Yes, this is a crossover, but when I read it I had no idea what with. And it didn't matter. The opening gets you in, and you don't need to know anything about the unknown character, because it's told from his point of view. You get his feelings, outside looking in. Stuck in the dark with a concussed Blair. I really liked this, and maybe it works better if you don't know who it is, because you don't have any preconceptions. It's poignant.

Ah, so that is what it's a crossover with! This is the sequel to Before, in which they all finally meet face to face, properly. This was good too. It manages to keep the tone of the first story. Unlike many OWW stories, this one isn't played for laughs at all.
