Summary:
Things had been at equilibrium with Zenigata for years. Then Moneta came along.
At some point after their last job in this middle-of-nowhere town, Zenigata had suffered some kind of nasty head injury. Had lost his memory. And he'd assumed that he was supposed to be a thief, because apparently even with amnesia he was obsessed with Lupin.
By all rights, it could have been a funny story, something for Lupin to lord over him after he got his memory back. Could have even made good blackmail material, if Pops was the kind of guy who would ever need to be blackmailed.
But then Lupin went and had sex with him. And that changed the equation quite a bit.

When I Started: 2021
How I Lost My Shit: Well, I usually either start writing with some sort of plan, or I write one scene and then stop forever. This fic was the latter one-- I wrote the first scene and set it down for three years.
How I Finished My Shit: I originally signed up for the WIP Big Bang with two fics that were not this one. Then, about a week or two after signups the muse abruptly left both of them and flew into this one and suddenly I HAD TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW.
Eventually, okay, I petered out a little bit, and got to the point I usually get when I spend too long on a fic where I have no idea if I'm even typing words any more and editing is like pulling teeth. Still, this is not only my longest completed fic to date by a country mile, but my first ever multichapter, and I'm pretty damned proud of that!!
