The opera fic was, however, written to fill my request!
Nice!
Thanks so much for the rec; it's always nice to find fellow enthusiasts.
You're welcome. Peter Grimes stands a good chance of being my favorite modern opera; Britten is certainly one of my favorite composers. I loved that someone had not only thought to involve him in The Charioteer, but had done so in thematically concrete ways, not just an evocative title or an epigraph. (Although the title is what got me to open the story: it's the right allusion.) And I liked very much the cameos by Quentin Crisp and Turing-by-implication in Ralph's work at Bletchley, even if no one in the story draws the connections: different ways of being other. It was just lovely to run across.
