Lights of Endangered Species (new fic)

On AO3 and FFN. During a routine job, Tess has a run-in with her past. Set a year before the events of the game.

alternative summaries: "literally ~13,000 words of Tess backstory", "that thing i wouldn't quit whining about on Tumblr for months", "writing this drove me to drink"

I'm pretty sure that I'm not actually proud of it, but it is done and it is finished, it has a beginning and a middle and an end and characters that perform actions, and at the end of the day that's what writing's all about, right.

Anyway I'm going to go pour myself a very stiff drink and play video games.
