Author's Note: Written for White Collar Big Bang 2016. I dusted off an old fic I started a few years ago, and decided to use Big Bang as my motivation to finish it. Thanks to everyone who helped, from sapphire2309, my ever present cheerleader, who brainstormed with me years ago when I first started it, and when I picked it back up this past summer, to aragarna, sheenianni, and sherylyn, who were always there to be a sounding board and so much more.

And of course, thanks so much to aragarna for the beautiful artwork that accompanies this fic! *hugs* It was fun working with you!!
