I loved this SO MUCH! I love it when Pestilence shows up for a bit of insight. :P And the focus on the less popular characters was very lovely. The character development you had here was very well done. I expect Wensleydale would grow up to be that sort of overachiever. Well done, secret author!

P.S. Yay for teenage drama almost causing the apocalypse. ;)

Oh, what a fantastic story this is! Brian consulting with Wensleydale's Other Number for gift advice is just an inspired idea, and all the interactions between the characters are so right-on and delightful.

That's a damn nice present. Oh yes, yes it is. Can't think of anything better! So big holiday warm fuzzies with this one!

SO much love for this, Secret Author! I'm not usually a big fan of the Them or Horsepeople, but this was really quite nice!

LoveloveLOVE the Ebola reference. Hee.

This was just /too/ perfect. I can't comment on all the little details I liked, because they are just too many. The irony of the whole situation really got me. I loved Pestilence's showing up and all the cynical little delights that make a horseperson's life. Also, your characterisations were lovely. The ending finally was very cute, without breaking the general tone.

My favourite sentence was, "Hence the reason why he was currently in the process of thoroughly debasing himself - and perhaps more worryingly risking the wrath of Pepper - by frequenting a fast food joint owned by a multinational conglomerate, which had last year appeared at number three on the Planet’s Most Unethical list." Sums it all up and works out of context as well. Simply *lol*!

*Grins* Fantastic. Lovely bit of work. Good job, that...person. Eh, I'm hopeless at telling on the 'net. Female, though, I'm presuming.

I love this. The characterizations, the tone, the language, the teenage angst-induced second near-Apocalypse...and there were so many lines that made me laugh out loud. Absolutely wonderful.
