I would read all of those YW fics. I liked AWoM, but partly that was just Barsoooom. I definitely think it's a transitional book to a new phase of awesome ('Melaaa! and all the other returning characters! and the Planetary! she was so cool), but it's not the strongest of them all so far, for certain.

Thanks for relinking to those fics! I saw that Holmes one in your Yuletide letter but didn't bookmark it.

(P.S. I think it's sort of wrong that I picture Madeline Mack as a grown-up Maddy Gaiman.)
