AAAAAGHHH VAN. he is such an asshole all over this post. TBH I think you made a good call in starting that fic where you did; I wondered what had happened (or rather, not happened), but it really didn't MATTER and by not spelling it out you were able to start the story in a place that wasn't 'Van is an asshole who is deliberately ruining Stef's life', which I kinda suspect that would have damaged the story.

I need to amnesty some stuff, I really do. I would like to FINISH SOMETHING for once first, though. :/
