Thank you most kindly! And truthfully, I think Narcissa... if that is indeed who it was (no one has every been able to get her to admit it!) thoroughly enjoyed the adventure!

Thank you! I am currently a bit stalled out on the remaining 3 episodes in the series--they are partially completed, but lately I've been inspired more to write HP/DM and Albus Severus/Scorpius. I do want to wrap up all 27 in-progress stories in my files by the end of this year. (The temptation is great to just raise the white flag... )Wish me luck!

Good luck!  I think you must have some idea of how much we all adore Reggie and Moto.  I can't wait to hear more from them.

Honey, never apologize for reading--we all started out as 'voyeurs' here, only gradually daring (or remembering) to leave cookies for the writers.

But I'd be lying if I said a review like this didn't make my day. :)

Just so you know, there will be three more installments in the series. I don't know when I'll finish them, as Reggie fell in love with New Orleans when we went there for Phoenix Rising, and she's found enough work--and good bartenders--to keep her there on and off ever since! (The 'Al and Scorp Show' has been serving as the midseason replacement.)

You are very much welcome for every smile and every visual. Tthank you kindly for taking the time to review!

(And thank you especially for giving me the image of my brain as a sort of Bonsai Tree~ :D )

As a decadent deviant who has lived to wistfully regret (**sigh***remember**) many debauched years lived in New Orleans, I really look forward to reading about Reggie in the French Quarter. Oh,the FOOD! Oh, the music! Oh, the joie de vive! Wherever you locate her, she has a special place in my heart. Ummm, keep the Japanese guy too...he is precious. I will be checking back for your foul mouthed little angel...and your other stories too.

*hands over one more hanky* Thanks again for taking the time to review! Reggie and I will try to get back to comedy sometime this summer, after one more quick (and less teary, hopefully) detour into the career of Motoyoshi.

*hands over another hanky*Golly, I haven't heard from Pook in ages! I almost fear what Reggie and Turpin might get up to together... LOLThanks kindly for the review!

You realize that Drac is a total plonker, right? It's been bloody well like pulling teeth to get her to do anything online lately. Like answering emails, reviews, UPDATING MY JOURNAL...That being said, I'm right chuffed that you enjoyed hearing a bit about me checkered past. And you'd better believe that Drac knows she landed on her feet (still trying to figure out how she does that) when you two met. Lord knows, she'd never have become a validated author without you. She's crap with commas, no matter how often I tell her where to stick 'em.

Thank you very much! I've been sweating how this one would be received, but the truth behind Reggie had to get out there. Hopefully I can get the plot bunny hutch cleared out and get back to writing the rest of the Fairy God-Jarvey series soon!

I must say that I like all your works I read, those funny, those sad and those sad and funny at the same time, as this one is. Not that they are all perfect, but overall I would give your work 5 stars out of 5, because the small imperfections are not really significant, at least not for me.

*bows* Thank you very much.

Apologies first off--I'm sorry to be such a pillock and leave off answering this review for so long! I've finally begun to properly clear away the e-mess that built up while I was at Phoenix Rising with plushie-Reggie (who gleefully recounted the experience on her LJ!) I'm glad Tarty made a good impression. I figured Reggie needed an adoptive mom (not to mention some stability)  after all she'd been through. I surely do appreciate the vote of confidence (re: writing) and I'm beginning to think, more and more, that I'll 'retire' from fandom once the current hutch full of plot bunnies is cleaned out--and take a shot at the brass ring, so to speak. If I make it, I expect Reggie will drop a hint on her LJ or in my bio here. After all, what is Reggie's story about, if not honoring where you came from and the people you met on the way?

Thank you very, very, much for hanging in there through it all. I hope that the ending doesn't disappoint--it's not easy, being the only Fairy God-Jarvey; but rest assured that Reggie's record of happily-ever-afters is unbroken, from her first project to the present... and that is what makes her happy,

oh, boy--some tough crowd in science class! I'm afraid some things will be left to the imagination here, but there will be a few others that get resolution by the end. Reggie has several more rough patches to get through before she gets the chance to earn that tutu. Thanks kindly for reviewing, o friend of Jarveys!

