Holy unexpected positive feedback, Batman! I guess this means I can go back to my real username. Honestly, I thought the Chan would hate this, which is why I never posted it until now. It was written in the draft of an email during lunchbreaks at my summer internship. It was also the first TF2 piece I wrote, and I dismissed it when I finished as being messy and cliche (the second thing I wrote, The Shape of A Boomerang, was the only thing I ever posted, and was a fill for the kink meme). Honestly, at the time this felt like butter spread over too much bread. One day I was sitting around and #9 popped into my head, but I realized six sentences did not a story make, so I was like, "lol i guess i'll slap ten of these together and call it a fic it can be artsy and everything." Then I forgot about it, and it took some serious ego-tripping via googling myself and finding out that someone had requested the other story I had written on the Lost and Found thread to finally go "fuck it" and post this. TEAL DEER I am pleasantly surprised by your kind remarks (even Marty likes it! Does that mean I get to be a cool kid now? I always wanted to be) and now want to take on the challenge of doing the other classes. Like all great fiction I write during class, and today I had a creative writing and Russian lit course. Guess who's up next.
