This story was the joint winner of the
cookleta_hols Post Valentine Jittery Challenge 2010, organized by the lovely
lire_casander!
The challenge gave rise to all sots of amazing fic, including this one by my awesome co-winner
leici, one of the very best Anthemic writers out there, bar none ♥!
You might know I usually fail at short, so this under-1,000 word challenge, based on the prompt “Answer”, was certainly challenging! I was ridiculously pleased with the end product, though.
