Okay, first off, I'm still retired. This doesn't count. I had mentioned previously that I'd committed myself to a project before my retirement was official.
This fic was rejected for that project, so I thought I'd just delete it from my hard drive. But, someone (who will remain nameless, lest others chastise him/her for their actions) 'suggested' that I should post this anyway.
I was okay with that from the standpoint of 'waste not want not' (don't ask me what that means), but since I think only three or four people ever read the Future series I'm not sure how much mileage I'll get from this.
Okay, I posted it, and that means that any comments can be posted here.
