The universe remains intact! I am amazed, quite amazed! And delighted-- you know how I feel about crossovers :D

Which reminds me, where oh where can I find the movie with Humboldt and Bonpland? Even Amazon didn't have it the last time I looked for it.

(I found the apology for the door, and Killick's coughing, disproportionately amusing.)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Aire Libre still seems available. :D

Loved the picture of Jack in all his Blue and Gold :) My heart ached for his now short hair... >_<
But lovely the last scene, the both of them snuggling together.

Thank you very much for writing and sharing :)

Oh, it was not easy for me to write Jack's hair cut. Considering the year it is set in, it was unfortunately likely that he would no longer wear his hair clubbed.

Thank you. I am glad you have enjoyed this.

This fear for Stephen is probably the only thing that can spook Jack - you expressed it, and the reciprocal love so wonderfully well.

We read about Jack's fear on several occasions in the books.

I am glad you liked it. :D Thank you.
