One of these days I'll remember not to read your fic until I'm home from work. What an emotional rollercoaster, and given that little edge by the alcohol involved but not so much it feels disaffected. Nicely done. So nicely done. More please :D

Well, thank you! I could put a warning label on them for you... ;)

When I started writing this, I knew Sophie was really upset, but I didn't realise quite how upset Eliot was with Nate, but then of course that boy represses a lot. He definitely took me by surprise a couple of times. Which was fun. No matter how savvy Nate is about the job, when it comes to his family, he can be kind of clueless!

I anticipate much argument and exasperation as they learn to run the crew together. We'll see what that brings up, I guess!

I <3 this:

Especially since this was not the first time he’d witnessed how Stupid could become a spiraling contagion amongst a crew.

That's so...Eliot.

Thank you! I love writing Eliot pov. He has such a fun take on the world. :)
