Author's Note (highlight):
So... I really did think that I was on the home stretch when I put this listing up. Unfortunately, revisions fractaled into pretty heavy rewrites or expansions for a lot of scenes, and then IRL got in the way for several months. Putting up a piece is always cathartic for an author, but I simply cannot describe how good it feels to finally get this one out. If anybody has been watching this page and waiting curiously for this story to appear, well now's the time, and thank you for your patience.
