A/N: I am overjoyed to have been allowed to do this for arianne, one of the most fabulous people LJ has brought to me, not just because I adore her, but also because she wrote The Short Face Bear Project for my challenge and, frankly, it's one of the best things I've ever read. She didn't get her anglicandoorway fic, though, so here it is.
I've played around with one detail of the plot but it's not an important one. ;)
Warning: Cross-dressing, but not squickily so.

Curtain up...
