PWP? What PWP?

(That's fun to say with the acronym expanded. "Plot? What Plot?" What "Plot? What Plot?")

I've been working on a Severus/Sirius/Regulus PWP for about two months now, which is the first smut I've tried to write. I think that perhaps a threesome was the wrong way to break into the business, and I should have spent some time leveling up first. Too many limbs to keep track of. Running out of pronouns.

P.S. Yes, two months to produce 2200 words. I keep tellin' y'all I'm not a writer.
