Thank you. There are definitely issues that still linger in the canon, and I wanted to at least note them. This is still a fairly new fandom for me (and my first story in it of any real length -- which was not the plan when I started writing this). I'm really happy that you thought any of it was in-character. Woot!

I thought about posting it in parts, but I prefer to read long stories all at once, so I decided to post it whole. I have learned not to post WIP's, since it takes me forever to finish fics. (I still owe the final part in a Sherlock Holmes fic that I started over a year ago -- that has to be the next thing I write).

I'm really glad you liked this.
