Author’s Notes: More extensive ones may be produced upon request; for now, I just want to thank my wonderful betas:fish_echo , reapertownusa , and booster17, as well as angelicfoodcake, whose art took my breath away. Written for the 2010 sncross_bigbang -- and I also need to thank the moderators of that community for putting this whole thing together and inspiring the object of my obsession for the last five months.
