Oh! OK, I'm a little slow, but I finally get it, what your overall summary means. I've no personal experience of D/s but I've done my share of reading about it, and the slowly, meticulously built-up depiction of subspace that you give us here - in the fic as a whole, I mean, not just this (delicious) chapter - has to be about the best I've ever seen. I feel like I not only get your summary, but just plain get it.

By the way, are you reading the marginal comments in the script page sneak peeks Eastin has been tweeting links to? One of the latest said, among other things: "USA note - This is all very easy for Neal. Give him a hoop to jump through." LOL
