Going to scrap the imaginary thing. It’d be veering from the Yellow Brick Road. Had some inspiring feedback from the last story, so I’m going to make like a postage stamp: stick to it until it gets there. E3 and Meredith’s birthday are over now, so I should be able to find some time for…

I’ve started work on something bigger.
