Rating: PG (13 for a few words)

Title: Fake Birds and Real Holidays (~8,300 words)
Author: xparrot
Rating: PG
Warnings: Set post-season 4, so contains unfounded speculation about the future (I don't have s5 spoilers and don't want 'em). Fluff that veers into angst at unexpected moments (well, I wasn't expecting them, anyway.) Also, major insulin warning: Do not read if you're ( Read more... )
