I got sucked in by the summary and read the first two chapters, and this fic looks really interesting! Unfortunately I have to dash but you can bet I'll be coming back to find out what happens. :) Thanks for the rec!

(I boggled a little at the number of comments. Kind of makes me wish I'd been around during the days this fandom was so active--imagine having so many people to talk TW with! But then again, I probably would have been blindsided by "CoE" like so many were and left a broken person, so maybe it's just as well.)
