but from what I do know, everyone comes off in character

Thank you! That was my biggest fear in taking on the book!verse. Because book!Harry isn't tv!Harry and book!Murphy isn't tv!Murphy and there were a lot of people jammed in there that I'd never written for before. I'm glad you think they sounded right.

Kat really helped getting the pace going properly. She had me divide up paragraphs to avoid long, chunky text sections and helped me figure out what details were unnecessary. Betas are useful people.

Thanks for the lovely comment!
