And you! I can't believe you weren't satisfied with this. It's so amazingly beautiful, stars, and it's one of my favorites from this match.

*hugs you*

Eeee! I don't know that it was that I wasn't satisfied with it (though after exchanging emails with Nos there are some things I would tinker with, probably) but by deadline I was just so out of my head I had no idea what I'd actually written. :-p

I only had time to read it through entirely, umm, I think twice before I had to send the final draft - and one of those times was final beta. But more on that later next week. I'm just glad I survived and it didn't entirely suck it's all over. &hearts

YAY FIC MATCH! \everybody/
