Here's my first entry for the rarepair_shorts Summer Wishlist Event of 2022. I have at least one more story planned. This is a new pairing for me, and it was a lot of fun to write.

I wrote this fic for the summer "Wish List" fest at rarepair_shorts. It's a low-key fest: people post "wishes" for pairings and prompts, and then anyone who wants to can fill a wish and post the result. No commitment, no exchange. Minimum word count is only 200. (Maximum is 2000, but my fic went a little over, which isn't a problem. As I say, low-key.)

As you might imagine, very few people request older characters on their wish lists, so when I saw someone ask for Minerva/Rolanda, I was tempted. (There is also a fun request for Minerva/Augusta, so if you are tempted, feel free to indulge. The fest runs through August 20.) I haven't written much lately, and I was feeling the need for femmeslash.

I was just going to dash off a few quick words, but "a few words" for me is usually a relative term. I wrote this, asked the accommodating tetleythesecond to give it a quick read and make sure that it wasn't too dull/pedestrian to be posted, and then put it up on the rarepair_shorts comm.

The immediate result was to drive my recipient off Live Journal: within hours of the fic's appearance, she completely deleted her journal. (I don't really think there is a causal connection, but it makes for a fun story /g/).

Anyway, my dear flisties and friends have been kind enough to greet the story with a lot of comments -- thank you, dears; I do appreciate it. And now for posterity, I post it here.
