Aw, you guys, thank you so much for all the feedback -- and the gentle (or not) poking for Part 2. This has been a really nice homecoming to writing fic.
Real life has gotten in the way of me writing (largely in the form of a now-running small child and a full-scale bathroom renovation) but it is coming along, I swear. I am aiming to have it up next week, so bear with me, pretty please?
And, if you're really nice, I'll write a bonus nfic chapter to show what REALLY happened that night.
