You know, based on this, I'm going to try again. But I have a confession to make; I started this fic, and it defeated me. I could tell that it was special, that I should be reading it because there was so much there, and yet I've also never read anything that made me feel quite so much as if there was a punch line that everyone else knew, while I'd been unable to decipher the joke in the first place. Nor had I ever felt the gap in my education quite so keenly as when I was reading it. Someone once commented that my writing was flawed with 'crass Americanisms'; this fic made me feel that while we may, in theory, have a common language, we actually don't speak the same language at all. But I will persevere, Brammers, because I cannot imagine you reccing something so whole-heartedly that did not deserve to be read thoroughly.
