I think my heart stopped in this bit. Seriously, so many lovely lines that I can't pick out just the one to point at and go "look look look" and many other incoherent things. I think it's a testament to your skill as a writer that I understand, well mostly, what is going on despite the fact I don't watch Alias, I did for a while and then I went travelling and suddenly it was all confuzzling.
So my beloved H/D may be going away, but I do love Blaise to pieces, so I'm hoping that there may be some action thataway at some point.
But yes, I shall stop waffling now and go and write the essay I should be paying attention to, rather than HP fic.
