Thanks for the link. I've been meaning to read this since last night. (Really, the first thing I thought of was I can read mhal's post 5:55 fic. I loved the scene in the elevator. I thought it was brilliantly done. I came in at episode 12 or so, which means I behind in the, as you put it, sideways-verse. But oh, between the episode and your fic, I'm good.
