Is anyone here watching The Americans? jae has written a wonderfully deep backstory for Elizabeth that does her character and the show justice.

Five Points Down by jaegecko
Gen; Elizabeth Jennings; backstory/character study; rated Mature; choose not to warn; 23904 words
Summary: Elizabeth Jennings, both in the early years of that name and before it.

(If you've never watched The Americans but have a general appreciation of fierce, complex Russian spy ladies *koffNatashaRomanoff*, I think you might really find this story intriguing even if you don't know the canon.)

Oh, man, this made my whole week, and it's only Monday. :) Thank you!

You're very welcome. ^^

Also and completely unrelatedly, I'm not sure how I ended up removing access to my journal to you, but I swear I didn't do it on purpose. Just noticed it this morning and rectified it. Sorry for the confusion. (This would explain why I haven't heard from you recently, I suppose... ;)

No problem.
I haven't really been online as much as usual for the last several weeks. I had (hopefully past tense :/) an, um, medical issue that apparently got aggravated when I was sitting in front of the computer for longer periods. I'm still careful to avoid that, for now.

Well, in a way it may have an advantage to read my flist this late, because now I can say: yes, I've seen the show, and yes, I've read the fic.

I've been discussing the show in detail with jae for the past two weeks. What an awesome tiny fandom!

Yay, glad I could hook you two up.
