Oh, Karasu, this is gorgeous! He's perfect, and I love the confident (defiant!) control of his stance and his motion.
I'm at my sister's for the night -- probably my last net connection for over a week -- but I had to let you know how much I liked this. (And Sirius thanks you for your kind thoughts, I'm sure!)
If I set up a web site for my fic and such, may I display this?
