You're very kind. I may not get to them tonight (I kind of wasted a lot of the day both playing and writing about X-COM) but I'll just let you know that my reaction to much of it is... strong. In a good way. I've read an awful, awful lot of fanfiction about Azula and Nothing That Is Inbetween is up there. Honestly, parts of it are not what I've come to expect from your house style at all, and again I mean that in the best possible way.

I'm actually surprised you got nearly all the way through the thing without some kind of Promethean theft metaphor all up there in the titles.
