This is the result of a woeful tale of procrastination, writer's block, overstretching, and eventually perseverance: two versions of the same story. The shorter one is all I managed to get done in time for the
holmestice exchange. The longer one is the story I originally set out to write, finally completed mere hours before the absolute deadline I set myself of December 31st. I don't know if one is better than the other; the shorter one is fluffier but has several incomplete arcs. The longer one is angstier and might meander a bit but they both get to the same point in the end. In any event, I am extremely grateful to the Holmestice mods for their patience and generosity with me, and to
kinkajou for the prompts which seemed to have been custom picked for my particular likes.
