That's a good point, and I think that's exactly what makes me keep hesitating--it's jarring, like you said, to see something so familiar and because of that, unremarkable, house very remarkable characters. A WVU reference would make me imagine Sherlock on the PRT and my brain would just blank a little :). Like I said, I think I will eventually give it a shot, because I can tell the writing is very good just from what I've skimmed, and I tend to try to let good writing convince me even if an AU is initially off for me. I'll probably end up skimming through some bits (the deer hunting at the beginning turned me off kind of quickly tbh) but the relationship stuff is what I'm there for in the end anyway, right? Thanks for your input~
