I found little that was useful and a great number of these   unhelpful papers ended up flung about our living room floor.

Glad I caught up with this again, it's wonderful...it's like bathing in angst... I mean that in a very good way.

I'm often wary of starting in on WIPs halfway through the process--especially a long one, as this is.

I prefer to sit for hours, if need be, and read through the entirety of a piece--ending with a well-deserved conclusion--in a single sitting rather than deal with the uncertainty of when the next piece will be posted

I hope you do enjoy the rest.

I came back here after a few weeks of absence from SH and I was so happy to see that you are still writing this fic. It's moved from "just" a kink meme prompt to so much more. :)

Thank you. Heh, yes, at this point I think it's fair to say it's taken on a bit of a life of its own. Especially since the substance of the prompt was fulfilled like TEN CHAPTERS AGO or something. *facepalm*
