Note: Recently, I fell in love with moirariordan's writing style.  She has such a lovely voice, both in terms of dialogue and internal monologue, but also in terms of overall style.

(If you want to see what I'm talking about, read steady as she goes part one just for funsies, and then read part two for the voice. Pay special attention in part two to Eliot's thoughts in the hot tub.)
