Fake News: Prey Mentality

Title: Prey Mentality
Fandom: The Colbert Report
Genre: Drama to Stephen, comedy to the rest of us
Rating: PG-13 for the contents of Stephen's dirty, dirty mind
Words: ~2400
Disclaimer: ( The usual two. )

Notes: The first fic in which I really dug into Stephen's elaborate system of denial, repression, sublimation, and projection.

Started this shortly after the Bill O'Reilly show ("Jon Stewart is a sexual predator"), and finished it after hearing Stephen's follow-up next week ("I did not do it right away, Bill! We talked, we went to dinner … I thought we made a connection. The whole thing felt very organic"). Comes with an associated sketch.

( Jon Stewart must be a sexual predator. Why else would Stephen feel so flustered in his presence? )
