I am so glad I glanced over my f-list while I was getting ready for work and packing to leave our housesitting gig!! EEEEEEEEE, ASHIE. LOVE IT. And no, you did not butcher him! (LIKE YOU WOULD, PSSH.)

Also, AUGH. You've got his reaction down, lady. Fucking Milliways indeed. I really love the line about how he'd use his military authority to give her some sense of 'normal' even though Milliways is anything fucking but.

MORE FLAIL LATER.

(HE'S WONDERFUL AND I WORRY!)

And I? Am so, so damn gld you like it - I was worried, given it's, um, Carl, and also I wasn't sure where it was going, or how the dynamic would shift with this Trudy.

:o YAY MORE FLAIL.

Oh, Ashie.

Fantastic, you.

This broke my heart:

... although she is scrubbed, her uniform is not. Makes sense - not point in advertising she's been somewhere with running water and soap.

Ever practical, ever the consummate soldier girl, even with the what-the-fuckery of the end of the universe to combat. Augh. ♥

(Also. Carl. Auuuugh.)

Craziness aside, Trudy defaults to being practical, I think.

(yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, poor man)

So glad you liked!

OMG love this so much. Love Carl's method of dealing with the Trudy that isn't his Trudy, and oh man, it's not funny but those last couple lines made me laugh out loud in that "oh shiiiiiit" kind of way.

:D! Thaaaaaaank you!

And heee, I get what you mean. It's a, um, black kind of humour!
