Author’s notes: Thank you to akadougal for excellent beta work and being a cheerleader throughout! Thanks to the DCBB mods for putting together such a wonderful project. And really, extra super-special thanks to my artist, scarletscarlet, who in addition to the art has helped with monster design, plot tweaks, and supplementary beta duties, and has really been a true partner in making this story happen. I am so grateful.

You did it, we're here! I know I've already gushed all over it, and you, in the art masterpost, but really, I don't know how I can possibly express the level of my enjoyment in this project and in you as a partner.

The best possible experience; anyone would be so lucky to work with you, and more than once I indulged in some serious glee over getting to be the one to do it ♥.

*spins you around the room*

Beautiful!! 100 times beautiful. I'm just starting to read this masterpiece, but I'm already astounded. Good work!
I write a fan fic too (this user is only for the fanfic), and I hope I could get some readers. You have quite a few and I'm not surprised, with such amazing story.
