Awww, Sue. You always say the sweetest things! ♥ ♥ I loved writing this one, and at the time, I'd just finished modding my springsmut fest and was so completely wiped out. But then I started writing this, ('cause, yanno, it was due in like a week! LOL) and I felt much better. That you were able to follow and understand without intimate knowledge of the canon is a huge compliment, and I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it!

On another note, I'm sorry your friend is ill again - I can completely sympathize with scar tissue in the intestines. I imagine they'll do a small resection to get rid of it. The immediate recovery sucks, but once it starts healing and she can move (and eat!) again, it'll make a huge difference in how she feels. I hope she has a speedy and pain-free recovery! *HUGS*

btw - I'm sorry I'm so ridiculously late with responding to this. (lalala a year and a half later) I completely forgot, and feel like an idiot, but better late than never! ♥
