oh my god, i have so many feelings about this story. i don't even know where to begin. somehow you've managed to put everything i love about fan fiction into this one pairing: heartbreak, tragedy, men, boys, unrealized dreams, sports, hookers, damaged psyches, blow jobs, inappropriate relationships, pain -- the list goes on and on.
strays is such a fantastic mindfuck of a story, and yes, the only thing that could have made it better was this little interlude. man, this pushes my buttons so hard, i can't really describe it without sounding extremely creepy (i am not so creepy in real life, swear, only on the internet when confronted with stories of rentboy!zito).
as much as i love strays, though, you know zito/beane is like my desert island pairing. the glimpses here of optimism kill me, they make the whole thing that much worse. i would quote every line if i could, but: It was good, it seemed like it could have been
