As so often happens, I kinda fell in love with that pairing as I wrote it. I'm sure there are a handful of popslash pairings I have not yet written (though most of them probably involve Brian) so there may be new joy to come. And it is fun to be able to provide a slightly different take on Joey—normally he is laid back and happy, and to put him under a bit of stress makes a nice change.

There's a lovely little poem somewhere about a cat which, having eaten cheese, is waiting with baited breath. So clever!
