My recipient hpstrangelove asked for The Administration, which I reread this year and love to morally twisty bits. She particularly wanted a confrontation or missing scene of some sort between Val Toreth (Our mostly-sociopathic professional torturer Hero) and either Girardin (the guy his don't-call-him-his-boyfriend cheated on him with, nearly inciting Toreth to murder them both) or Leo Warrick (his don't-call-him-his-boyfriend's mysterious and powerful father).

This turned out to be the most benign thing I could think of to write. I adore this story and had a lot of fun writing it, and even think it's sort of sweet once you calibrate for Toreth and his universe, but it is, well. Not for everyone. *g*

Many many thanks to missmollyetc and cordialcount for their beta help with this!
