This was written for the GroodReads M/M Romance Group annual Don't Read in the Closet writing event titled Love is Always Write.  A member of the group submits a story prompt and a reader or M/M author will choose it and write a short story for it.  This is a gay sci-fi short with no sex involved in the story.  It is an imaginative world with well drawn characters and a suspenseful plot.  It stayed with me for days after reading it and I keep checking to see if there is an update on the next one.  I enjoyed the hell out of it and wanted more...but isn't that what a good story is supposed to do?  This does have a HFN (happy for now) ending but I didn't mind.  I loved it.STORY PROMPT:Changelings don't exist. That's what the government wants you to believe. We're their newest weapons for espionage, a reality after decades of failure in genetic R&D;, though we still have some anomalies--dependencies--to be "fixed". We need to have genetic material to change.They say the two of us are finally mission-ready, but I don't want to be separated from the only other "person" who understands this life. I need him.I don't think that's a "dependency" they expected.SUBMITTED BY: AdaraSTORY INFO:genre: sci-fi/futuristictags: spies/secret/agents; shifters (non-wolf-cat); sweet no sex; prison/captivity; young adult characterscontent warnings: nonewords: 8,344
