dira | here we go again.

I have written a thing, and while I usually don't go blaming other people when that happens, this time it is practically entirely

lyra_sena's fault. She gave me a place to crash for two nights after ConneXions, and she fed me and had a cute cat and showed me the latter four Horatio Hornblower movies, as she didn't have the first four handy right at that second. And when I held up my hands to indicate a very small thing and said, "I want to write a story this big," she said, "Oh, yes, do that!"

And then I wrote a story, very slightly more than this big.

lyra_sena was a most patient beta while I was something of a wuss about rewrites, and

damned_colonial significantly aided and abetted the whole process by carefully explaining to me how the pants--and everything else--work. A lot of people listened to me whinge about this story over the last three weeks, and now the suffering is over. *g*

Passing (16k). It's slash, set near the end of Retribution, and rates about a PG.

Also, as I am a bit of a number dork, I am pleased to observe that this is the 75th story in the 17th fandom on my site. Wheeeee!
