Oh, this is just perfect. So very perfect.

From now on, when I read the books, I will come to this new ending. In fact, I'd better wipe my eyes, put my tea down, and go copy the URL into the book, so I go click right to it.

Thank you.

Thank YOU! I'm so happy you liked it. (I finished it maniacally yesterday to have it ready for your birthday.)

[sartorias]

I ended up rereading the entire end portion so I could mentally attach the story, and you nailed the voice just perfectly.

[rachelmanija]

It's all in the dashes.

Exactly. Exactly. And Ilse's "honey" . . . which I always thought hinted at extra meaning . . . and now it is real.
