Summary: invertible counterpoint: counterpoint in which the voices, while retaining their original form, may be interchanged above or below one another in any order

I might do something incredibly old-fashioned and write up a DVD commentary-type thing for this, because I had so much fun playing with a Vicky who's an art thief and a John who investigates her as opposed to vice versa.

The cover art for the Recorded Books audiobook of Street of the Five Moons isn't the greatest, but it has its charms and it grew on me while I was doing canon review, so I added it to my icons. There's not much to choose from when it comes to cover art that attempts to depict them! Dishonorable mentions go to this Dutch edition where they both have dark hair for some reason, and the Recorded Books audiobook of Trojan Gold where they appear to have accidentally published an unfinished sketch and even if there was meant to be a final version, it looks like it was shaping up to be bad. The American hardcover of Silhouette in Scarlet is my favorite, but the composition isn't suitable for iconning, unfortunately. The Recorded Books audiobook of Night Train to Memphis is mediocre but at least it's finished.
