Uh, right. So, I was going to put something all eloquent about my process here, but honestly, I accidentally wrote a Molly Hooper novel and I'm REALLY tired, so <3 Fic is posted exclusively at Ao3, because it's 56,000 words long and I just couldn't bear to make six LJ posts.

All my love and thanks to Marie, who drew the EXTRAORDINARY art that ( Read more... )
