GWA Angst Contest Entry (revised)

For those of you used to my usual stories, you might want to think twice before reading this one since it's my entry for this year's GWA Angst Contest. Fair warning, folks, there be unrelieved angst ahead...

[edit]The ending of the story has been revised somewhat to make it feel more complete.[/edit]

[edit]The sequel, "Admission", can now be read here. It provides a resolution to the "unrelieved angst".[/edit]

Site update and a question...

The email address I have for Zillie (iagosaint@yahoo.com) "has been disabled or discontinued". Anyone have a way to contact Zillie?

Managed to get a site update taken care of but I still have a lot left to code because of the new contest fics. If you notice any links not working, please let me know.
