Oh, that was simply wonderful! I never read gen, but I do adore AUs so much, and the steampunk totally sold me. I loved how you paid homage to canon but made it so much your own, and the characterizations were spot-on. I especially loved your takes on Jo and Ava. It was so easy to get lost in the story, I definitely didn't see Jo coming. :)
One tiny thing: Jo's name is actually short for Joanna in canon, but if you changed it for the time period that's quite all right, just wanted to be sure you knew.
Anyway, totally fantastic piece. I would love to see more in the verse! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
