You deserve so much more than this fic, but nonetheless, L, I want you to know that this comes from the heart. You are so, so fucking dear to me, more so than I know how to put into words, and I can't imagine my life without your love, support and friendship. I just hope you enjoy this. &hearts

Thanks to dolce_piccante, myz_bee & captivemuse for taking a look at this for me so close to the holiday and for being precious to me always. Thanks to theyellow_daisy for love and support always, but most particularly these past few days. (Watch this space tomorrow, wifey!) Love to all of you.
