And I could never, ever, ever have written this fic if you hadn't walked me through all the groundwork for it. And told me the ideas. And held my hand through figuring out A/O. I mean, I got the first line of this by sitting and thinking about how you might characterize why an A/O relationship with Q in the background in this way would be interesting and worth exploring.
