In some stories, it's hard to imagine that they can function on a day to day level, much less do the job they do.
Yes - exactly! I mean, I adore a bit of h/c, but sometimes... *g* But Sirens doesn't quite cross that boundary, and I can see how it works for both of them... I was fascinated by the idea of Doyle taking drugs voluntarily, mind (okay, made involuntary by emotional pressure?) but it wasn't made too much of, just the right amount of crises to get him to such an out-of-character thing, so...

The most recent Sebastian story was the Christmas one, a few years ago - definitely not quite the same thing... though really I should read that again anyway... *g* And no more Helen Raven either, whose stories I also adore, even at their harshest...
