Honestly, I didn't know you had this in you (intent-wise, not skill-wise, duh)! And you accomplished a great deal of feeling and tone while being fairly sparse; it's horrifying without going for all that cheap gore.

This story made me really ridiculously happy, is what I'm saying. **runs far away**

This fic actually feels, to me, very much of a peace with the cheese man fic. That one is also S4, ensemble, with creeping weirdness and maybe even horror, depending on how one reads the surreality and the ending.
Anyway, I'm preening here, just so you know. Your comment made me really ridiculously happy, so I think we're even. *g*

If it's any comfort, it's highly unlikely I'll write anything else like this for quite a while.

(Speaking of your fics, were you aware that on AO3 you've only got 4/5 chapters of the Killer Snow Goons fic? I was going to download a copy to bring on vacation with me - A03's download feature is wonderful - but I ended up doing my usual c/p thing instead, and nabbing the last chapter from you LJ.)
