Author's Notes: A million thank yous to
nafs, the most amazing and patient cheerleader and beta in the world. Without her, this story would not exist, and I would be in a padded cell somewhere, mumbling about my fear of endings.
Also thank you to
thesamefire for beta duties and assuring me that yes, I should keep going, and
thejumpcut, the other half of my brain, for listening to me bitch for months on end, and swooping in to save me when my shenanigans were broken.
Thanks to the mods for their incredible hard work putting this challenge together, to
poseys_demise for her fantastic artwork, and to
violent_helena and
nimmy for their unbelievable mixes, which everyone should download immediately. I am so, so lucky to have been spoiled this way, thank you all so much!
Title from Wild Eyed Boy by Birds of Tokyo, inspired by
nimmy's mix.
