I definitely stayed up all night reading it the first time through, with the result that even though it was at most four months ago my memory of it is sleep-deprivation-fuzzy. That's ok; it means it's almost equally suspenseful and surprising on the second go round, just heavily tinged with deja vu. I adored it the first time and am enjoying it just as much now.

I reread Reach before starting, just 'cause I felt like it, and I agree that this is in a different league. Maybe a different division. And an entirely different sport from most of the fic I've read, in this or any fandom.

Oh, and hi, everyone. I'm S Z. I'm new.
