Well, I've been itching to catch up with this for ages and, boy, am I glad I finally did!

This is absolutely wonderful, Susan. Like many other FoLCs, SK isn't one of my favourite episodes. Although, like all episodes it manages to have it's moments. But I do love stories which revisit some of them more minor characters in the show, and this one does that beautifully. Philip, Mindy and the other smart kids are fleshed out marvellously, and their introspection is a treat to read. Your dialogue is a real treat, too, very natural.

This, in particular, had me laughing out loud:

Quote
‘Who cares?’ From Mindy’s point of view, rich criminals were the best men to marry - they tended to die or get thrown in jail.
Mindy always was a great character and you've nailed her perfectly here.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
