Heh, yeah, it's the longest thing I've ever written (longer even than my dissertation, which was a very strange realization).

Oh I do like a modern version of the boys...

Excellent! I was worried that people would be hostile to the idea, so I'm pleased to hear you find it intriguing! Hope you enjoy it!

Have been known to modernise them myself in either this or the mylodon mode.

I'm certainly enjoying it so far! :D Modern AU is not easy, but this setting really works for the boys :)
