No no, I'm sorry! I have a weird sense of humor. I actually really loved the fic, I was just upset in a few parts. I meant to put in a note that that was my strange brand of sarcasm, but I forgot to D:

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the story. But thank you for your comment.

LOL Wow, I bow to you, Mum! I'm glad I can give you an enjoyable moment or two. I usually don't do huge fics. I do have one long one that I've just started archiving here at TPP, but I'm pretty much happy with ten chapters or less - and I really appreciate your comments. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments throughout the story. In my early days of writing fanfiction, the Muse totally held sway, and to this day, there are moments of this fic I honestly don't remember writing, because I was just taking his dictation. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate your comments all along the way.

Thank you - I wanted to show that, as time passed and the world changed, they changed with it.

Thank you so very much. That is music to my ears. I feel that fanfiction has helped me grow so much as a writer - which is why I'm doing a major re-write of Her Minder, my original novel. I realised after starting its sequel that my 'voice' had changed, and Her Minder needed to change with it. It's been hard but it was the right decision. It's lovely to hear this from someone who has read a lot of my stories - thank you so much for being so encouraging.

I've always enjoyed them pulling together against a common adversary - I mean, in real life, you normally either hit it off or you don't! ;)

It is really too horrible to contemplate, and was very difficult to write. Thank you for your appreciation.

LOL It's fun to write angst, but it's even more fun to resolve it to HEA - especially in a longer fic. I don't mind making them miserable in a shorter one ;)

Thanks! I love making you miserable!!

Angst and grief are my chocolate.

I was certainly trying to find my feet with him on this fic - I loved the assertive, Dominant lover, but I love that vulnerable side too - who says you can't have it both ways! Thanks, Droxy!

I'm getting such a buzz from you enjoying this - I had no idea you hadn't read it!

cosplay, work, modding, and photo management eat nto reading time.  I dont nearly read as much fanfic as I did before year 2008.  So there is plenty of fic I havent read.  Soif SS/Hg really does slow to a crawl- I have tons of fic I can read.  There are novels and novels of fic I havent read.  I am not really a fast reader.  Pluse we got exchange going on-that's usually my read fest for the year outside of drabbles.

Well, brace yourself. I'm getting ready to upload my monster epic Lay Me Low here, and I'm almost finished with it. You'll recall that little dragon as being in it's first couple of chapters when you first one my TPP auction. Yes, it's still going, but I'm nearly done. I'm currently working on the next chapter. Hopefully it will be done this month.

This is the first SSHG fic I wrote with real voice sluttery. I think I had him say everything I'd ever wanted to hear! LOL

Well, it seems like a very long time ago that I wrote this, and it was pre-stgulik, so it could have probably benefitted from her good advice. But I'm thrilled to pieces you are enjoying it!

LOL - Never, dear Droxy! This is an oldie - it's been around for a long time! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you sweetie! As a matter of fact, I do have a secondary career as a songwriter. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, and those are real songs, both the Black-Eyed Angel's song and the lullaby. I belong to a Songwriter's Guild, and I have been fortunate to win awards for my songwriting there.I do love AR's incredible voice. A friend gave me his audiobook version of Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native. I listen to it, and although I love it, I actually don't really know what's going on - I'm too busy loving his voice!
