thy godlike crime was to be kind

dante's inferno is literally self-insert fanfiction where he stole a bunch of shit from other mythologies to fill in his descriptions of hell. and it fucking sucks! i don't read fanfic (that's why i'm so mad i got tricked into reading that dogshit) but there's probably some fanfic out there that's better written just because homeboy set the bar so fucking LOW that some 19-year-old tripped over it writing about dr who fucking a homestuck or w/e. get better taste please.

But it was from the difference between us, not from the affinities and likeness, but from the difference, that love came: and it was itself the bridge, the only bridge, across what divided us. For us to meet sexually would be for us to meet once more as aliens. We had touched, in the only way we could touch. We left it at that. I do not know if we were right.
