*wibble*

My poor, lovely Edrington, so chilly and disdainful. But then, it's hardly surprising to find that a post-Kingston Edrington would be every bit as cool, brittle and aloof as Horatio. Hmmm...I wonder why that is?

Ans I loved that last line; so much intimated about the tenor of their relationship.

Poor Edrington.

Eee!

D'you ever become so attached to the pairing in your head that you occasionally have to remind yourself that it is, in fact, an AU? (e.g., "Well, of course Edrington would have been hit hard by the events of "Retribution," given the intense, highly fraught emotional triangle existing between him, Archie, and Horatio... Er. That is to say, the intense, highly fraught emotional triangle between them existing in my head. Ahem.")

Thanks for wibbling!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Nope, still not getting it.

/looks at angsy Archie/Edrington fic currently on harddrive

It's canon, dammit! something that pretty and angstridden can't be a figment of our imaginations! It can't!

Hee! You're an enabler, you are.

("It's not an AU! I can back it up with scholarly analyses!...What do you mean, they're fictional too?")

Hehehehe. You say that like its a bad thing!

("It's not an AU! I can back it up with scholarly analyses!...What do you mean, they're fictional too?")

Well, you can be the one to break that bit of news to Eustace Knowles and Meredith Reid, et al, 'cos I sure as hell won't be doing it. I want my head to stay where it is currently attached, thank you very much! DR. Reid is currently applying or a fellowship to Cambridge and she wouldn't appreciate being told she's fictional. After all, i'm still hping she might write a full bio on Archie Kennedy/Arthur Kendall/William Clayton some day.

La, la, la, denial is my friend.

Good lord, I can just imagine the size of the footnotes for that undertaking...

Indeed I can! Pity it wouldn't be a fully illustrated tome. ;-)
