Thank you so much for reading. If you've enjoyed reading this half as much as we enjoyed writing it, we are thrilled. We had so much fun creating this universe and these characters, and the whole time we were writing we kept saying that even if no one else read it, we would be happy because we were just writing the story we wanted to read. We are so incredibly happy to know that so many of you love it as well.

The next story in this trilogy is complete and will be posted shortly. We need a couple of weeks to finish up some polishing, and then we'll be back!

On a related note: the second story is just slightly longer than this one and currently the chapter breaks are quite a bit longer -- averaging around 8k words vs 4k. We'd love to hear opinions from readers: would you prefer we break the chapters in half and resume daily posting? Or should we leave them as is and post every other day?
