YES WONDERFUL I have done my good deed for this week.
Dick Francis loves a hyper-detailed digression even more than he loves whumping a stoic woobie. Maybe he read Les Miserables at an impressionable age.
The fic is SUCH a delight, and I had so much fun when I was reading the book coming up on the scenes that I knew must be coming in some form (although sometimes a bit metamorphosed from their fic counterpart). The bit where they put Sid on the jockey scales and Sid, who is about to be tortured and maybe killed, notices that he could definitely still weigh in as a steeplechase jockey! SID HOW YOU ARE YOU NOTICING THAT IN THIS MOMENT.
