This fic was worth it just for the bit at the end:

Peeking into the living room, Xanatos was greeted by two sights he never thought he'd live to see.

Owen Burnett, hammered, and Owen Burnett, singing.

Totally worth it. :D

Great story and ending ... well thought out and organised. Your style is smooth, sophisticated and engaging. I look forward to more. One glitch: it would be helpful if you inserted some sort of symbol or such when the story changes settings; it was a little difficult to keep track of where I was.
