A/N - I'm celebrating writing 100 fics on Tumblr (check out my profile on Ao3 for all my collab fics)! Send me a pairing (doesn't have to be SessKag), an occupation, and a colour, and I'll write you a ficlet! See the post linked for the official rules. Thanks so much for all your encouragement in my writing journey! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your support.
