nope, i never worked together with another author on this fic! unless you count my other author friend beta'ing it for me? the only person i talked to about the fic before i posted it (aside from my beta) was yang, who made the art it was inspired from; i had started formulating a fic before the finished art was posted because we were worming in the dms about the idea. i'd love to know the author, though; i feel like i did take inspiration from a couple gunplay fics i'd read in the past, particularly in one of the youtube fandoms i was in!
