A/N: This is a bit of a thought experiment for me. I was curious to see what might happen if some of the assumptions we made about characters turned out to be inaccurate. So so so many thanks to
lanalucy for her amazing and very patient beta on this. Also, yes, there will be at least one more part, maybe two, depending on where the wind moves me.
