Author's Notes: I look upon this story fondly as the little Big Bang that could, mostly penned in the space of a week and poked and prodded until it finally took shape. I can't express enough gratitude to starsandgraces, who cheerleaded me on through an eleventh-hour sinus infection and believed that I could pull off finishing this, even when I thought it was impossible. Not to mention her patient feedback through multiple plot, pairing, and trope changes as I tried to nail this sucker down. She even stuck around to beta at the end of it all. Thank you, dearest, for your unflagging support.

Thank you as well to gadgetorious for her astounding artwork that I can't get over, and to loveflyfree for a beautifully crafted mix, You're So Worthy, You Are. It means so much to me that you chose to lend your talents to this story.

Title comes from a song by Wolf Parade, which you can listen to here.
