By | October 9, 2009

((In Anna’s comment thread about how our characters deal with grief and hard times, I mentioned that Annalea’s been a bit…self-destructive recently.  A discussion with Tarquin about how Tarq and Annalea are handling their current situations (or not-handling, perhaps) prompted him to write this amazing post.  “Just For One Night” is a companion to Tarq’s [...]
