This was supposed to be a quick 4/5 comment fill to kill some writer's block, which became 18 parts, then finally clocked in at 37 parts/over 45 comment-boxes.
It was at the time only the second thing I'd written in the fandom, and remains the longest thing I've written in any fandom, ever. And I wouldn't have finished it without the ongoing support of all the readers, particularly
popcorn-orgasms and
immoral-crow (who helped bash out the ending) and
sparklinglyful, who tirelessly tense/punctuation/continuity/pregnancy-timeline corrected over 32000 words. But I'm incredibly grateful for all of ye, particularly as there was often quite a bit of waiting involved.
