    Summary

    The best things in life come without a grand opening. No sweeping gestures or sudden, dramatic shifts. Instead, they come with quiet hands, persistence, tired voices, and eyes that no longer flinch when they meet. The mess was still there, dented and stained, but smaller. Manageable. It came in fragments and things left unsaid, and for once, it was enough.

    The twelfth in a very long, very ongoing series! Finally, a fic that isn't doom and gloom, which I think we all needed. It's a little different, and shorter than usual again, but a very necessary edition to the series. As always, the art, if there is any for this fic, will be on my deviant art at Spaceiscool2000. Thank you!
