Note: as of 11/15, the rating will be an R (possibly a strong R?). If and/or when I think it might be necessary, I will change it back to NC17, but as of right now, that seems a bit overly ambitious for this fic, and I don't want to be accused of false advertising. :)

Trying to remain at least two chapters ahead until the story is almost done, but sometimes RL gets in the way....
