Geez, this fandom BROKE me after it's S2 finale and I vowed to NEVER GO BACK. But the prompts I was given were easy and safe and I didn't expect any angst so I agreed. However, it'd been awhile since I'd seen the show. My memory was hazy. I thought "I'll just watch one clip". BUT THEN ONE TURNED INTO TWELVE AND THEN I COULDN'T STOP. Oh, my pretty forest OTP. *clutches them & sobs* So, this is when they are young. REALLY YOUNG. Like, ten and twelve and they don't know what to do with this infuriating person that is ALWAYS AROUND LIKE A PEST. Except when they are not around....they find themselves looking for them?

Author's Notes: I stole...but it was from myself. Does that make it okay? I borrowed from that Five Things meme I did awhile ago because I really liked a line. If not, feel free to flame me for being a lying thief!

( With so many lost comrades-in-arms that were left to turn to dust in the Holy Lands, you would think that he would be more hesitant about condemning another man to the past tense. )
