Good Naomi, bad William? Jim and Blair meet as kids.

Looking for a short fic where kid Blair is at a company picnic and bumps into Ellison Sr., getting ice cream on William's clothes. William goes to hit Blair and Naomi slaps him. Kid Jim comes running to help Blair, and their spirit animals show up. I've been wracking my brain trying to remember where I read this. It was a sentinels/guides are known type setting. Thanks!