Well, aside from Reggie's usual repertoire of profanity, the Spanish gets left behind in this chapter. Glad you liked the snapshot of another slice of the wizarding world! Thanks for the review!

Thank you! updates are ready, and only await the beta process.

Thank you! Reggie's story has been floating around for quite some time now, it was just a matter of netting it. More answers about the origin of the Fairy God-Jarvey coming up.

A soul as special as Reggie's is baptized in fire... and I promise, her specialty is fixing broken hearts. Thank you again for reviewing!

*sigh* That's the $64,000 question... the answer is, possibly.I have a finale to Reggie's story written. It's been written for some time, though I've tweaked it every time another installment in the chronicles subtly alters some of the details.But the Muse has been intractibly slow about finishing the installment _before_ that finale, and Motoyoshi's little tale. (I couldn't abandon the storyline without giving Moto an adventure of his own!) I want to post these last three stories chronologically, so the finished last tale must await completion of the other two. But rather than be able to complete the FGJ chronicles, I was hijacked by a couple of slond & brunet Slytherin truants. *rolleyes!*I suspect that the Muse does not wish to put the period on the end of Reggie's last sentence, and is delaying it as long as possible.

any more jarvey business is eagerly awaited!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I just didn't think that Reggie could succeed at being silly if she couldn't be sincere. :)

Thank you so very much! Yes, I've lived my entire life in LA, aside from visits to kin back east and going away to university. I do enjoy travel, and absorbing the sound and scent and sights of new places, but I really couldn't have Reggie come from anywhere but the place I love best. :)

sweet.  I'm from norcal...  :D

<--Golden Bear. Couldn't stand to go to University further away than Berkeley. :)

You are very much welcome. Thank you kindly for the review.

Thank you for bringing up Reggie's age--it made me sit down, study what I wrote, and determine exactly what year she was born!I have the idea that she was born in early summer (before Chema's sister came back from school). There are specific references to winter in the time she spent with Toussaint (less than a year). She ends up with Humphrey in the spring of the year after she was born, and the tour starts late the following spring. Therefore, she's 2 years old when she meets 'La Narcissette Noir.' If SHE is who she appears to be, then based on the HPL timeline, that would be in 1970. So Reggie was born in 1968. I looked it up, and it was a Year of the Monkey. (And she's probably a Gemini.)Perfect.So, thanks to the wonders of Fairy Magic, Reggie hits the big 4-0 next year, and will be celebrating a birthday in less than a month!Thank you very much for your review--especially since it forced me to think! (my favorite hobby!)

Very glad to be of help.  It's also one of my favourite hobbies when it's not my homework I am forced to concentrate on.

*bows* Thank you. Reggie's challenges aren't exactly over, but she's about to get two things which (in addition to her precious experiences to this point in loving and being loved) will see her through anything and everything.

Ah, you need to get The Muppets Season 1 on DVD! (My husband and I haunt their website to find out when they're going to release Season 2.) My kids and I sing along to Lydia and the 'manah manah' song all the time, and eldest knows all of Fozzy's jokes. LOL!I have my parents and grandparents to thank for my remarkably eclectic taste in music, and for the fact that my brain has become an i-pod on permanent shuffle...As for writing other stuff... I used to write original stories as a kid. Tentatively, I'm saying that I'll retire from fanfiction after the last book comes out and try to see if anyone will pay me for writing something. :)Thank you kindly for the review and the Muppet Memories. Muppets are made of awesome!

Reggie had a rough life before finding her calling, to be sure. I think that she's good at what she does because she understands what it means to hurt, and she knows the value of love. Thank you kindly for the review--and for noticing the 'oops,' which is now fixed. :)

Thank you very much. I was very worried about transitioning from Reggie's humorous present to her difficult past, and you reassure me that mi furry amigo and I made the leap.  :)

'Tis tragedy that makes the comedian, dear reader. Thank you kindly for coming along for the latest ride.
