Thank you! I'm actually really happy with this snippet and was kind of sad that nobody had reacted. If you know the whos and the whats that we have in canon, then this would be a huge bomb going off in the heart of Amélie's story. This would be an even though I have contradicted nothing, everything you think you know is wrong moment.

I am not actually a good fiction writer, though. I'm a good (and when I work in the field, well-paid) technical writer, and in fiction I can engineer a situation, I can figure out how to make something work and make sense, I can make life much more difficult for characters, but... there's a whole-package thing I just don't have.

But, once in a while, I like to think I can fake it well enough to throw some pretty good parts out there. This is one of those times. I'm glad it worked for someone other than me, too.
