This zine contains two long stories by Katie Steuer. (front cover by Lupe Backe)

I was tempted into buying it at Redemption '01 when a fellow TS fan waved the delicious cover at me, letting me know that Mysti Frank had arrived and was in the dealers room.

I should have paid more attention when it was described to me as hurt/comfort. Because that's what it is, and far too much for my taste. Lots of people loved it, I'm sure, but I don't enjoy stories where the sole purpose of the villains is to use Blair as a punching bag, and the sole purpose of Blair is to be kidnapped and traumatized. It was just too much torment and too much fanon for my taste. I read the first story all the way through, but when I realized that the second story was going to be more of the same, I just couldn't go on.
