*flail*
...I really, honestly was worried how you'd like it, because it was sort of my way of "paying it forward" for your FouMami fic--VERY relieved to see you liked it.
And this is my first fic of any length--the most I've written, previously, has been some Mononoke drabble. (And this is definitely one of the first I've REALLY poured my heart and soul into.) I've also tried to learn from those folks I do like as regards to their styles (guiltyred and raisedbymoogles especially get props here).
Glad you liked, and hopefully other folks will like too. I'm at least relieved it's not a disaster. :D
The timing is also oddly appropriate in another way; in the BOF IV manga, poor Fou-lu just got run out of Sonne in this month's ep and is probably going to get hit with the Carronade next month. *snif* And volume 3 with all the FouMami goodness is due out 10 April...
