Story Notes: I write so many missing scenes, and have been thinking about this one EVER since I first watched "Tabula Rasa," but when it came to writing it... I realized why it's taken me so long to get here, lol. It's such a beautiful, amazing kiss that promises so much goodness to come, and yet we know there is only angst ahead for these two! 
 
Beta'd by the INCREDIBLY gracious and patient and talented the_big_bad. Banner by me!! First one released to the public--- but I'm likely retiring from the graphic arts world after this, lol. It is not for me.
