::beams:: Thanks so much for the rec! That was one of the hardest stories I ever had to write to that date (it was for a Mickey ficathon, and the prompts were v. British) and I'm absurdly pleased that you remember it and like it that much.

I have to again pass along thanks to redscharlach though, on top of everything, for she was the one who made it British enough, like giving me the word "strip" for that summary, and also, she gave it the brilliant title. :D
