Depressing and disgusting, but not surprising.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I mean, I can see it to his friends, but to random people? That's the part that I just don't want to believe.

The story said that the audience was laughing.
I would have liked to have been there with Amanda Marcotte and an axe.
