Week 1 results are in!

Thank you to everyone who read, voted, and commented!

The first place goes to @stormofsharpthings, who wrote "A Rousing Resolution”!

Author names have been added to the original drabble post and comments are being emailed to authors. Authors, if you would like to know your ranking for this week, let us know in a reply to that email!

Title: We Never Seem To Get a Break, Do We?

Words: 447

My entry for week 1 of AELDWS! The prompt was "This wasn't supposed to happen," and the genre was any AU.
