Go. Read. This is an adorably cute story that works really well, and has so many clever references to canon that I probably missed some. (I want to re-read this and see how many little nods there are because I'm sure there's a couple here and there that I didn't spot because I was too busy going "Ooh, Steve Carlsberg!" and "Dana!" and "Street cleaners!")
I really loved this.
