Eee! I just left a comment (long and wordy, my usual style) over at AO3 because I didn't know you'd posted here as well! Trials in the desert seriously pings all my watch-in-horrified-fascination-because-I-know-I-could-never-do-that buttons. Just glancing through this first page on the way to the comment box I am shivery with delight. How did you *know*? *grins*

This will have to wait for when I get home tonight to read and fully appreciate it--but I am so looking forward to it--thank you!
