[Death was not something that Vince Noir had ever given all that much thought to...]Death was not something that Vince Noir had ever given all that much thought to. It seemed, to him, to be an abstract concept more than anything serious and inevitable. Despite all their mad adventures, he had always felt entirely safe and untouchable.

First of all: I recognized the title of this chapter right away, and I admit that I squealed, because... that song! (You know how much I love it and connect it to Howince ( ... )

I think you just destroyed me.

Brilliant plot device, just brilliant - I knew Naboo must have had something to do with it somehow. But poor Vince, watching Howard die like that, with no warning, and having to yell at Naboo to get him to do anything... No wonder Vince is so desperately in earnest. How on earth is he going to persuade any of these multiple Howards to come back with him?

Love the way you've still managed to put in funny bits, like Naboo selling his magic mirror on eBay, and worrying about finding tenants who will put up with a gorilla... they make the heartbreak all the sharper.

Please let there be a happy ending, please...

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I almost managed to keep it together while Howard was dying but when I got to Vince *screaming* at Naboo, I could hear it too clearly in my head. HOWAAAAARD. *tears all everywhere*

I have a stupid, stupid relationship with time, and this idea of it growing and shifting and Vince having to wait longer and longer is pushing all of my time-related buttons at once, but I adore the idea of that watch, and the way you've described it, it's just beautiful. So I'm having this kind of push-me, pull-you reaction where everything is both magical and awful, it's too much. *takes a deep breath*
