That makes me really happy! I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be this many T/S fics out there if you hadn't prompted me for the past year or so. It really sparked something and now I'm actually pretty close to finishing the 100-fic challenge.

Yep, I know what you mean. I read through that "God Shield the Flock" or whatever my case-fic was called, and I found that I could probably tweak it a little to make it better, i.e. to make Steve less of a jackass and more of a "shit-we-crossed-a-line-what-do-we-do-about-it-now" tension. So, basically, just remove the whole side story with Tessa's ectopic pregnancy and do a different spin on it to explain the tension between them. I'd also add some flashback scenes to better understand what the hell is going on between them. Meh, we'll see if I ever get to that. I've also got that "Absent Friends" follow-up to my "Still Life" rewrite that I haven't been able to finish yet. *sigh* Once these mock exams are done, maybe I'll have time to focus on the larger fics... For now, I'm resorting to oneshots. :)
