Author's Note This was my
yuletide story -- and my first ever real foray into the
Monk fandom. I wrote it for
jane_elliot, who asked for a Stottlemeyer/Disher story -- with PLOT! I'd never thought of focusing on those two (though I did place the characters into my list of characters I would write for!), so I completely blame any awesomeness on her idea. ♥ A big, special thank you to everyone who commented and recommended this story in the community!
Thank you to
alphielj,
alamo_girl80,
foxtwin,
oldromantic and
van_el for the beta help -- I was so nervous about this!
