Story Notes: The first chapter of this is a revised version of what I originally wrote for the "What's My Line Part 2" chapter of my The Slayer and the Vampire story, and a year ago I got comment saying they'd love to see it continued, and, well, I don't usually take note of that but for whatever reason a short little season rewrite was born in my head, and if it HADN'T come at what is the busiest time of the year I would have written it then and there.
 
And yet somehow we are still back at the busiest time of the year, and I decided to crank it out. Thanks to PuellaPulchra for leaving that comment that is the reason this story exists, and to teragramm for the banner that I found on her LJ and asked her to personalize for me, and am only finally using now!
