Oh how I love this post. Especially #2, I think, although it's hard to choose. Mostly I was just nodding along.

Anyway, I only came tiptoeing over here (I'm really on hiatus, trying - and actually succeeding - to get some writing done) so I could rec you a fic:

Team Building - Reverse The Polarity Remix by iamshadow, a story of how Jack assembled his team. It is just *beautifully* done, and the characterisations are utterly perfect. Especially Suzie, who is of course the trickiest one. Enjoy! :)
