Oh, oh, oh, the Susan one! I left kudos, but I'm not yet registered (how long do the codes work?) so you wouldn't know. It was lovely, and so very Susan.

Julia, thank you from a nonparticipant in most things this year.

Clearly, I write freaking awesome prompts, because most (and by most, I mean all but one very early exchange I participated in) of the stories I receive are exactly perfect and what I'd hoped for. But I think The Importance of Being Mostly Human stands in a class of its own.

I'm not familiar with the Discworld fandom so I skipped that story and just read the Sabrina one. I loved that Linus shows his love for someone by doing things behind the scenes to make their lives easier rather than being able to vocalize his emotions. I didn't know who the woman was that he called to take Sabrina out to treat her to a dress and a beauty salon visit so that she could got to the dance so I felt a bit lost there.

I was glad that David became a kind of big brother to Sabrina and kept her up to date on what was going on with the servants she had grown up with in the Larabee household rather than keeping up his flirtatious ways and making his new wife feel inadequate. Sabrina needs a woman her age who is familiar with the lifestyle that she is now going to have to become comfortable with and Elizabeth can be a good friend. Linus can't destroy everyone who is mean to Sabrina ... though I'm sure he'd do a good job of it. :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Michelle Harrington is kind of an OFC, kind of an unseen, unnamed canon character. Late in the movie, Fairchild tells Sabrina that it never works out when someone in the servant class marries someone in the family. He mentions the "Harringtons' chauffeur" who drove the family to the church then had to change quickly to walk his daughter down the aisle so she could marry the Harrington son.

As for Discworld, if you like fantasy, give it a shot. You don't need to start in any particular order with it, though there are some story arcs that follow certain characters over a period of time.

Thank you for the clarification. Now that you reminded me of the plot point, I remember the lines where someone expects Sabrina to know the name of the chauffer's daughter who married the family son ... all the servants obviously know each other.

Discworld ... I don't know if I have the focus to get into a new fandom at this point, especially something with such a rich new world and so many characters. I saw a couple of the movies that had been made and though I enjoyed them, I felt I was missing out on a lot of back story.
