I am returned! In fits and starts. Sorry for making you worry : ) I hope to be around more consistently here.

Ooo, fic! *claps* I hope this helps you some because it was a huuuuge missing piece for me. I think by the end of the season . . . I'm not necessarily dissatisfied with where things ended up. But I do feel cheated out of massive amounts of resolution: character exploration and interaction and people working through things and just issues being acknowledged and such. Which: at least fic is very good for that? But it's still rather disappointing and frustrating the amount of work it's taking to patch so much of this up *grumph*
