First, allow me to apologize for (a) taking so long to write LM14 (even though it actually didn't take that long? word-count wise, anyway), (b) letting real life get in the way (which, unfortunately, is no one's fault), and (c) struggling through the edits and taking even longer (I had trouble with this part for reasons that are best left unsaid ( Read more... )

I just had an epic battle with AO3 to get Part 9 posted.  There were formatting errors that popped up AFTER I posted it.  There are probably MORE formatting errors.  And on top of that, I broke AO3, somehow, because it made me post Part 9 in TWO chapters.
