Also this is beautiful strong delicate writing. I can just see John with the sock in his hand.

You're right about the strong writing. It's a short piece that packs a lot of punch.

Another perfect story. I love fics that are funny but am also a sucker for fics that have a purpose, and this one is beautifully purposeful. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Beautifully purposeful is a lovely phrase and I think it's one of the reasons that I like this piece so much.

Thank you
