YOU GUYS, it is finished.
Sorry I was slow to post this chapter - everybody’s enthusiasm gave me performance anxiety. :)
Oh my goodness, apparently I write novella-length fanfic now. With prodigious amounts of shagging in it. WHO KNEW.
Thank you to all the lovely people who have commented. I am going to be terribly bereft in another three days’ time when I don’t get to hear from you again.
Also if anyone would like to write fic about Higgins’ sexual identity crisis arising from the events of this story, I am so here for that.
