It was strangely fitting: yesterday our cat died (by stroke, quite suddenly) and when I came home after the vet and the grieving and the reminiscing, I found your story - in my favorite famdom, with my favorite pairing, from one of my favorite authors... and with animal daemons! And Tony's is a cat (well, a biiig cat)! It really was comforting and your timing was splendid ;o)
Apart from that, I really have to complement you, not only for your superior writing skills, the great characterizations, the flow, the style, the ideas, but this time what strikes me most is the wonderful balance you manage to achieve. This story is in all parts carefully crafted, and I especially love the way you give the same level of regard and appreciation to all the different times, different ages and circumstances, different people and different experiences. That is quite an art, and this story is a great piece of artistry. Thank you for giving it to us.
