What started out in late November as an idea for a longer-form mission fic (swapped team members! sorta clones! action and firefight in the gateroom!) has morphed into a single, if extended, post-mission fluff and humor scene instead (you're not still a clone, right?). Which was unexpected, but it's not like I can resist that kind of silly happiness.

5000-ish words later, the rough draft is in pretty good shape, but the last half is totally mocking me with its refusal to really settle down. The Romancing McShep fest seems like just the right nudge to get it to gel... I hope?

Anyway, I'm determined to get some form of the story done, even if the final (extremely silly) bit gets posted as a later chapter.

So thanks for the encouragement. =)
