Oh thank you! And thank you very much for such blush and grin-inducing comments, they have buoyed me immensely on a tiring, crankypants day. I do have another story underway, but it's frustratingly early and with a ong long way to go, I have more to write in this story line, too, and I will get it done asap, a start has been made! I do love your metaphor of reading as devouring; I'm trying to snack on a fic or two myself at the moment!
