A/N: Written for
five_0_frolic, this story went through a record seven drafts before it came full circle to my original idea for it. My gratitude to
kilawater,
smirnoffmule, and
citrinesunset, who in various stages of this project allowed me to flail at them about it, and to
eumelia, who held my hand via email and chat throughout the writing process and provided that critical cheerleading I needed to finish this, in the week she herself was finishing her degree (above and beyond, bb!) Lastly, I'm indebted to
perspi, for the fabulous beta job, and
alba17, for providing the prompt.
