  Summary

  This is part 1/2 of Crush Hazard! I'm posting this fic in two parts (still working on the second part); it'll drop when it drops bc I can't make any promises. Part 2 will probably be shorter than part 1, but then again I thought this fic was going to be like 7k when I started it so... Anyway, this is my first full length work so I really hope you guys like it :] (also if you like it pleaseplease comment, I love hearing what you think)
