   Summary

   What are the ingredients for a good night’s sleep? That’s a question for a storyteller. The storyteller doesn’t know. She doesn’t. She should know.

   //

   The requisite “how did Tai and Van end up sleeping tied together” fic, but make it fashionably late. Featuring: flashbacks that are also flash-forwards, gratuitous fire metaphors, Misty Fucking Quigley, and the tyranny of meta-narratives. Rated G for girlkissing.
