Colonel Kink's Theme of the Fortnight #5

For the next two weeks, we'd like to highlight gen, that is fills that are about things other than romantic or sexual relationships. Consider the friendship, the rivalry, the mentorship, the family relationship, or someone's personal reflections. Try searching the humble ampersand (&) on the prompts list, or looking for prompts only listing one character. Please remember that while fills containing background romantic/sexual relationships are allowed, the focus of your work shouldn't be on them.

(Fills complying with this theme are worth two points if submitted before the newsletter goes live on 19 May)
