Author’s notes:

For some reason, I really struggled last year with my story for DWNOGA. Probably because it was an AU. Whatever, I was really kind of tired of writing being such a chore around that time. Topaz told me to try writing every day, 100 words, if I could. So I tried to do that, and I started to relax a bit.

The 2006 Remix in April was a real challenge, for a variety of reasons, and I ended up writing an extremely fucked up Lambs story. But while the story was fucked up, I was really feeling the Lambs vibe by the time I was finished writing it. Then sola_fiamma and madame_d started the slashfic25 community, and provided 25 amazing, incredible prompts. I looked at those, and this whole story fell into place in my head.

So that’s where the prompts came from. I’ve never had a writing experience that was as satisfying as this one, or so much fun. But while I’m immensely proud of this story, I’m the first to admit that it’s a bit wordy, and is probably better in small doses. I know I can’t read the whole thing at once, because it makes me want to smack them all, or at least Lance and Chris. So, read it the way I posted it, a chapter every couple of days, and you won’t want to kill them all at the end.

Thanks to Ashley, and lesa_soja, and everyone else who cheered me on along the way.
