This one time, I hit the kudos button on some fic I'd just read, and it said that I and two clones had all left kudos.

I have no words for this fic, so I would like to leave 8,243 kudos.

That is to say...this kind of fic is why fanfic is necessary to my existence (well, one of the reasons) because the medium of television simply cannot get into these layers that you have gotten into here.
