Thank you! I haven't read a whole lot of KKM fanfiction yet (I only got into the series about a week or so ago? haha) and most of it has been more lighthearted ConYuu fluff, and while I do enjoy it, I figured it's about time that someone started addressing some of the big issues between them, because while I do want to see them become a happy couple, in my mind, there's several things they'd definitely have to address. Although the Betrayal Arc was mostly resolved, as you said, there's definitely something missing. I can imagine that Conrad probably had quite a few demons to face, post-Betrayal Arc, in addition to the issues he and Yuuri already have (eg. Julia), so that gave me a nice starting point. ^_^ I do feel rather guilty though, because I realize that in reality the best approach would've probably been for the two to address each issue separately and over time. But I just don't have it in me to attempt a multi-chapter epic these days, so... :3 well, maybe in the future? Haha, we'll see.

I definitely do want to try writing these two some more, because I do love them to death, but I am slightly burned out after this first attempt, as I wrote the entire fic in one day and found it radically departing from the original plan after a while. It's always rather odd when a fic almost develops a life of its own.

Anyway, I'm babbling now, heehee, but thank you for the kind words. ^_^ And yes, that is my favorite line too. I don't remember which episode I was watching when it suddenly came to me, but I knew I must include it in a ConYuu fic someday, and in this case, it turned out to be very appropriate.
