Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, I'm having a brainfart: what's the term, preferably slang, for a police informant? Specifically a prostitute who sleeps with the bad guy and then dishes to the cops.

I only know CI -- confidential or criminal informant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stool pigeon, if you're old school.

Which I don't think jibes with the fic Julie's writing.

Ooh, also, narc.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Other possibilities: rat, fink, snitch.

Is "source" too formal? Also, it's not meant to be derogatory.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Juliebird, who is using the term? A cop, an outside observer, someone pretending to be a cop?

I'd go with CI. Well, depending on who they're talking to, I guess.

(I really am dying laughing).

I thought it would be watch from the hall for me the first time I watched it, but it won me over quite quickly.

I liked the DW one better, cuz Tennant does lots of crazy wacky body contortions that make it that much more awful.

(I like CI).

I knew I'd heard that song before.
