Twin Peaks fic: Acquainted With the Night [Cooper/Albert]

Firstly, of course, wishing you all a very happy New Year! Talking to you all this past year has meant an awful lot to me; here's to another year, and that it may be a fine one. *hugs*


Now, on to fic. If there's anyone even remotely interested in Twin Peaks, let me just re-pimp my awesome Yuletide gift, If It Had To Perish Twice, as well as this creepy and moving Cooper/Audrey post-canon piece that I enjoyed very much which is called Untying.

Regarding said Yuletide gift: dear author, whoever and wherever you are (though I can guess, my dear, I can guess! *g*), thanks so much again. Because I'm a huge believer in the best thank-you for a gift being another gift, I took the liberty of writing a little coda to your story. It isn't much (not compared to 15,000 words of goodness it isn't!) and as I wanted to have this ready and posted before the reveal on Jan 1, time was pretty short so I can't promise you won't notice the very hasty editing. Also, I keep thinking of more possible expanations for the events in your story, and I have no idea which of them was the one you had in mind, so I may have unintentionally gone for a different one here. Still, I do hope you enjoy this and accept it as a heartfelt thanks.

To anyone else, this fic probably makes little sense if you haven't read the main story first, so yes - this is yet another unsubtle attempt to lure you into reading it, if you haven't already. *grins triumphantly* Ahaa - got you now, didn't I?

Anyway, here goes - hope you'll enjoy.
