Rating: G

Notes: Written for the "Masks and Masquerades" challenge on sga_flashfic The blind mask-maker is an homage to the character Fate Ravenglass in The Snow Queen cycle by Joan D. Vinge, which will always be one of my top ten favorite SF/Fantasy novels.

( Had it been each of them alone, I might not have been convinced, but they fit together, just as the four moons align. )
