T-Rex: Chris and Nat: two teens always competing in school for the highest grades! Then, one day, as Chris was blowing out his candles on his birthday cake, he wished that, from now on, he would always know more than Nat.
T-Rex: And because it's what makes this story interesting, his wish totally came true!!
T-Rex: But he didn't get smarter than Nat: instead, Chris's brain was filled with everything Nat knew, PLUS Chris's existing memories. Chris could now remember two childhoods, two histories, two sets of feelings for their mutual friends, could revisit conversations from both sides. And whenever something new happened to Nat, Chris got it too.
T-Rex: From now on, Chris would always know more than Nat.
Utahraptor: They're joined as two souls never have before!
T-Rex: No minds had ever been so close!
T-Rex: Nat was upset when told what was going on, but they reconciled quickly since Chris felt Nat's hurt just as deeply as Nat did. "Love" didn't describe their relationship. It was more like - shared personhood. A new state of being.
Utahraptor: ...Wow. That's really intense.
T-Rex: Later, they have some mind-blowing sex AND/OR grow up into cool spies where Nat sneaks in to read documents while Chris transcribes them in safety!
T-Rex: Like most authors, at the start of a new story I haven't quite decided if I'm writing erotica yet, you know?
