You know...I hadn't planned to write this at all. I had another, entirely different idea. Abandoned it. Started another story that was *similar* to this, yet had a different structure.

And wound up here. :-)

I'm also THRILLED you got my future continuous reference. For the longest time this was simply entitled "Sloth Fic." Last night about an hour before I posted I thought, "Hmm. I think I've gotta do better than that." The tense references weren't anything I'd planned on. It just all seemed to fit together.

I'm so happy you felt the emotions rang true. Thanks for letting me know.
