and it went places I never expected, or expected to like (I often live in terror of 'descendent' fics, where families turn my fandoms into some kind of weird North vs South thing *LOL), and you put it together brilliantly, making me as interested in the new characters as I was in my beloved known characters. You created a unique universe that you should be very proud of, and if I told you I just got a little dust in my eye there at the end, well, I'd be a liar *L*

Thanks for a job well done and I look forward to reading more from you!
Cheers!
