I hope I'm not committing necromancy (I don't know how old a post has to be here to be considered dead), but I just started scouring the forum for my LnC fix and I didn't notice this story was incomplete when I started reading. Of course, after I started I couldn't very well stop with more story to read. So I post this in the hope that amberlea reads this and takes pity on a poor girl that just wants to read more wink
