And oh, I love that device - looking at known characters through another person's eyes - to pieces. Always did; I should use it more often in fic, really.
Love worldbuilding, too, though I wouldn't really count this fic as doing that. But worldbuilding fiction is my favourite genre of fiction - original worldbuilding, that is, not carbon copies of Middle-earth as you so often find in modern fantasy. I just got "Always Coming Home" by Ursula Le Guin, and that looks like a marvellous piece of worldbuilding; so looking forward to reading that!
RE: taking things to their logical conclusion. Heh. Yes. You know, one of the funniest comments I ever got on the earlier version of this fic on fanfiction.net was something like "Where's the next part????" - So much for logical conclusions. ;-)
Ah yes, thank you.
