Notes:
I think it’s safe to say that only under amnesty am I going to be posting here for a while. This is the beginning of a much longer story that’ll probably be finished in another few ~~decades~~years.

Also, um... deep apologies for posting, editing, editing, deleting, posting, and editing again. This series of tubes confuses me at times.

( There is an old story... )

jainanicole, who made very sure I didn’t go into the realm of Mary Sue. It was something I was very worried about, writing an original character, since I find Mary Sues anathema to life in general. Erm, also this is way past the word limit, but it's more like guidelines than an actual rule, right?
