written for: the level-up competition, tutorial: stage one, task one
notes: writing a seventy-five word fic featuring an argument is a bizarrely specific and, before now, unexpected addition to the list of things i am not convinced i could ever do again. omg.
thanks: to anyone who read this; sorry that it isn't longer, welp, but restrictions—i will update this collection asap though with a longer one as recompense for your time!
warnings: no warnings as such except that this is only 75 words lmao so it's different from my usual style
disclaimer: disclaimed.
