I've got it under control!

That's a pretty accurate summary, actually. It's weird because whenever I'm thinking about original fic it's always in terms of what happens. Fanfic tends to be an excuse to use the line that the character's saying in my head, or one particular mental image rather than it is about plot, because the plot's already there, in the canon.

Thank you for the perspectives, that actually helps.

And I don't hate you, idiot.
