If you enjoyed this story, please check out the series of related fics in this AU, including the story that started it all, if you dare. After some back and forth idea bouncing, the author said they'd be happy if I wrote my own story within their AU, which is this story, In the flush of love's light, we dare be brave. We are now writing together and have six stories to share,  all on AO3. More will be coming soon!
