Thank you for pushing this to the top of my updates list. It had been a long time since I thought about this one.
I started retreading it immediately, and... somewhere in the middle, my re-read turned into a first-time read -- despite loving it, I had never finished it! Dozens and dozens of new chapters, completely unexpected. What a treat.
What a shame it would have been if I had never come back to it. Thanks for the bump.
(And wow, what an ending!)
