I'd seen The Third Third mentioned somewhere else, but I hadn't read it, yet--if you say to do so, though, I will. And I'd never ever heard of Dissonance, and considering my passion for high school AUs and my obsessive fic-searching personality, this is really saying something.

No, seriously, Nora--I feel that you have exactly the same sort of taste that I do. I can hack a little over-cheesiness if it's done well, and can hack the angst with some requirements, but I'm always hesitant to follow up on recs for either, because it can go very wrong indeed. But whenever you say something is good? It really is. So thanks.
