Owned - a/n for part 5

you may have noticed that I'm prone to ridiculously long author's notes, haha. filthy habit, can't help myself. I wrote one for the chapter I'm about to post at AO3 and since it's really not at all necessary outside my neurosis for shared meaning, I decided that I'd go ahead and post it here instead of on the chapter itself.

( once upon a time, I fell down a research hole called '24/7 vs TPE' )
