Thanks to my betas!
In an inexcusable omission, I left the names of my two betas out of the story notes above. Rather than argue with the html (which doesn't always untangle itself into rich text when I need it to), I'd like to give a big shout-out of thanks to them. Syrah and psi, you two ladies keep me in line (of course any instances in this story where I snuck back out of line are entirely my fault). I am so lucky to "know" you, and look forward to many more collaborations in the future.
