Author's Notes: fireflavored, your request has brought me a lot of joy and helped me to write something that's been waiting to come out for a very long time, so thank you so much for that. I only hope, after that open ended prompt, that it pleases you! Thanks to my beta for treating this story with the utmost seriousness, and of course, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the mods for running this wonderful fest! I am so happy and honored to have participated in the final year! Happy holidays! (Oh, and I stole my title from a very lovely poem by Richard Siken, who, if you do not already know it, is perfect in every way.)
