Not only did the author, Sean Catlett, decide not to finish the story, but now he’s removed it fom FF.Net altogether when I fancied a re-read. I had it saved to my computer at one point, though I can’t find it anywhere now. I can’t remember who recommended this story originally (might have been Pierson, maybe?), but I’m wondering if anyone saved it, and if they did, whether they can send it to me
