High Time Someone Did[1] is a short story written by queen_ypolita as a treat for fawatson for Yuletide 2009. It features Mic Freeborn of Purposes of Love, which is one of Mary Renault's early contemporary novels. The story is set pre-book, and provides four scenes in Mic’s child and young adulthood which help to explain his hesitance over relationships and shows his emerging talents at science: one as a little boy learning he is a bastard, one explaining how he came to go to a good school, one at school where he makes a friend, and one when he starts at Cambridge.
Comments on the story include:
- His failure to realise his own talents, and awe of Sidebottom's confidence echoes the relationship he has with Jan in Renault's novel.[2]—fawatson
- Oh, lovely! The idea of him finding his name and his space is just perfect.[3]—Adrian
