Ooh, I love this. I love how Adele is still a stone cold bitch and that she finds it difficult to deal with weakness. This is all very intriguing (especially the events that have led up to this point, and how it is going to turn out), and I hope you write more about the Dollhouse.

And I laughed so hard at the irony of her finding herself in Mr Dominic's body. The dialogue was perfect.

Thank you very much, I do love the fact that Adelle gives the impression she's always prepared to deal with consequences and just move on. I thought bodyswapping her would be the most fun, so I went all the way. I'm really pleased that it worked for you.

I did think that would be a fantastic irony, thank you :)

Why am I a cheater? Why?

You haven't truly made it until you need to be eliminated with extreme prejudice Y/N?

Topher is awesome, he needs to get to do more awesome things. Possibly in some sort of post-apocalyptic environment, geniuses aren't happy unless they can save the world under pressure!

Thank you! ♥

I cheat at stuff because I can get away with it, mwahahahaha.

AHHH, then yes, I am a dirty cheater :D I was actually trying to use the prompts in universes where they'd fit without feeling out of place. It's been kind of fun.

Who wants to be moderately dangerous! It's like being the spoon of the cutlery world, no one wants to be the spoon!

Topher as MacGyver is the my new favouritist 'show that will never exist.' I mourn for it.

I am! I am cute and harmless and I get away with things, see me getting away with things :D

I'm not a fan of genderswap fic and yet this time it not only made sense but it retained the things we love about Adelle. She wasn't Dominic, she was Adelle in a body not her own. I love how she retained her cool, no matter how unsettling the experience became.

Brilliant.

Thank you very much, I'm really glad the idea worked for you. Adelle really is fabulous in the way she doesn't buckle under pressure, I had to use her for the prompt.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you so much, I'm really pleased you liked it. I really enjoyed writing Adelle's voice so I'm glad she worked for you.

I agree, Topher is just awesome ♥

Oh, extremely interesting concept. You have her struggle to maintain control despite the panicked strangeness of the whole situation down perfectly. Very nicely done. :)

Thank you very much, I'm really pleased it worked for you, Adelle's need to be in control is so sharp, I definitely wanted to explore it.

Thank you for reading.
