Warnings: Internalized ableism. Also a drunk guy kisses another drunk guy but it proceeds no further.

Summary: The Hennessy siblings will do anything for each other. Anything at all.
Warnings: skip
incestual sex, discussion of a consensual sexual encounter that was nevertheless deeply unhappy and unfun

Notes: All of my thanks go to Kelly for cheerleading, talking me down, helping me with scenes, betaing this monster of a fic (even if we do have fundamental disagreements about commas), and basically making this damn near interactive art. It never would have been finished without you.

Reminder

Title: Reminder
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Miranda Hennessy and John Reese discuss collars.
Warnings: Some blink-and-miss-it discussion of BDSM sexytimes, but all parties are consenting adults in happy relationships, so.
Notes: This one's gonna take a little explaining. So I watch this show called Person of Interest, which is amazing and I recommend everyone watch it if you're into crime shows where the women are utterly amazing and the men are faintly ridiculous. Turns out Sara watches it too, and she wrote fic (which I also recommend) that takes place in an alternate universe where your gender is not defined by your biological sex but rather by whether you are a dominant or submissive personality, and as I understand it, a collar is roughly equivalent to a wedding ring. I'm borrowing it from the Polyfaceted crew, but I believe it was conceived by some other folks? IDK. It's not mine.

Everyone got that? Good. From that confluence of events, this story happened. Blame Sara. And enjoy.
