Thank you, as always, for your wonderously kind words! Like I said in another response - all things have to come to an end. I do have more fics in the works - several even finished and betaed, just waiting to be posted. Nothing quite as long as this, though (the next long fic will be 20 000 words). I'm trying to bribe my muse into giving me something good, but she's not cooperating at the moment.
