Author’s Notes: Hello from a newbie, my humble first offering to the Detty fandom. I've written for other shows of course, but it really took me a while to get going with Detty. I really like the direction Detty is going at the moment though, which kicked my muse into gear. I'm eager to get feedback on how accurately (or not) the characterisations are.

Feedback is luuuurve!
