So the merry_fates is this community that post discussions and some fawesome short fiction, and sometimes watcher prompts. The latest one was a dictionary definition, so here's my story, which is sort of longer than I expected it to be. *shrug* Hey, it's just *under* 2,000 words. If only just barely.
