rainbowfic AU that got rather out of hand. I wrote it in 2019 as a thing to cheer myself up and never really intended to type it up (for various reasons but also because I was amusing myself in part by writing this while reading Austerity Britain and making it the dullest AU ever as is appropriate for 1947) but then I decided I would to cheer myself up and keep typing regularly with 2020 being what it was, so I did. These two choices probably shouldn't have gone together. But I've finally edited the thing now, so here it is.
It also fills 2 bingo squares and arainbowfic prompt and hopefully it will cheer at least somebody else up sometime too, and it is always good practice at steady writing, so I don't regret my life choices as much as I ought to.
