Thanks, zeelee_penguin; glad you liked that one. I'm working on another Jimfic -- though it'll probably have to await my new computer -- but I'll try to do another Cass story at some point.

Eudoxia -- thanks as always for the rec. Especially such a glowing one. I think I could have made the story a little stronger in terms of handling Jim's process (not being needed to being needed after all), but I'm glad the inter-character bits work well for folks. And hope I made you cry in a good way.
