Jes' original is a tender look at Billy carefully coaxing Don to let go. It made me want to bodysnatch Mr. Trust Issues Eppes for a while. Yum.
As delicious as her version was, I couldn't resist roughing them up and bringing some power struggle into it. It took me a long time to strike the right notes and prepare for the ending, but I knew I wanted to highlight Don's struggle to submit, and illuminate what changed between them after the blindfold went on, to allow him to do so. After many incomplete or unsuccessful tries, I feel satisfied with this version.
Many thanks to beta emmademarais for a) bugging me repeatedly to sign up at remixthedrabble, b) for long, thinky talks about the nature of remixes and how to best approach one, and c) pushing me to really nail this fic, refusing to let me give up until I accomplished what I set out to achieve.
Thanks also to jestana for writing the original story, and putting these two in a situation I could. not. resist. I'm so happy it pleased you, sweetie!
Last but certainly not least, thanks to sophinisba for giving me room to create the necessary diversion for emmademarais and all the mods of remixthedrabble for a fantastic round!
