Thank you for recommending this; Honor H is consistently amazing.

Absolutely! I could have recced three of hers, but I confined myself to one story per author. It was this or Seed Pearls, and excellent though the latter is I think this one deserved it more for the insights into Nine, season one as a whole and all the other characters.

Thank you so much! When I discovered three new reviews for this story, I hoped it was because someone recced it, but this leaves me a little stunned and speechless. I am, no pun intended, honored.

You're very welcome indeed! When I sat down to try to come up with my top seven fics, I decided that my criteria weren't just that the story would be enjoyable, well-written and in-character. I wanted more: stories that offered fresh insights into the characters, a plot or storytelling to make readers think, and overall that left a lasting impression on readers. Obviously I had more stories than rec slots, but in narrowing down there was never any question that this one was staying on the list :) I'm glad you got some new reviews out of it!
