I love that this fic plays with the "vestigia" concept (magical character that builds up in places through history). I also love that this fic shows how important his quiet competence is to Nightingale's character — when he suddenly doesn't have it anymore, that was actually a really scary moment. And I think the case really fits into what's known of the canon universe's history and background characters. I think this really ranks among the top fics in this fandom.
