamcatcher! What does that reference, I wonder?

And, ha, I wondered how the discovery would come about:) I know this is wrong, but Stephen holding Sweetness up to Jon's head could almost be seen as a litmus test. What if c!Stephen's Jon had insisted Stephen keep her unloaded, and therefore only an impostor would fear for his life. Or something.

"Neededverse." I love it. And "chu!"

Thanks! I wanted to make the two rooms visually distinct and individual - without having to draw too much detail ^_^;

The dreamcatcher is because l!Stephen has a thing for indigenous religions and being Close To The Earth (and has not done enough research to know that dreamcatchers aren't very significant in many Native American cultures, except as useful for selling to tourists).

And, yes, it's a litmus test! Not with exactly those details, but you're on the right track =D

They're distinct and yet complementary. A nice and reflective visual theme if you ask me!

Every time I see dreamcatchers (or puppy slippers) I think of George:)

Right, Stephen doesn't have much respect for a gun's power, even though he insists that this one in particular is his special lady. Why not use firearms for empirical data?
