This story rocks my socks because it is actually fantastic meta (a sort of "best of" meta with little impressive insights from everywhere), but it's also meta that's housed in great prose.
And yay for theme inversions from Doctor Who, for palindromes of Jack, for Jack reflecting himself in his (ineffective) team, and for Tosh trying to sleep with Suzie. I didn't even garner that last one from the fic itself, but you say it now and it is so very, very true. I wish I had meta-ish thoughts to throw back at you, but everything is still percolating through my brain.
