MR was such a delight to talk to. This was probably my favorite of the three stories we read this week. Perhaps *because* I'm in academia? Now to share it with my co-workers.

I had so much fun chatting with @electricsheepsf.bsky.social this morning about a few of my stories… and also hope and rage and despair and the objective fact that Dragon Age 2 is the best Dragon Age. An honor and a joy to be invited. Kind of made me want to drop everything and write a short story 👀

First, destroy this pamphlet. Leave no trace, not even a scrap. Consumption is best, though for older models without interior storage, incineration will do.

We know this is spec fic because the protagonist finds the perfect jeans at a thrift shop - and it only gets better from there!
