Well, cheers! I'm honoured that you read this, when you don't read a lot of fic... I saw that you had commented and thought, "Whoa!" - but I had to go collect my deposit back from the con artists who wanted to bilk me on the car.
So I'm just getting to this, which I have to say, I've been burning with curiosity for your opinion!
And I'm quite pleased that it worked for you. This is a prequel to "Trost und Freude" (which you should also read!) and the idea for the 1989/90 timeline occurred while writing that, since I had to figure out John's reaction to the whole shtriga thing.
And I wanted to use Bev's perspective precisely because I wanted to be able to have her look back at her interactions with John and put the pieces together, but also because I wanted to explore the aftermath of the shtriga without being able to get directly into either John's or Dean's heads.
So thanks...and feel free to work your way through the rest of the fanfic (it's really just dramatised meta, anyway!).
