Heey--yeah, why go halfway on something like this? *g* In a way, it's not difficult at all; I thought they could all quite plausibly be interpreted as canonically virgin except for John, so I took care of that. And I'm glad the "I love you" came off; it's a tricky thing, as you know. The lushness--actually, I overdid the lushness in the first draft, and resonant helped me cut it down; lushness not being my usual style, I needed some help with it! There are still a couple of wonky things in it that I'd probably work out if I felt like reopening it, but I don't. *g* That's the beauty of flashfic, really--it forces you to confront these interesting ideas (virgins! drugs! apocalypse!) and make SOMETHING of them in a limited time frame, trying to figure out what the specific instance of the general theme looks like--virginity in DS would be a very different thing, I think.
