YOU WRITE FOR ALL OF MY FANDOMS. It makes me happy every time.

Okay. I really like the way you showed the Doctor (licking Ned's hand, particularly, and knowing that he needs to fix a crack in the wall and not knowing how long it's really been [or going to be] -- in my head, in this world, Ned got his power when the crack was in HIS wall and the universe poured into HIS head. Mad, impossible Ned the Piemaker.)

I love that Chuck's main daemon is a bee. Because it would be.

And yes.

OMG. Haven't read yet, but.

I see Pushing Daisies and Doctor Who and HDM, and I go, whoa who is even capable of such brilliance, and then I see it's you. Of course. And so the world makes sense again.

I can't get over the fact that having a daemon whom he cannot touch just highlights and reinforces everything about Ned's personality.

"That is an incredibly unflattering portrayal of me," Ned says, not horribly insulted.
So much love for Ned.

So, like I said, this is sheer brilliance.

This. Is. So. Great. It's amazing! I love Pushing Daisies so much, and it's wonderfully whimsical the same way Doctor Who and you combine them so beautifully.

This bit was my favorite:
"Mercutio? You're naming him after Romeo's daemon?"

I'm a sucker for little details like that, and now I've gone off on this whole train of thought about what Shakespeare would have looked like in the HDM 'verse...
DOES THIS MEAN HORATIO IS HAMLET'S DAEMON?

Thanks so much for sharing.
