Also available on FF.net (I recommend Ao3, tho; FFN as usual wouldn't let me have any fun with the formatting)

It's in four chapters, and I'll be posting one every week for the next three weeks, plus the bonus scenes along with the last installment.

I removed the earlier draft from the posts where I'd shared it. If anybody still wants to help polish the rest, PM me and I can send it to you --- sneak preview in exchange for comments! ^_~;

I also decided to count this as my promised fic-posting for April as well as March, since the rest of the chapters will be posted through April --- it took about two months to draft it, I can take two months' worth of credit...

Hope you enjoy it!
