Yes, that's the twenty year old Ocelot from ''Metal Gear Solid 3''. Not surprisingly, the story involves [[Time Travel]].

Apart from its unusual pairing and premise, the story is notable for its length (71 chapters plus prologue and epilogue), its multiple plot arcs, its blend of serious character-driven drama and quirky humor, and writing [[Purple Prose|a bit towards the lower-wavelength end of the visible spectrum.]] And Otacon's adorable in it.

=== Tropes contained in ''Stray'': ===

* [[Actor Allusion]]: "the cold, thousand-yard glare [[David Hayter|Snake]] would give anybody who spoke ill of the first two X-Men movies."

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: ''Stray'' was originally a one-shot story, which covered major events from Hal and Adamska's first meeting through the beginning of the Shadow Moses arc in a series of vignettes. Then the author decided to do an expansion/rewrite, which included several new story arcs and more time for relationship development.
