I finally finished chapter 21 (which was giving me fits) and am now about halfway done with chapter 22! I'm also thinking there might be a small epilogue, if no one will get mad that there's an extra part I didn't warn you about! peep

Many thanks go to Anonpip, DW, and Morgana for beta-reading these last chapters in a hurry for me! The story's much better for their input and encouragement!

I'd love to hear what you all think of this chapter--thanks!
