Author’s Note:  Not my characters, only my words. Written for 2014 TFW BigBang. Thank you for the amazingly speedy and very useful beta, amypond45. Big thanks to uke_sama_sensei  for the wonderful art! Title was inspired by the Black Keys Song “Hard Row”, lyrics are in italics throughout the story. But you should definitely listen to it here.
