One of the agents I queried wrote and said she'd love to read what I've got, and to send it along.
Prepared for the worst, hopeing for the best, and will take all the luck you can send.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Well, they're not actually going to have sex in the cave--that'd be too soon. It is, however, when all vows of "we must obey all the rules and never for a moment forget who and what we are" start to break down.

Also, note that I couldn't spell "hoping" correctly. Gah I'm nervous.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HMOG Allyson, that's great!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
And I'm definitely thinking through here to figure out if I've got the right balance of danger and sex, bearing in mind that I'm the type who rolls my eyes forever at a certain type of sex while in Mortal Peril. I'm all, "No. You're not doing that now. There are people with guns CHASING YOU, you don't even have so much as a locked door to protect you, and you're gonna get it on? Nuh-uh. Let me break it to you--until you get away from the people with the guns, flight takes priority over nookie, or I'm doubting your Darwinian fitness."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That's great, Allyson! Good luck.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
ALLYSON!
If the air near you rippled just now, it was from the big old YESSSS! fistpump I gave.
