Okay, so on Mastodon someone was asking about holiday fanfic, and I said there were some I liked to read every year and I thought of this one, so I thought I'd read it again and bump it, and what a ride it's been! The story itself was great of course, but oh, old memories of old friends, and how we've all changed... Well I know I sure have, and I assume everyone in this thread has as well, though reading these posts did make the clock turn back for a little while! Literally laughing 'til I couldn't breathe at me and Beau going back and forth, startling my cat in the process, talking to the characters and telling jokes as if I was right in the story with them...
To any of my old friends out there, I hope wherever you are in your life now, you're happy and content.
