Bookmarker's Notes
Did a 2026 reread on this one, and it's still a masterpiece of the fandom. The character voices are pitch-perfect—this is the Steveist Steve I've seen—the cosmic horror is excellent, and nobody gets pushed to the periphery; all the characters have their moments. I admire and am wounded by somebody who writes one incredible first fic and then steps away from the fandom—I would have loved to see how they handled Robin too. A+ and well worth the reread.

8+ year hiatus was worth the wait. Ride or die on this one.

Summary
Given the choice, Reid wouldn’t have agreed only one of his triggers was worth fixing and he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to fix it like this, but no one is exactly asking him.
