Notes: This is the last post of Part 1 of the Fulcrum (and the last Ecru prompt, as well). In terms of Rainbowfic posts, this is almost exactly 1/3 of the way through the full story. Thank you guys for reading! There will be a short break where I post two non-Fulcrum-related things, and then I will be back with the beginning of Part 2.
