Thanks to a great gallery by Twisted Sifter, I now know that the aptly named Glasswinged butterfly exists.

Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Mention and dreams of rape, description of sado-masochistic sexual practices and BDSM lifestyle, mentions of double penetration, wide-scale homophobia, hurt/comfort, angst, self-loathing, and yet, for all that, it’s a bit of a romance as well.*

A/N: There is pre-reading, there is beta reading, and then there isabrae, who held my hand, cheered me on, encouraged me through rewrite after rewrite after rewrite, trimmed a few thousand words and turned this into a story that breathes. Indebted to her doesn’t begin to cover it. This story is for her, especially since there wasn’t a day gone by when she didn’t want to know what happened next. The title was stolen from The Beatles.
This is a work of fiction and is not meant to be representative of anyone’s world views or the gay community at large. The story is as the characters told it to me. All mistakes are my own.
