Continuity-wise, this story takes place in my own version of the GI Joe universe. It is loosely based on a mix of Devil's Due/Marvel continuity with some Sunbow/DIC tossed in for kicks and grins.
Disclaimer: The only character I 'own' is Karen. Everybody else belongs to Hasbro, et. al.
Author's Note: Once again thanks to the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Danielle for her assistance in beta-reading this piece as well as her encouragement and assistance on military details. Any mistakes in military protocol are purely mine own.

Author's Note: Crosby, North Dakota is actually, factually a real town. I know this because, big screaming dork that I am, I looked it up! It's a small town with a population of about 1,200 in northern North Dakota in Divide County which is near the US/Canada border. The Lutefest is an actual event held in the town (and which looks to be a pretty good time this year 'round, judging from the blurb about it in the on-line version of the town's newspaper.

Author's Notes: Because I'm updating my Big List O'Fics and am trying to be a completist, I'm reposting this here so I have a better link to the fic for the list. That and this way I don't have to go through and htmlize this sucker.

This was the first ever slash fic I ever wrote and one of the first fanfics I ever wrote for public consumption. It's about seven years old. And it's simultaneously one of my favorites and one of the ones I'm still kind of shy about (the look on Swindle's face in the icon? Pretty much sums up how I feel). I'll stop blathering here and let you get on to reading the original blather that preceeded the story (under the first cut). Or you can skip to the second cut and avoid my authorial insecurities.
