Thinking about broccoli

Neil Gaiman is ruining my life.

Quick fic rec
Well ... kind of. The fic itself is kind of long. But if you've finished His Dark Materials and you know how Phillip Pullman feels about certain authors, you'll probably like this. Even if I weren't exhausted, it'd probably have almost made me cry. -
