Mags! This was so so so lovely. I just recently re-read Sylvester when my Mum was here, and the whole tone and dynamic of their relationship is really captured here. It's hard, I think, to stand up to someone like Georgette Heyer's quality, but you've done that perfectly. I felt like I was reading the epilogue to their actual book, and considering how much I adore Georgette Heyer (and Sylvester and Phoebe, particularly), that's a massive compliment.

Good job, lady. May your lust respect and adoration for Richard Armitage continue to motivate you to such great works.

Can I say how much ILU for being one of the very few people who bothered to read this?

I think we've talked about Heyer before - I can't get into her stuff in general, but I really liked the story and characters in Sylvester (several of the supporting characters in particular, and the leads of course) and Richard Armitage's reading made it particularly enjoyable.
