fic! also it is cold here but I don't want to talk about it!

In the past week, I have accomplished at least 85% of the things I was supposed to, and for the first time in a year and a half actually finished a thing that I started writing. (This thing I started and finished in an afternoon. The last thing, I started and finished in the middle of the night. I think the moral of this story is if I have the urge to write, I need to actually do it, right then.)

(I have spent 3? maybe 4? weeks total in Chicago in my whole life, and the most enduring memory I have from any of that time is that the cop cars look like taxis and the taxis look like cop cars. AND YET I managed to screw up the color of cop cars' lights for this and not notice until many hours later, by which point I just decided to roll with it. I have made AUs of stupider things. Shameless has 100% messed up stupider things.)
