And isn't that just the worst conversation to have to have with a new boyfriend. Poor Tim, I'm afraid the endorphins are going to drain out and he's going worry about everything and everyone. I suspect this one is going to be remembered as "that one contagious thing that made the Bats act like human beings for a week -- can we get another one?" I think everyone is having fun, though. Maybe Tim will remember how happy everyone was a keep the attitude change? It really seemed to be the thing that made the most difference.

Tim and Dick did this backward. You're supposed to ask about past sexual partners before you do it without a condom.

You seem to be optimistically assuming they don't all die of horrible alien plague in the next chapter. :) You should never assume I'm not just going to kill everyone, though glymr mostly reigns me in.

It might be worth mentioning now that I'm actually kind of an epidemiology geek. Tim has a special place in my heart for surviving an Ebola outbreak!

[marici]

Well, you totally could. It would be perfectly fair and makes sense by the rules of _this_ world. The DCU, though, they've had a ton of plagues come through, and they've always cured up until now, usually before more than a handful of people die. You'd actually have to write a justification for why none of the usual technobabble produced a cure this time, though again, you totally could.

I'm eager to hear more about the epidemiology now! Loosening Tim up like that makes me think it's either Earth-derived or a very closely related alien species: precision deactivation of bits of the personality to promote the spread is something rabies and toxoplasmosis both do, but it's unlikely to occur randomly in a species with a billion years of unrelated evolution to us. Of course, DCU: it might be something harder to predict from our science, like a telepathic or sentient disease that actually deliberately caused those changes.

You are very perceptive and I think we should be friends. *grin* Toxo is, perhaps, not a bad model...

Yay!

[iesika]

Yay!

ugh, I'm so behind on like EVERYTHING. So forgive me if this comment isn't terribly specific, since I actually read this a few days ago and just couldn't comment at the time

[iesika]

Oooh, this comment made me happy.

I hadn't picked up on that in my prior readings, but a quick re-read saw me finding threads of slightly altered behavior.

So happy, heh. Yay, we did it right! I wanted it to start out subtle and kind of snowball until we got to the screeching halt.

I am having great fun writing Tim in the lab. Glymr keeps having to stop me and say things like "you should probably explain what whole-genome sequencing is if Tim's doing so much of it."

By which I mean we wrote this whole fic so that I could write about someone with Bat resources doing outbreak virology. :) Or at least, that was my goal. Probably not glymr's.

[larsinger29]

Hehehe, well, I'd say you're balancing out your goal with the porn very, very well! And sometimes it can be really fun (and also very informative) to mix in something you have an interest in into a story. Especially when it fits so nicely with Tim's personality/skills. :o)

[iesika]

Right before you left this comment, glymr told me "My goal was porn."

So that worked out well, heh.
