I love love love when people write original Elements, so yes.

Then I'm especially glad you liked mine! I keep thinking about some of the other transuranics, but I'm not sure they're actually stories as opposed to noodle incidents.

which is particularly interesting I think for being a far more positive idea of them than often seems to come up

Hey, it's another Curium!

(also pretty negative)

Definitely more negative than my take. I don't see the transuranics as adversaries or traitors. Just if they were human you'd want them to see a good therapist and Plutonium really took an anti-shine to Steel.

and my Plutonium

I like yours:

"He was – in appearance at least – a tall man; thin, with a beak of a nose, and dark hair that was untidily arranged as his clothes – cords and a jacket that was done up with the wrong button at the front."

And I like your handling of instability much better than the previous take.

purplecat once wrote Livermorium, but that was a little cracky

Legit, but cute.

but the Elements themselves are so very much what they are and that is so unique, it's hard to imagine any way to rework them without a big change to that.

It's a compliment if the story reads like a standalone, but I don't know that it would work if one of its protagonists were not in a constant state of radioactive decay.

ETA: Would you mind if I linked anyone to this fic?

Not at all! I'd be honored. ashnistrike and rushthatspeaks have been persuading me that I should get an AO3 account for my fic anyway, all six pieces of it.
