This is supposed to be a follow-up to LauraiSlaxl's "Love Lies Bleeding." Hope she doesn't mind it!
This is actually the first Slaxl story I wrote over the Summer (before "Always & Forever") as a request to someone on deviantART for an image she made of the same title.
A sequel to AxleaRose's "Always". Axl Rose, having been gone long enough, returns home to Slash, who will now reveal the truth about the cause of his manipulative personality.
