Author's Note: This story is unbeta'd and probably a little rough. I hope to get it beta'd and post to AO3 soon, so please feel free to point out any mistakes. All kinds of feedback are always welcome.
Capitano kindly emailed me that even though I missed the deadline, I could still post as long as I did before they did the round up this morning (UK time). So hopefully I'm not too late!
Also, this has been a crazy summer for me, so I haven't yet gotten around to reading many of the entries. I do hope to go back and read and comment when/if I have the chance!
Note on the title: Continuing this series' theme of taking titles from punk songs of the era, this story's title is from the song of the same name by Fear. You can listen here. Warning for offensive language though.
