Author's Note: I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post things like this, but I'll go ahead and try. 50 sentences dedicated to the crack pairing that is Fran/Spanner. Challenge from LJ. It's out of character, 'cause I can't really make Fran in character in one sentence… Some sentences contain suggestive themes, but nothing graphic. Written in one go!
