I love this story the most of anything I've ever written, so I decided - what the heck, I'll share it. The draft is more-or-less complete, but I will respond to thoughts and suggestions if they seem good to me, so please speak up in comments! I'll be updating very regularly (more than once a week) as long as life doesn't get in the way.

"O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon."
-- WB Yeats
