No, fascinating is good, I understand. And in that mode...I appreciate the thanks. On the one hand, it's something I really wanted to write and share, and on the other hand, it feels like I've peeled back my own skin to let people look at what's underneath. It's terrifying. On the gripping hand, I keep making reference to it, and I really wanted to have a place to point people and say "and this is where I'm coming from."
Amusingly, one of the things I really wanted to write, a few years ago, was a Torchwood/Wimsey crossover, because really, Jack and Peter together, even if all they do is drink tea, is stupidly awesome. (I have a...fraught relationship with mystery as a genre, but about five years back I dropped down the Wimsey rabbit-hole with a vengeance. Gaudy Night, which is unquestionably my favorite, I've listened to (love the audiobooks...!) something like ten times in the last five years--the first three back to back to back.)
I really wish I knew for sure what had triggered it; it's a comment side effect of the drugs, and while I'm off them now, I've spent some time off them before without noticing a difference. Then again, was I looking for a difference? It's frustrating--and really makes me hope I can stay stable now, because I can't lose then again, having gotten it back.
Yay, puppies! Well, given my choice, it would be "yay kittens", but McKinley's analogy is too perfect not to use, and she's a dog person. So.
