Ok...I kinda hate you now, because after reading this glorious piece, I went and tracked down the damn show...found it online and watched all three eps in quick succession (as the deplorable state of my house can attest to). And whambam I am entrenched in yet another fandom. Guh. This is poignant and quiet and, after watching the actual eps, I have a much better sense of their relationship and boyohboy is it just begging for fanfics, is it not? I don't hate you, of course...and I love your writing :)
