Well, technically, it isn't. Started working on the rough draft of my first non-fanfic story featuring Mercy and Doyle Falcone. It's a cruddy rough draft, but it's a start. I just need to figure out a plot to work it around. Right now it's an extended character sketch in which the two of them meet for the first time in the three years since Mercy died, plus we get a few tidbits on the Public Security Sector of "the Department of Hades".

And so far, no mention of Mercy's boyfriend in the Summons Sector, though I do have a non-fanfic name for him and that's "Shigeru Kurosaki"; I'm hoping someone gets the tongue-in-cheek reference. Yes, I'll be doing better about filing the serial numbers off when this goes to a second draft.
