Wohoo, thank you :D

(yup, one of those who avoid WIPs even when I know they're finished)

[dira]

I totally understand! One of the things I love about long stories is being able to just get immersed in them, so I know the feeling (even though I'm often too impatient to actually wait). :D

[lomedet]

SO EXCITED!!!!!

[dira]

:D :D :D

[lomedet]

And now I've finished it - UTTERLY AWESOME. I loved the whole thing, but perhaps most especially the reveals at the very end.

[dira]

Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it. :D

[green]

eeeeee! And I've already seen it recced on my circle, so congrats! (is the art spoilery?)

[dira]

Thank you! Yay! (The art is vaguely in the middle of the story and doesn't reveal any plot points but does point toward the general trajectory of events, so if you don't want any hints at all don't look at it until after Chapter 2 or so.)

[scy]

\o/ This story is a delight, from start to finish!

[dira]

Thank you! :)

[sara]

Oh yay, I have had a crap week and would really like to read a novel, but I don't like to read WIPs!

[dira]

I totally timed it that way on purpose. Yes. :D

[sara]

Very gracious. ;> I enjoyed it, thank you.

[dira]

Thank you back! :)

[pandarus]

Yay! So chuffed you've finished it! This is absolutely marvellous, and I am fallling upon the ending with squeals of delight. Mad props to you!

[dira]

Thank you! :D

On my Nook! (I already read the first chapter and have been brought to tears so I think it's already an emotional winner. :D)

[dira]

Yay, glad you're enjoying it! :D

[julad]

I'm so glad you finished posting this when you did! I was sick today and got to read the whole thing in one go. I really enjoyed the slow build, and it was a very guilty pleasure to see how well everything worked out with just a few canon tweaks. Plus, epic snuggling. Thanks so much for awesome sick-day comfort fic.

[dira]

Thank you back! I'm glad to know you enjoyed it, and doubly glad to have had such good timing for you. :)

[beck_liz]

Enjoyed this so, so much. Will totally be rereading as comfort fic in the future.

[dira]

Thank you, I'm glad to know you liked it! :)
