Story Notes: Set in S7, somewhere after "The Killer in Me", this is a reverse POV, sort of, to honeygirl51885's Sleep Walk. And she's really the reason this exists at all-- I owe her so much thanks for the suggestion to try my first 1000 word drabble (which I DID, with two words to spare!), the permission to piggyback off of her work, the title, the incredibly beautiful banner, the talking through this premise with me, and the opening up a series for both of these stories to live in!! So, all the hugs for her... she does so much for me and I am unworthy. 
 
And a massive shout-out for my beta trevino... for being the incredibly supportive and sweet friend she always is, and for getting this back to me pretty much immediately!
