Author's Note: This is my first piece of fanfiction in several years, so I apologise for any rustiness. Many thanks and much love to vissy, who originally pointed me to the prompt and asked: "Write this one for me" and who then became my partner in crime and general cheer team while this fic took on a mind of its own. And thank you, feedbackers at the kinkmeme, for giving me the inspiration to keep going. Feedback is much appreciated. I'd forgotten how much fun this can be.

Part One is here.
