Author's Notes: Emrys MK, it was an absolute delight and a bit daunting task to create a gift for you. I am a sucker for pretend relationships and unrequited love that are actually requited, so I decided that was the way to go. I had intended on creating art for this fest, but soon enough, I realized that I couldn't say all I have to say with the art. (Also the words sort of popped into my head as I was drawing). The words were just meant to be captions, but somehow they blew up? This is by no means a completely fleshed out story. These are more like snippets. Or very detailed captions. I think with the art, I bit off more than I can chew and so not all the pieces I had planned made it into the entry. I am terribly sorry about that. Hope they make sense and you enjoy them anyway.
