  Summary

  Dave, Rose, and their respective partners live on the knife‘s edge of what ‘society‘ considers ‘acceptable‘. Sometimes the knife twitches, and all they can do is try to salvage the aftermath.

  Not tagged with Graphic Violence because I subscribe to the letter of the law, and technically Dave spaces out. So for a given definition of ‘graphic‘, this still counts as Teen and willful ignorance of tag use on my behalf.
