Author's notes: This story was truly a team effort. Team Whimsy's delightful counsel is an integral part of anything you might find in here that works. Thanks so much to the absolutely heroic green_grrl and spuffyduds, torra, catwalksalone and zabira for multiple betas, psychotherapy and cheerleading. The lovely lamentables, simplystars, caersmane, umbrella_half, aingeal8c, capt_spork and alex52324 provided brainstorming, read-throughs, encouragement and inspiration. I'm so grateful to you all, and to the rest of our wonderful team. And, as always, I am grateful to my dear nos4a2no9, who even as the leader of the opposition was gracious enough to encourage me and wish me well in my writing, and whose sage writing advice I always try to keep in mind in any of my efforts.
