Mad props to my betas: hiddenlacuna, bachin221b, mydwynter, aria, archiaart, traumachu. Lacuna and Deux, truly deserve the credit for this story, since they both grabbed me at certain key points and shook me till I agreed not to delete it. This story exists thanks to them, and I hope they don’t have cause to regret it. <3
