This story is everything I hoped for, and shiny, besides.

This makes me so happy! Hooray!

Seriously -- I had a fantastic time writing this story. It was a joy. The video is so wonderful and strange, and I was consumed by the process of trying to figure out what sort of story I could tell about it, and then I had truly fantastic betas who helped me whip it into shape, and it brought me a ton of joy. Plus, added bonus, I got to give you a Yuletide present! <3
