Um... I'm the author, and I'm a bit confused. Not sure how this came to be reposted here today, as it was written years ago and the story is on the Archive...
Funny, too... I recently (like, a month or two ago) hauled it out of storage and read through it, and of course I couldn't leave well enough alone so I tweaked it somewhat. But I not only didn't post it, I'm not sure I saved the tweak.
