I knew the last one wasn't real, I had suspected that you'd do an april fools chapter (I just thought it was going to be tqftl), I'm also certain that this is another April fools joke.

Kratos: Oh, wow. I laughed way too much at that. My sense of humour, it is refined.



Fixed it, in any case. I can't believe I (and everyone else) didn't notice that before.

I finally got around to marathoning through Morphic and the extras in their entirety at stupid-o-clock this morning, so now I can enjoy all this additional stuff.



I'm a bit too busy to go into extravagant detail about how much I enjoyed it all right now, but… I enjoyed it! :D This new first chapter (amusing as Espeon's version was… pffft Mia) was also quite the interesting read. Figured I should point this out, though:



"Goddamn it. He was fucking scientist. He could do this sensibly."



Much as I'm sure Dave would like to be fucking scientist, especially if Scientist('s wife) could be Cheryl, I do believe you're missing an article there.

"Pregnant pause" is itself a known phrase.



Fixed the typo; thanks. :D

"There was a pregnant pause."

You probably mean this in the phrase "pregnant with meaning," and it is valid, but still strange.

"figmenet of Lucy’s imagination"

A misspelling: It should be spelled "figment."

Otherwise, an enjoyable chapter of a great, realistic fanfic. Although it seems ridiculous now, it is sure to become more coherent later. The fact that Bubbles was so…enthusiastically devout is a clever foreshading to the reveal that it belonged to Isaac Daniels.

…another joke?



Because I don't think you would inject that much deconstruction into your real sequel. I may be wrong, though.

Of course not. It was perfectly grammatically coherent, just ridiculous. And delightfully out of character because Espeon has never read Morphic.

…Thought so. That last one didn't make any sense.



…I'm remembering the tQFtL April Fool's thing last year. Was that really so far back?
