i actually do not know why i didn't read this when you posted it - i have literally no idea, as clearly it is something i would like and like very much.

listened to the podfic today, and loved it. v impressed by all the layers of negotiation, and the implications of a larger plot (not just universally, but alison's relationship with the doctor and the master) around this story. it feels like something from a fully fleshed out universe, which is very impressive - plus there are some really funny, great bits of snarky banter and i think it's really interesting to see this relationship through alison's eyes.

all in all, this is a great fic, i'm glad i - had it read to me :)
