Author's Notes: An angsty, angsty angst-fest,
with a big dollop of jeopardy thrown in.
This story is written as Gen, but I think it can equally be read
as pre-slash or implied slash, depending on how the reader wants
to take it. This was a deliberate intention on my part.
Kudos to Banbury for two thought-provoking and enigmatic pictures,
which were really great to work with, and for the lovely banner.
Inestimable thanks, as usual, to Alobear for her
characteristically swift, precise and insightful beta job. Any
mistakes that remain are mine alone. And of course, huge thanks to
the Mods, without whom all this fun wouldn’t be possible!
