I'm really interested in the Luke/Mede relationship, and it's sad that there'll be no more of it in the future. I find it fascinating that it's never clear if Luke knows Mede is his brother- on the one hand, surely he must know? On the other hand, it could be one of those things that is easier for strangers to notice, because you've spent your whole life with someone and it never occurs to you to wonder. I could have read much more about them.
I love that Poe is in this, though it's one of those cases where it's a bit depressing to find out more about historical figures, as I hadn't previously known he supported slavery. I do like that Ben and Rose are early fans of his! (But not Hannibal? Now I want the fic where they argue over poetry.)
I love Chloe and Minou's relationship in this, as well as Charmian. It's rare that toddler-aged characters are at all interesting, but she's pretty cute. But the lack of Rose and Hannibal is quite tragic. I would have loved to see Hannibal pretending to be a failed artist, or Rose riding after slave-stealers. Or both cheering on baseball-playing Ben.
Libre is fun! I like the Ben/Minou/Hannibal conversation quite a lot.
