AmandaK, I really appreciate you commenting here! It's still an enormous compliment to hear that you skipped the FDK to hit the next chapter; your enthusiasm is the fun part. <3 Thanks for taking the time to share your favorite moments. And I couldn't articulate it while I was writing but you do it brilliantly here - that Lois' revelation was in slow motion; that's exactly what it was! Anyway, I'm so, so happy that you enjoyed it!
Andreia, wow, the re-read list! That's quite a compliment--thank you! I'm a total push-over for any Egypt story, so I'm glad to find another L&C fan that is, too! I absolutely overdid it on the reference notes, but the story just felt incomplete without it! Thank you for reading and commenting!
Peixinho, yes, I agree that the plight of the Qurnawis is totally unfair. There were decades of opportunities to right these wrongs and it never happened.

...I actually did go through an Incan/Mayan/Aztec phase, so... You never know! I never (ever!) thought I'd write an L&C story in Ancient Egypt! So I won't rule out Matchu Pichu at this point. Maybe that's the third installment if this ends up as a series.
Bakasi, thank you for reading and commenting! I really appreciate it!
Anna, I so appreciate you racing through this story (you read so fast!) and commenting on every chapter! Tbh, I feel like I did very little research; just plugged in a lot of things I'd been interested in once upon a time and double checked the details. Thanks so much for all your kind words!
Verity, thank you for commenting so faithfully as you read; I really appreciate it! And tbh, I thought Ancient Egypt was a fairly safe, widespread general interest-but you're absolutely right that I have a deep interest, even a passion, for it. <3 So glad that you liked this story!
Thanks, again, to
everyone that read this one! I really had a great time writing it, even though I was doing it at such a crazy pace. I appreciate everyone who left comments throughout!
