"Charles, please reassure me on one point. You do know how to count to three in base ten

Know that you are a difficult woman, even more difficult than generality.

^-^ King and I, my all time favorite Rogers and Hammerstiens musical. I love how you handled this, and them. Its just lovely.

I, too, love that musical (and have ever since I was a kid.) And I just couldn't resist using it as a frame.

Belatedly finding Numb3rs--and how lovely that you're writing in it.

This was gorgeous. The clutter of movement and conversation is so, so satisfying through the lens of Alan's (ultimately resigned) realization.

Wonderful!

Thank you! This was an experiment--writing from Alan's POV. But there's something wonderful about his voice (the combination of weariness and sudden flares of emotion that suggest he's still got fight in him) that was very fun to play with.

It was also a test of blocking, which sometimes drove me a bit nuts. But in the end, I'm still pleased with it, because as much as it was L/C, I really wanted to find a way to use that to tell Alan's story.
