Thank you! Antonin is a bit of a jerk, but I am predisposed to like him because he is played by C'rizz. (I realize I am like one of five people who liked C'rizz, so it goes.) And Reborn!Romana is totally rad. I'm not entirely sure how feelings ensued, they just kind of happened.

Benton and Yates were going to be two random soldier dudes, but then I realized that they might as well be characters I like :)

I know you didn't have a ton of comments on this or anything, but you helped tremendously! Your quick beta saved me from obsessively rewriting it and ruining all the jokes, for one thing.
