Title: Ingenuity
Author: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) primroseburrows
Pairing/characters F/K, OFC
Rating: PG-13 for Fraserish double entendre
Length: 1292 words
Prompt: Inuvik School Works on Revamping Outdated Library
Disclaimers: Not mine, same as always.
[A/N: This is not the story I intended to write. This isn't even remotely LIKE the story I intended to write. It's all nos4a2no9's fault that it's different because she had to go and mention my Kidfic O' Doom. So this is really for Nos, because I really am glad I wrote it. Not sure if this'll be part of the final universe or go AU, but in either case, I'll shut up now and let y'all read.]
