*dances as well* Your comments make me bubbly and hyperactive!

Thank you, Vasily Livanov

Yes, he really does wonders for the imagination! And yes, despite the prudery of the times, Victorian men's clothes were very sexy.

I love your Stamper-voice beyond all reason

Thank you, although I'm not sure whether my ability to write Stamper is a good thing or whether I should really start to worry about myself XD

It is very cathartic though, especially the stuff during TPtK. All that anger that he keeps locked away is very fun to write.

Oh, Sarah, you horrid woman. I find that I have no sympathy for her whatsoever

No, I don't either. Mattie was an innocent in a way, she didn't understand the danger. Sarah is older and wiser but got involved anyway. Plus she clearly takes a lot of delight in being 'the favourite'.

Also, she really doesn't do that much, does she!? I'm so glad someone agrees with me on that.

I've never heard to term "lamping" before, and it's just delightful

It is a pretty good term actually. The best thing about writing for more modern fandoms is that I don't have to worry too much about the slang I use ;)

*pets him and most likely gets her hand bitten off*

Yes, he won't let me hug him either. He just struggles to get away and makes a kind of growling sound XD

and I'm not unconvinced that Stamper would go for it if Urquhart were willing.

Yes! It's not "I don't want to", it's "he doesn't want me to". That said though I don't think Urquhart ever really understands how deep Stamper's feeling went, even when he realises that he treated him badly.

he's much of a lesser evil than Urquhart

Yes, he is. I see Stamper as more of a schoolyard sadist, someone who takes great delight in people's petty misfortunes (i.e. Earle and Mackenzie etc) like a bully in the playground, but doesn't have the ruthlessness of Urquhart.

Yay for HoC fic!
