Something else I meant to mention was how interesting I found the way you talked about switches and how they are viewed in this society. It mirrors for me the way bisexuals are often view in the gay community in that if they end up with an opposite sex partner everyone one says they were straight all along and were just experimenting and if they are with a same sex partner they were gay but were too afraid to admit it. Neither assumption is fair or right and simply belittles the person and their own sexual identity.
You have talked about switches before in this universe, the most prominent of which I can remember are Rodney's parent which obviously led to their own problems but I had always wondered about the dynamic of a switch in the context of a healthy Top/Sub relationship. Initially I would have thought two switches would have made a better pairing but I am really interested to see how this Ducky/Woolsey dynamic works out and how Ducky's place within the dynamic and his own identity comes through.
