I'm so pleased you're liking this, I can't even tell you. I think this was one of the bits that I was looking forward to writing because I love scenes with lots of people bouncing off each other. And one of the pleasures of the AU is "casting" it. I was at this party on Sunday and someone was saying that they didn't see the point of AU's because what does it have to do with the original characters? But now that I've written one I can see the fun in it.

I wonder if this means I've gone further down the rabbit hole? And I wonder if that really matters all that much?
