RMSE exchange was a whole lot of fun - so many good fics (there's a few recs in previous posts here and here) and I was extremely lucky to receive two amazing stories, both of them for rare, rare canons - an absolutely windfall, one for The History Boys and one for Equilibrium,

I had the pleasure of writing two stories, both of which were extremely different, but both of which were fun to write. The American Psycho fic was a treat that took over my brain and I can safely say this is the only fic where my historical ~~1989~~ research is accurate. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood fic is lower key and more romantic, also a change for me.
