Personal note: I've been away for a bit, because I was preparing for and had major dental surgery, which was step one in repairing a traumatic injury incurred during a bike accident a few years ago. But I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who left me comments on my other fics. I appreciate and will respond to all of them. Now that I'm recovering, hopefully I can get back to some regular writing.
