What dreams are made of indeed...

Yeah, this is a dream, so I felt that I didn't really need to ask permission, since it's all non-canon.
Yes, Virtus has a lot of lovers and from a monogamic perspective it's fun to poke fun at him - But it's also easy to forget that he is completely oblivious to his charm and became the face of polyamory by pure accident. He's certainly not any more entitled to his lovers than they are to him, and he's very supportive of them finding love in other places.

Thus the idea of this dream sequence starting off with a somewhat ill-researched Celtic LGBT wedding was way too amusing for me to resist.

That being said, in the real world, Virtus has no idea whether if Centauri and Sam's relationship is completely consensual... Just because he was okay with Sam using her pheromones on him, it's still up in the air (pun intended) whether if the Sam/Centauri pairing will last in the long run.

Pippin as the preacher/druid, since I'm pretty sure he's licensed in everything.

Crush's dress was based on this originalunoriginal.deviantart.… , only keeping the mask as Virt doesn't know Kristina that well. The same could be said for everyone else who's showing up at this Thunderforce wedding dressed in anything that isn't formal wear.

*blinks* Someone read up on pagan weddings.  That's a hand-fasting, in't?  

*chuckles* I do love how Virtus' dreams always seem to reflect how he looks at the world.  He's always been a dreamer and a hoper.  He wants his friends to have a happy ending.  It's very much in his nature.

I'm glad you spotted that detail! Yes indeed! Not a particularly well-drawn handfasting, but a handfasting nevertheless.

*nods* Virt is that kind of person that can always see the light at the end of the tunnel... And thanks to his friends, even when he stumbles in the dark, he always gets back up eventually.

It's not bad at all.  I think you managed to make it clear both in dialogue and in imagery.  //  ^_^ Sam tries to help with the light, but she can be kind of a messy friend for that.  Still, she'd be glad to help him here even if we shall see just how fortunate the relationship is in the real, physical world.

Much obliged.

Depending on how things turn out, he'll be either livid or understanding. But that's a story for another day.

Took me a few seconds to work out what was happening at the start there! Sam and Centauri getting married?! It's a great image and a really fun start to this dream sequence with all the Thunder-Forcers watching! I love the dialogue too 'Ever wonder when those became perfectly rational explanations..?' brilliant! Looking forward to seeing where this little journey around Virtus' subconscious is going to take us!

As for the Sam/Centauri wedding... well, we'll see... but it's not exactly a relationship build on the strongest of foundations...

Thank you! I put a lot of thought into that opening scene, and I'm certainly glad if it wasn't what people expected to see but nevertheless enjoyed.

Exactly. We'll see whether if any future reveals will shatter Virt's optimistic view of their relationship or not.

Virt should lay off the junk food before bedtime. He has weird dreams

Aren't dreams generally weird as it is? But yeah, maybe he shouldn't have had that tenth pizza.

Tell me about it! For three nights in a row now, I woke up in the morning, wondering what just happened

No camenbert/banana pizza for Virt anymore.
