Summary
Carson Taylor and Greta Gill meet one day when Carson's Starbucks is closed for renovations and Greta happens to be working at the other cafe along Carson's route to work. What follows is a week-long meet-cute (that you can read all about in the fic "Tethering") and the quick falling neither of them expected. What happens when dreams you build separately as well as together come true, come apart, and make you question what it really is you want... and need.
As part of the Mixed Media SMAU of the same name this story will encompass years of happiness and heartache, addiction, angst, ups and downs, love, love lost, and love found. It's not going to be easy but it will be worth it.

Summary
Not sure this can be summarized. Perhaps an unobtainable depiction of what love/sex/connection can be? Perhaps obtainable? You tell me?
Mind the tags! This didn't get as graphic as I thought it might but still, some talk of blood. And black holes.
