If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I didn't see any indication that he was a crappy dom or anything.

We don't know why he was banned from the club.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think, for the purposes of the aphorism, not recovering = being killed. Slowly, perhaps, but still.

So, "what doesn't make you worse off makes you better off"?

I'm enjoying reading the discussion here, although I'm not feeling the urge to jump in and contribute, except. . . Tim -- snow tires? In LA?

(I am also confused that Teppy confused Bale with Owen.)

Or "what doesn't kill you...doesn't kill you."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We don't know why he was banned from the club.

Exactly.

A real dom doesn't make anyone do anything against their will.

A perfect dom doesn't, no. I'm not saying I'd let him tie up my nearest and dearest, but I just don't get why he's supposed to have been playing (rather than, say, overreaching).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think, for the purposes of the aphorism, not recovering = being killed.

The aphorism needs to look up the word "kill" in the dictionary. Humph.

When it's cold enough to wean a vulture outside, and my tomato plants are stunted, they aren't being killed; but they aren't being made stronger, either. They are just ensuring that I won't have home-grown tomatoes till September.

If what he said was true, then the strength wouldn't be illusory.

Yup. That's what I'm saying.

Wait, what were we talking about again?

I thought she was confusing Firth with Owen.

My god! It's madness around here! Cats lying down with dogs...
