when the exposition fairy comes to call
You know what's hard about a future!fic/AU-type thingy? Especially when it's short?
EXPOSITION.
"Well, as you know ..."
Yeah. Cuz that doesn't suck AT ALL.
I'm tempted to just write it out, since clearly some badficwriter part of my brain WANTS me to, and then cut it down to something slightly more subtle afterward.
But, on the other hand, it's an actual short story, not a fetal epic. Which is a nice change.
