Oh, oh, Daph this is so good. Gorgeous ironic wit in the framing phrases, hilarious story - and charactierisation that is perfect. Beautifully done. And so sneakily clever amid the funny, too.
Loved: “How come I get the smelly, violent end?” he asks Helo.
“Look at it this way,” Helo suggests, “I’m much more likely to get puked on.” and the Arrow silliness.
*hugs back* Yay! Thanks so much! I was a bit worried about it (would have asked you for a beta except I finished it the morning I was supposed to post it...), esp. the Exterior... bits, so I'm glad those worked. For some reason I became kind of fascinated by the whole space thing, because on TV it mostly looks like black sky and I at least tend to forget that it's actually the stuff that kills you instantly if you go out in it without a ship around you. And then when I do think about that, it makes everything else seem so much more precarious...
This? Is one of the best fics I've read, ever. I can't tell you how much I *adore* this. The characterizations were perfect and I laughed out loud waaaaay too much for being at work. ;)
