SO, for some reason I'm having a hard time posting this chapter on LJ without breaking it into a dozen tiny parts..... Instead, i'm posting a link to where the chapter is posted -in full- on AO3. I should also mention that there's some ficlets posted on my AO3 account that I don't believe I ever got round to sharing here on LJ, if y'all are interested.
Also, I know I said this would be the last chapter, but it ended up being a LOT longer than I thought it would be so I've split it. Thus here you have chapter 19, which is NOT the finale. I do, however, feel pretty confident that the rest will all fit into one last chapter so... let's tentatively say Step 20 will be the last one? It's a nice even number too, which I like. :P
>>> STEP 19 <<< As always, thanks for sticking with me all this time, and much thanks to everyone for giving this a read. Your feedback is much appreciated.
