I wrote this out a few months ago, around October or so, and had set it aside in my "to proofread and edit" folder to look over later, and promptly forgot about it! I found it again while I was browsing through my old stories to see which I could finish and post, and was pleasantly surprised with how well it seemed to hold up, if not actually seem to get -better- after forgetting about it for a while.

Enjoy!
