History Boys fic: DVD-style commentary
Because hype45 asked for it, and I was more than happy to oblige. :) My rambling in italics.
Barring Accidents
( History, in its making, runs quietly on as it has always done - the hands of the clock move, things change, they stay the same - but, Dakin has discovered, it is possible to put your foot out and trip History up a little, not enough to make him fall, or to turn round and go the other way, but enough to make him stumble and then carry on. )

Also, I like mentioning Fiona. She keeps things from getting too gay.
Agreed! As much as I love the gay, it would have been a little WTF had Dakin just suddenly turned queer. I rather like the way you work within canon.
In re-reading, I often find this paragraph too sentimental. I sometimes wonder if Dakin is really too self-involved to be terribly broken up about Hector.
I actually didn't read that, or bits like it, as Dakin being broken up about it. I read it as everyone else was broken up about it, and Dakin was just all bored and apathetic and "why can't anyone move on?", and just wanted to punch the (what he would find) pathetic show of emotion away ( ... )

Also, I found an Alan Rickman video that just might be the hottest thing I've ever seen. Thought you might enjoy. ;)
