Apriicat, I hope you like this gift! I tried to fit everything you wanted, and then kept panicking that my version of "mild angst" was too angsty for your version, and kept toning it down, and then thinking "oh wait maybe it's not" and tweaking it back up, and then just basically panicking in general, but I think I achieved what I wanted in the end so I really really really hope you enjoy it xxx

(A massive thank you to what ended up being a team of betas *hysterical laughter*. Thank you K, S, and B!! You're amazing and wonderful and perfect and brilliant and- *forcibly stops self*)
