This story was written for the wonderfully generous usakeh, who won a Queensland Relief story. She asked me to write the fic for hoosierbitch, who has been hard at work in grad school.

Many, many thanks to my “Flying Buttresses” - my support community: coffeethyme4me, jrosemary and rabidchild67. Their wisdom, collective and individual, has made this story so much better that it was.

Go to Part I
