I'm back. Sorry for the very delayed response, work has been A Thing.
Now let's nerd out.
I could not tell that sex scenes are not your usual wheelhouse, you wrote it with confidence and panache.
As for David's timeline, I've searched my notes and can't work out now what's canon and what's my plucked from mid air dates, but I am partway through a reread and will let you know if I find anything. For some reason I have the 1950s in my head as when he died but I may be wrong on that one. I did have a bit of a struggle trying to work out where you'd put the construction of the wards, basically because the arithmetic was a bit beyond what my brain can handle without a pen and paper. Trying to work out when the story is set, then how long Nightingale has been maintaining the wards, and therefore how long they've been there... and honestly, I came up with a different year every time I tried it and eventually gave up and just enjoyed the story.
