I've nearly finished season 2. I watched the whole of season 1 in a week, watching 7 episodes in one day alone. I didn't mean to, but couldn't seem to bring myself to stop. I managed to ration season 2 a little more, but not much.

Thanks for the fic rec. I'll take a look this weekend. I've been reading some fanfic - long, plot-filled angsty-hurty gen - but am being very cautious so as to avoid season 3 spoilers. I also have a vague story idea in my head, but I don't want to write anything until I've watched all episodes. Even though the story is an AU that spins off from early in season 2 (probably), I'd be afraid of contradicting bits of character backstory revealed in later episodes.
