spooks: light swells (in a distant space)

[inflightdata]

So, I FINISHED EXAMS YESTERDAY. And 10x06 kind of happened and I needed a way to exorcise my demons, I guess. I really should have edited this a lot, bit it's almost 4AM, I'm working tomorrow and. Yes. Fun fact: this originally started off as a piece of meta! I think this will become glaringly obvious, reading through this. I jammed Cyantific

I wasn't sure if I'd be ready to read this, but it turns out I was. The language you use does justice to the show and these characters; I liked this very much. You captured perfectly the sense within the final episode that, really, things were never going to end any other way.

Also, hi. Meg (missymeggins) is a mutual friend and told me we were experiencing the same Spooks-induced pain!

Heeee, hi! I was just checking if you'd read this or not so I could link it to you if you hadn't lol. (I didn't read, promise.)

[etoilefilante]

Ha! That's so sweet! Very glad you didn't read, though. It would ruin EVERYTHING. Get watching get watching get watching! ♥

Aw, hello friend of Meg! You're automatically a Cool Person. Thank you for your comment! I am really glad to hear I've done some justice to the show in terms of tone and language - every time I sit down to write Spooks fic, I'm terrified I'm screwing it up good and proper.

UGHHHHHHHHHH 10x06. Way too messed-up. But absolutely perfect. Ow, ow, ow, my heart. (I love your icon!)

UGH MIKI. Kick me when I'm down etc.

You always pick the choicest details: The collection of books far outnumbered anything else in there. He picked up a copy of Plato’s Apology, covered in notes. One sentence, underlined twice: "the difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs deeper than death."

Lovely.

I'm sorry! Also, thank you. I totally used this fanfic as an excuse to indulge all my philosophy kinks - I only took a political philosophy and bioethics unit this year at uni, so getting back into my highschool ethics notes? Good times.

(PS: rather excited for your Dimitri/Tariq fic. HNNNNNNNNNGH.)

I'm squinting at the screen through tears that are threatening to fall and swallowing hard.

[inflightdata]

Aw, I'm sorry! 10x06 was pretty painful, huh. I totally sympathise. I hope this story wasn't too traumatising!

[persiflage_1]

No, it was beautiful and sad and very well done.

[zulu_ottawa]

The details - especially Plato - are perfect. I have no other words.

[inflightdata]

Hey, thanks! Coming from a writer as adept as yourself, that's lovely to hear. Cheers!

[zulu_ottawa]

Aw, and thank you for such a kind compliment. :)
