Unspoken attractions by @katedagg (Kate Dagger)

About 3/5 of the way through the "City of Dreams" story, Marvin is badly injured in a fight with the Pale King (the bad guy who's trying to take over the macroverse). The Pastmaster, at Stormcrow's suggestion, brings Marvin to Dana Selkirk (Stormcrow's mom) for aid. After tending to Marvin's wounds, Dana and the Pastmaster start exchanging stories. They sit up long into the night, talking as they wait for Marvin to heal, and as time goes by, Dana actually begins to develop a crush on the Pastmaster (I dunno; she's weird). And yes, they're in the basement, because they're hiding from Dana's husband. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Kate Dagger
