A/N: And that was as much of this story as I ever actually wrote. It was a fun little idea, but as it got less fluffy and more serious it got way less fun to write for me. Anyways, here is where it was going, and I'm sorry for abandoning it to anyone who really loved it, but that's all I had in me.

But still quite stressful
