Oh man, that ending. I love how all of a sudden, the tumblers click into place in Alex's brain. And what could be better than creepy nuns?

Looking forward to more!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're still into it. :)

Happy to see you back with another installment. I also like how you're continuing to use the names of actors from The Wizard of Oz. I kept picturing the Wicked Witch (sans green makeup) in a nun's habit!

I was waiting for someone to notice that! You win the, uh. Ceremonial cookie?

Thank you! I'll treasure it for as long as I remember I have it. :)

No LJ account, but commenting anyway! This storyline is one of the freshest ideas I've read in this fandom in ages, I hope you realize that! You sound so professional, even with evil nuns involved :) And you have Alex's voice down pat, something that seems to be pretty hard to do; a lot of the time she seems to get portrayed as a slightly hysterical/tarty woman, but not here. Congrats and thanks! I can't wait to read the next parts, hopefully there's not as long a wait between them (unless of course you need that to produce best results, in which case, dally as required!).

Thanks so much for the comment, LJ or not! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I'm hoping I'll have the next part out faster; RL has been pesky, but hopefully it'll quit it. Fic writing is much more important! ;-)

I was so thrilled to see this updated, and glad to see the plot progressing happily apace (plot really is hard, innit? I'm hopeless at it myself, it seems). This really is a clever way to weave together LoM and A2A, and I actually really like your take on Alex, which is one hell of an accomplishment, believe me.

Hope to see more soon!

Btw, your disclaimer on behalf of London Met and the Police Orphans made me spew wine. Heh.

Thanks, I'm glad you'll feel it's moving along! Plot is evil; it would be nice, sometimes, to write a nice montage.

*g* I was about to post, and then I was like, "OMG, what if someone thinks I'm slagging off a children's charity?" *quickly amends*

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! (Especially Ray. *g*) Only now I am going to be picturing cat nuns, too. Darn it!

I had a Rubik's Cube that I used to play with during theater rehearsals, but I don't think I ever solved it. I'm not the person to ask, really! Though since watching A2A, I've had a weird desire to play with one again. Too bad mine vanished years ago...
