Love this! Not only do I need more Tick and femslash in my life, I need more stories where being a hero is secondary to being a person. So get to work, dear;)

Yay! Tickperson! Squee!!! I love The Tick so much and I love all the characters, and I'm so sold on the idea that they embrace superheroedom because they're sort of terrible at interpersonal relations. :D

I love writing this universe, so thank you! thank you for the comment!

I love superheros enough that I can appreciate the slightly less than super aspects of the Tick heroes!
My brother is also a Tickperson (yeah) but he's a truck driver so he's gone a lot (boo). Which means if a box of Christmas decorations fall on your head, nobody shouts 'It's a Yule Tide!' When he's not home, I have to ask for a spoon in a normal voice, not a triumphant battle cry to rouse the forces of good to defeat evil. sigh.

We could all use more Tick in our lives. You're probably right about them chosing to fly in and save the day since they can't handle that day to day stuff of a relationship.

And I forgot to say, after reading you fic, I think DeMouse and Sewer Urchin are my new One True Pair! So angsty and unrequited, De only caring about his hair!

I think it's awesome there's someone (intermittently) in your house to whom you can yell SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

DeMouse and Sewer Urchin are awesome, and I think I started slashing them about two minutes into the first time I saw them onscreen together. I love this angsty and unrequited Sewer Urchin here, but I also think it'd be hilarious for them to get together and DeMouse be terrified someone will find out. But hey, if anyone can get him to take the mask off and come to bed, it's Sewer Urchin.

The only problem with writing Tick is....now wanting to write more Tick...

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you took the time to read it! :D
