Ian has always dismissed the idea of his and Crainer's ship as something only his fans use. But for a special someone, this could be reality, and he intends to make it so. But not for Ian...for himself.
When Edd had to look after a sick Kevin some feelings awoke in both.
I created this story because this ship made me fall in love with this series. Now I could even watch it without the ship. So this is hopefully an homage to both.
