Summary: Sometimes, you don't get them back.

Warnings: Rated for language. Adult situations and the continued aftermath of broken scenes. Oh, and Papa's being a bit of a horse's ass here, sry.

Disclaimer: Real people exist with these names; but these folks here are fictionalized characters, and not directly intended to represent the actual persons mentioned. Any similarity between the fictional version of the persons portrayed herein and the actual persons is somewhat intentional, but as far as I know, none of this ever happened, except in my mind. Dammit. (Unless it did, and then it's strictly a coincidence.) TL;DR? Fiction, don't sue.
Notes: This follows Safe in the Hard Lessons universe. There are two more fic bunnies in this arc; after that, I'm not sure if this series will continue.

Those of you interested can find the previous chapters here: Broken Trust | Safe | Scenes

Cheerleading, hand-holding, and all-around general awesomeness c/o celticfish -- as always, as ever. ♥ Thank you, bb, for your flailing enthusiasm when I mentioned finishing this storyline. :)

Title: Broken Trust

Author: machka
Dramatis personae: Cohnstro, stealth!Mistro, with bonus Dandy friendship!
Rating: R (adult situations)

Summary: Three words remembered would've made this work...but another was spoken because he forgot.
Word Count: 3532
Prompts: These things right here.
Author's Notes: OMG. So somehow that fluffy prompt turned in the angst fic from Hell. WTF, Muse?? I wanted pr0n, She gave me the mirror opposite of the fic I wrote last time, and no matter how hard I tried to reason with Her, She would not be budged. *shrug*

So anyway, this is not the same universe as the previous fic -- here, Michael and David "switch" as to who's the Dominant and who's the submissive -- that's kind of where things start to go wrong. :-/

Needless to say, this almost didn't get written, but annie2791 nagged me to do it anyway. Blame her. :P

For the Cohnstro LiveJournal community's fic contest, prompt 2.
