Is Hazel really not recognising the story? And does that mean all the El-Ahrairah stories have a basis in something that really happened, once? (well, as real as this story anyway)

Date: 2016-09-01 17:08 (UTC)I *think* the author intended it to suggest that without the need to pull together against the General, Hazel and Bigwig might never have reached such an appreciation of each other as is shown in-text. But yes, going from there to "and they lived happily ever after running the warren while shacked up happily with Hyzenthlay" seems perfectly reasonable and I am currently resisting the urge to check AO3 to see if it has already been done.
