I just spent most of today (...technically yesterday now) reading Hawks and Hands for the first time (!). I am aware that linking directly to it probably makes me evil; I'm also aware that the front page explicitly tells me that management is not responsible for lost sleep or productivity, but damn it, Dira, I just lost a whole day of writing my AU to reading yours with my hands clutched at my face.

On the other hand, it is making me feel much less guilty and weird about the F/K/V maybe coming out to something alarmingly like 90K. Perspective is such a wonderful thing.

Hawks and Hands is awesome. How have you not read it before today?? ... now you're making me want to reread it. Dang you, Aria.

I think it was a combination of [a] everyone and their dog (or literary wolf) had read it already, and although I try not to be a snob and not do What Everyone Else Does, because dS fandom generally has quite good taste, I still have this ingrained childhood habit of being totally snobbish, and [b] longfic is looooong, oh my dear lord. But then I met Dira at WisCon, and since she was awesome and I'd liked her shorter stuff, I decided [a] was clearly ridiculous; then I just had to wait until such time as I had an entire free day, because I also have this horrible habit of reading fic all in a go no matter how long it is.

OH GOD DON'T REREAD IT UNLESS YOU HAVE THE TIME! But if you do, by all means absolutely reread it. :D
