WARNING: CONTAINS MATURE AND GRAPHIC CONTENT! IF THIS MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE DO NOT READ! THIS IS THE AFTERMATH OF A RAPE STORY, NON-CONS ALSO APPLIES! Iason had hurt Riki, Riki hurts Iason, can they learn to forgive each other?

This will be a series of one-shots, some centering around particular songs, others just a quick story, about the day to day lives of Iason and Riki. They are in no particular order, as they will be whatever comes to me. The first one 'Time in a Bottle' is many years in the future after Dana Burn; others may be earlier than that.

Iason is slowly learning how to care for his pet.

A Riki/Iason pairing, starts off shortly after Riki returns to Iason, and continues from there. They do not die in this story. Rated M for language and adult scenes. DO NOT read if this kind of thing offends you.
