so it should be up soon.
Every time I read alan14's blog, where he says a story came to him and was finished that day, I wonder how. Now I know — four hours start to finish. This one isn't as long as his, but it resisted being lengthened, or having sex layered on it, so it's under 1,000 words. It's also a gentle bit of fluff — nothing earthshaking or particularly important, just someone coming to understand more about themselves.
This is in the same universe as Charley and Claire and Protective Coloration, so these characters may show up again (at least I hope so!) The minister in this story is the same one that performs the weddings in chapter 20 or Charley and Claire.
