I'm glad that you are writing the Mansell fic and also the Joe-forced-to-interact-with-children fic, omg!! (I'm forever glad that our tastes in fic overlap so well, considering that we share so many small fandoms/segments-of-fandoms.) (And if you want a beta for your stuff, I am always available! I can do spelling and grammar, and structural stuff/stylistic stuff.)
And procedurals/mysteries with supernatural elements are my kryptonite, and I'm actually kinda excited that that particular plotline ended where it did, because it means I can write whatever I want and it'll be technically canon-compliant!
(I've got so many fics I need to finish, though...there's a zombie apocalypse one for another fandom, and a Les Mis one where Cosette is half-fairy and she and Eponine end up going on a magical adventure together to save Valjean's soul, and the Whitechapel one which will delve more into Louise Iver [and I totally didn't even realize her name sounded like Lucifer, omg!])
And just...so many of the horror stories I read have the supernatural force as the sole reason for people "going crazy" or whatever, and I'd much rather read the story where maybe the ghost is a trigger, but then it gets exorcised or whatever and the protagonist is like, "Well, the ghost is gone but I still have all these compulsions/suicidal impulses/etc, what am I supposed to do?" And I can't fit horror elements into my main origfic project, so I'm just writing revenge-fanfic that features the ghost stories/demon stories/etc that I want to read, without all the stuff I don't like. (This is only tangentially connected to Whitechapel--I read so many ghost novels this summer, and all but a few of them were really sexist and/or ableist. But Whitechapel had supernatural stuff and also a good treatment of mental health issues, so I am claiming it as my own to write all the ghost fic about.)
And yeah, I loved the scene with Mansell and the movie as well! And Kent's character progression, omg!! (I'd also like to see more of his reaction to Mansell's suicide attempt, tbh.)
