Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

"Wot?" doesn't have to be emphatic. But, more seriously, I think I'd probably have said "What?" or "What's that?" when I was at my most British, rather than "Huh?"

Not that I've ever thought about it beforehand. I would be the worst Ameri or Britpicker EVER. I could Jampick, though. Kinda.

I actually did switch out "Huh." for "Blimey,"

Are they Cockney? Did your beta suggest that? That does make me remember "Cor!" which I might have said out of surprise, but not questioning.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Maybe, "Hmmm"?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

It's also got to be chronologically-appropriate, as we're talking about English schoolkids in 1939.

Oh, right. This is Narnia. I'm, like, the only person around who's never read a single Narnia book. I think I might have watched an animated version of the first book that was made back in the 1970's when I was wee (dubbed, of course.) It's like that time when I didn't know what the hell "Where the Wild Things Were" was and had people look at me askance.

Vonnie, I know you're not a born American, but that's no excuse for being heathen! OMGlolol!

Now, Anne of Green Gables? We were ALL OVER that. And A Dog of Flanders, which I was surprised to hear was not that very popular here (it IS an awful downer.)

And don't even talk to me about Sesame Street. I still don't know what Bert and Ernie look like.

Like this, is all you need to know.

Hahaha. Erm, which one is Bert and which one's Ernie again? It's like that time when mely from LJ said she couldn't remember the names of McKay and Sheppard from SGA, so she thought of them as Bert and Ernie, and I couldn't figure out which one was which. The only muppets I recognize are Kermit and Miss Piggy.

... and Rygel and the Pilot, of course.

Bert is tall and Ernie is bratty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Abed is Bert.
