Oh, you know, you are so much more than welcome - it is I who should be thanking you; I'm the one who has the pleasure of reading it! I'd planned to rec First on flashback; I'm glad I decided to do it here instead, because it deserves as much recognition as it can possibly get.

You're just amazing, and I love everything you do - can't wait to see more Is there more dS in the works (someone up above alluded to the First sequel, which I remember you mentioning to me - or was it not really a sequel, but a companion piece ...)? I hope so! (And of course I owe you some comments on Simply Ray - I'll get there).

Anyway, I'm really glad I could do this - and sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your comment; somehow the comments to this post totally slipped by me and I didn't respond to any of them!
