I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading (and rereading) this whole thing; you have some amazing talent with words, my friend. I can't wait to see anything else that comes from you, whether Switch related or not (though I am looking forward to that post-lude story...and I'd be very interested to hear you write something from Jim's point of view).
Thanks again for writing this, and PLEASE keep us informed as to what you do write next. <3 also, you get a SW icon because I really don't have enough ST icons... :P
