I don’t know how I’d be spending my Halloween without it. And thanks to my lovely beta, lordhellebore as always, and missingkeys for the last minute save! You two are my heroes. ♥

lq_traintracks, this ficlet was born out of your prompt: “A cold tomb behind his/her back”. You might find that I used it metaphorically, and I really hope you don’t mind, as I kind of got attached to the idea that it gave me.
