halotolerant into the DAAS fandom, yay! And she's written a wonderful ficlet, The World's Coolest Walking Stick (Paul/Tim, rated teen, set after Tim's July 2010 appearance on Good News Week). One of the things I love about this story is the way it deals with Tim's disability--showing it as a factor in Tim's life that's always there but also isn't the only thing about him, rather than (as is all too common in stories about disabled characters) using it as a pretext for angst or ignoring it if the author finds it inconvenient. The story is also a powerful look at missed opportunities and second chances.
