it's been 99.9% done for a bit actually!!! in the wake of recent events... i've been.. hmm.... revising it a bit. things will probably make sense when it's published and i will certainly have An Author's Note To Add. there's a lot of heavy stuff being discussed and i want to make sure it is done in a respectful and nuanced way that still stays true to the point of the fic! have been having a lot of discussions w friends about what fiction is and What Is The Point ™ and i have gained lots of clarity.. at the expense of this ch's workshopping im afraid..... my deepest apologies.... she is on her way...
