I would wager that I've read a double-digit percentage of the stories housed on this webzone over the years (though the exact figure might literally be 10% -- still counts!), and this story stands out in my memory as being one of the absolute best things I'd ever read on any internet fic-sharing community; hell, within arm's reach are books I purchased, read, and put on my bookshelf that I would argue are of an overall poorer quality of prose and narrative than is this -- probably overtopping a novella, let's say novel? Anyway, you'd do yourself a favor to read this one all the way through. (best girl = cassie)
