Lafayette wanted a fairy tale ending, someone to love and be with. Hercules wanted it not to storm. Well at least one of them got what they wanted that night.

Hercules Mulligan. He's been going to this same school in this same city with these same people all his life. He had friends, sure, but he'd never had a true connection with anyone. That is, until Lafayette showed up. A cute, curly haired foreign exchange student with a (sexy..? adorable?..) French accent. They end up falling into a real love, but something is happening with Herc's friends. Laf doesn't understand. He hasn't been around long enough to understand. Herc is trying- like Peggy, Angie, and (even the arrogant) Tom- to settle things, but it brings him down. Way down. He falls into a rut of depression that is overwhelming. One thing leads to another.. and the world will never be the same.
