I won an award! I won! I won! Woohoo! ::jumps up and down while cackling gleefully::

Ahem. Er, now that I got that bit of foolishness out of my system . . . This recommendation was such a lovely surprise. I don't know how or when you happened upon my fic, but I'm pleased that you did -- and even more pleased that you enjoyed it enough to rec it like this. It's always wonderful to know that I hit the right characterization notes for a reader, and I sincerely appreciate everything you said. Thank you!
