But first–OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Guess what Roxie sent me? Guess? You can’t guess! Not in a million years! I got this box, right? And it was super light, and I couldn’t figure out what it was, and then I opened it and… and… ROXIE YOU’RE A GENIUS AND I LOVE YOU! Do… Read More

Okay– you all asked for it. Angst & veal and knitting, the fanfiction that only a select group of six people on the planet could ever appreciate–and I wrote it. It could be worse. It could be slash.
