'O'Brien's accent being written out kind of bugged me - didn't flow with the rest of the fic, I thought.'

You're right. I was being sloppy there, going with "traditional" Irish-esque spelling instead of actually listening to Miles's voice. *fixes*

(Thanks for the nitpick; I don't often use a beta, being pretty qualified at the technical stuff myself, so I wind up missing little mistakes like that. :-)
