I'm actually having a hard time coming up with the words to express how I felt about this fic. The only word I can think to use is "stunning." Stunningly dark. Stunningly beautiful. Stunningly written. I think all your fics are brilliant, but I honestly think you've outdone yourself with this one.

Oh, and I haven't read the comics, but I agree that they're definitely rife with plot bunnies. I really want to get into the comics just so I can see 12yo Giles.
