I am skating along at the mercy of these beautiful boys. I have no idea if the thing will get finished, or even from one moment to the next whether they'll ever talk to me again.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, chronological seems best. I may present the original three drabbles separately first, then the whole thing with them in context. I'm kinda jazzed at how those three pieces present something that ends up being so different than what it seems like at first.

-sigh- Jesus, this whole thing has been so unexpected. I feel like I'm riding a rip current here, no idea where it's taking me.
